Dan Lentell, Edinburgh49, 11th August 2016Seven questions with... Twins
Twins are Jack Barry and Annie McGrath, a sketch duo known for their silly and childish style of comedy that epitomises the idea of escapism within entertainment. These two make a marvellous pair, with their contrasting personalities producing an interesting comedic energy within performance, and with elements of surrealism and absurdity giving their material a refreshing twist. Barry and McGrath bring their latest show Two Balls In A Bag to this year's Edinburgh Festival.

Chortle, 29th March 2016Reviewer review: Dave Coates (The List)
Dave Coates is one of those reviewers who, like a teacher at a long-established school, wants everyone to try their best. And he wants them to be cheerful about it. Jack Barry, for example, "seems self-aware enough that his mis-steps suggest a performer in the middle of a promising learning process". Coates could have added "Will grow into a fine young man".
