As well as being a popular compere, Barry regularly headlines gigs around the country. He has performed in New York, Ireland, The Melbourne Comedy Festival, Glastonbury and the Reading Festival. TV stand up includes The Stand Up Show (BBC1) Live At The Comedy Store (Comedy Central) and Net.Comedy (Carlton)
