Always Be Comedy - EP90 - Angela Barnes
Multi-award-winning comedy nights Always Be Comedy is finally exploiting those sweet, sweet contacts… WITH A GIG-THEMED PODCAST!
Guests curate their ideal comedy gig: who would they have open? Close? What dream moment from their gigging days would they love re-enact at this gig? And what live comedy nightmare from their past must not happen again under any circumstances? There’s this and so much more.
Today's guest is a comedy superstar and “friend” of the night: Angela Barnes!

About us:Host James Gill launched Always Be Comedy in 2011; since then the cream of the comedy world have called ABC their second home. James is a comedian and former journalist, with more than two decades of experience interviewing some of the biggest film, TV and sports stars on the planet… this has got a bit self-aggrandising but we want you to know it’s not ABC’s first rodeo.ABC’s Tim Lewis has worked at the biggest and best comedy and entertainment shows in Britain and is invariably tech-ing half the shows at the Edinburgh Festival each year (these aren’t his words, so please don’t accuse him of bragging).Always Be Comedy won Best Pro Comedy Night at the 2023 Chortle awards, having previously won Best Comedy Show at the Joe.co.uk Awards.

The Always Be Comedy team (OK, James and Tim) have launched a spin-off podcast: Always Be Comedy’s Comedy Heroes.

SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS
Julie's first BAFTA win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ4R8RhH3So
Two Soups https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htvs1wXv1-0
Julie Walters in Billy Elliott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE9HCZtknkg
More on Comedy Heroes: We’ll uncover hidden gems, revisit classic routines, and share the sorts of behind-the-scenes anecdotes that you can pass off as your own knowledge at dinner parties (“Did you know that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the daughter of a billionaire? You did? Ah, that’s sort of rained on my parade a little…”).
What’s more, each episode kicks off with reader correspondence. Want to nominate a “Comedy Hero”? Please email [email protected] with the subject line “Comedy Heroes”.
And we’ll also take a look at the comedy news from that week.
If laughter is the best medicine, James and Tim should be doctors*! *This is just a gentle way to wrap up – James and Tim should NOT be doctors.
