This event is part of the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Please be advised: no Wednesday sessions. Sunday sessions begin at 5:20pm.
Domestic abuse isn’t funny, but this show is. Trailblazing gay UK comedian James Barr makes his Melbourne debut with a bold, “genre-defying” (ArtsHub) hour of stand-up. A darkly hilarious reckoning with shame, survival and a pushy-wushy down the stairsy-wairsy.
Nominee for Best Show at the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards, NextUp’s Biggest Award in Comedy and the Queer Performers Award at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, Sorry I Hurt Your Son (Said My Ex To My Mum) was also named one of the best reviewed shows of Edinburgh Fringe.
As seen on The Project and Piers Morgan Uncensored.
