A darkly hilarious reckoning with shame, survival and a pushy-wushy down the stairsy-wairsy.

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.

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.
