Angela Barnes
You will know Angela Barnes from Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and as a regular panellist on Mock The Week. She is a fabulous, flame-haired comedian, never short of a snappy quip, positively bursting with stories and jokes.
In her new show, Hot Mess, Barnes reflects on marriage, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and the pandemic. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I spoke to Barnes about all of this, plus her love of bunkers - not the golfing variety – and more.
Angela Barnes is taking her new show Hot Mess on the road following a run at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Update - Autumn 2023 dates now added - see link here for dates: www.angelabarnescomedy.co.uk

This really is an interesting line-up for this week's Richard Osman's House of Games Champion of Champions show for a number of reasons.
In a bid for glory, stars from the BBC and ITV will go head-to-head in a special episode of University Challenge for BBC Children in Need.

Comedian Angela Barnes is setting out to do 3000 sit ups during March to raise money for the Royal Marsden Hospital.
The Brighton-based comedian has decided to do this to support the hospital because it has been looking after her friend and fellow stand-up Phil Jerrod, who has been undergoing cancer treatment.
Barnes says: "The Royal Marsden are brilliant, and I'd love it if you could support them.
Black Dog Television has recorded a taster for a brand new sitcom starring Angela Barnes, Julia Deakin and Perry Benson, directed by Ella Jones (Enterprice, Pandemonium).
Could Angela Barnes become an all-time record breaker on House of Games tonight?
The Brighton-based comedian has been dominating the show this week, winning all four editions so far, often by convincing margins.
The other competitors this week are Denise Van Outen, Melvin Odoom and Greg Rutherford.
Numerous other celebrity contestants have won four out of five editions but nobody has ever won every single edition they have appeared in.
There isn't much good news around at the moment but Beyond The Joke has managed to find some. Comedian Angela Barnes is to marry her boyfriend Matt.
The new host of Radio 4's The News Quiz posted the news on social media with a picture of her ring and freshly manicured fingers.
He had been planning to do it sooner but there had been a mix-up with the rings.
Angela Barnes (The News Quiz, Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo) has teamed up with comedy writer and author John O’Farrell (Spitting Image, Have I Got News For You, Grumpy Old Men) to produce a series of weekly ‘less-than-serious’ history podcasts.
