Saw he's never had a mention. Probably very few have heard of him. Apparently his Edinburgh show was just a poor mans' Bob Slayer act.

i've seen Barnaby and thought he was great. He was doing a slot on Charlie Chuck's show.
I definitely wouldn't compare him to Bob Slayer, I have alot of time for both acts but would say they're very different. Therre's something very bold about his performing - suppose him and Bob both have a 'I dont give a shit' attitude but in terms of content they're incredibly different.

He was on a spikey mike gong show with me at my first ever gig. I remember he was by far the funniest on the night but didn't win. I haven't seen him since anywhere so wondered if he was still around

He's brilliant when he wants to be. He did a character called "Khristian D Kirkland, relationship therapist" that had me in tears.

That was a great character

He is a genius. I love seeing him. Seen him around 40 times (seriously) now in the East Midlands area. He apparently cries sometimes before he goes on stage though. Not sure what thats about. Nice guy though. Told me hes trying to get on TV now because he hates alternative comedy or something. Seemed a bit strange because I thought he was an "alternative comedian" .

He's a force of nature, like osmosis or erosion.
