Angela Barnes will be tickling Kilkenny crowd at Cat Laughs

Cat Laughs-bound Angela Barnes reckons she got some of her humour from her dad, who ran a sex shop in the UK, writes
Angela Barnes has come late to comedy but she’s catching up fast on lost time. Her father’s death in 2008 aged 60 convinced her to make the plunge. It was a case of carpe diem, realising that you’ve only one shot in life. She’d been working as a booker for comedy acts around Brighton so she decided to give it a go on stage herself, a year after his death, and already into her thirties.
