One of the most versatile comedy entertainers we handle, Barry York has certainly built up a reputation as the ideal act for almost any situation.

A stand up comedian, Barry began his professional career fronting a “showgroup” who incorporated comedy and music. Barry has worked as a solo artiste for 20 years and has concentrated purely on comedy for the past 10.

Barry works predominantly in the after dinner market where his clean, yet “cheeky” act, combined with his sharp wit are a match for all audiences, whether mixed, or all male. The sportsmans dinner environment, where he particularly excels, has seen Barry work alongside some of the biggest names on the circuit.

As a master of ceremonies, Barry is equally at home. His clear and easy to understand voice makes him an ideal corporate host, yet his wit and charm lend his style to more laid back events, where the audience may become a little restless! Recently Barry hosted the Caudwell Group Annual Awards Dinner to 2800 people. A daunting prospect to many, yet Barry was unfazed.

“We were very pleased with Barry’s performance. Our clients comprised a mixture of senior trade union officials and local MP’s. There were also a significant number of females in the audience. Barry was received very well and we were particularly pleased at his sensitive choice of material which included no racist humour or bad language. Barry produced a repertoire of politically correct but extremely humorous stand up comedy.” Mr J Mullen, Rowley Ashworth Solicitors
