Domestic abuse isn’t funny, but this show is.
Trailblazing comedian James Barr is going on tour around the UK 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.
'Brave, funny and gloriously empowering.'
'Even in the uglier revelations he manages to make the audience laugh. A lot.'
