Love is an absolutely subjective term. What does love mean to you? Is it possible that Barry Loves You? If it isn’t, why isn’t it even possible? And if it is possible, then come and spend an hour with someone who loves you.
Barry Loves You is the new show from award-winning comedian Barry Ferns. Who do you love? What do you love? And why? Crucially, can you still love someone when they have crossed a line? Barry Loves You picks up on some of the themes of last few traumatic years, in terms of how many loved and admired public figures have fallen short and how they could and should be seen when they have transgressed. All that – and laughs.
