Barry from Watford with Shooting from the new hip “second date added

Park View · Chalkwell

Demagogue? Iconoclast? Dilettante? Virtuoso? Ok, these words have nothing to do with the show but they do make it sound clever and that's what it's all about. Shooting from the (new) hip, still alive and kicking, the nation's favourite octogenarian and hit of Radio 2's Steve Wright in the Afternoon and Sky Atlantic's Common Ground returns with his stand-up show armed with fierce one-liners, biting satire plus some effing and that sort of thing for the teens. A rip-roaring, fast-paced hilarious show. 'Top quality character comedy' (Guardian). 'Alex Lowe's stunning creation' (Time Out). 'Wonderfully observed ... poignant and very funny' (Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard). 92 year old Barry from Watford was first brought to public consciousness when he became a cult star on Iain Lee's LBC 97.3FM phone-in show. London listeners loved Barry’s sunny outlook and joie de vie and followed him to Iain Lee’s show on Absolute Radio. He was also a regular feature in the form of the “lifestyle guru” on Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2. His viral hits about 'Minty Biscuits' and 'Carpetright' have amassed 100s of millions of hits whilst his Channel 4 game show with Noel Edmonds "...

Ian Stone presents LOOKING FOR THE WOW

Park View · Chalkwell

Ian Stone brings his latest tour show to Southend for a repeat performance after his SELL OUT FIRST VISIT. 'LOOKING FOR THE WOW' Life can’t just be the humdrum, the mundane and the routine before the inevitable slide to disease, decay and death. Why can’t we sneak in a bit of awesome, a tad of amazing and maybe a smidge of wonderful? A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years, I think we’ve been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual but I’ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah. Forty nine years ago. ’God will be watching’ she said. Well, at least he got to see the game. The point is, life could be so much better so I’m on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt. PLEASE NOT SEATS ARE UNRESERVED THEATRE STYLE.

Paul Sinha presents 2 Sinha Lifetime

Park View · Chalkwell

Paul Sinha: 2 Sinha Lifetime Paul Sinha returned to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025 after a dramatic 2023 that saw him booking a ticket to Edinburgh’s Royal Infirmary half-way through his run. The autumn that followed became a flurry of tests, scans and finally the surgery which set him on the road to recovery. With no small debt to the NHS, Paul celebrated his 30th anniversary in stand-up in 2025. He is delighted to be touring his latest Edinburgh Fringe show around the UK. As seen on: The Chase, Taskmaster, QI, Would I Lie To You? and The Hit List Press for 2 Sinha Lifetime ‘12 must-see comedy shows at Edinburgh Fringe 2025 - He may entertain as a Chaser and impress as a quizzer, but he truly shines on stage. Sinha is an absolute worldie of a stand up and the fact he’s a bona fide polymath shouldn’t dilute that fact.’ Rolling Stone ★★★★★ ‘In short, it is clever. It is honest. It is very, very funny.’ Broadway Baby ★★★★★ ‘An upbeat, quick-witted, wide-ranging, gag heavy comedy show. Sharp and self-deprecating, every gag lands.’ On the Mic ★★★★★ ‘Banging one-liners and some pithy ditties on the keyboard.’ Mail on Sunday Age: 16+
