'Painfully accurate and hilariously hopeless - a definitive 80's Stand-up comedy period drama - pain is funny and so is this ...' Helen Lederer
1981: it's the early days of alternative comedy and Barry is right in the thick of it with Harriet, the love of his life.
In the hilarious follow-up to Stand Up, Barry Goldman, Barry still wants to be a comedian but comedy has other ideas - which is how he ends up as a trainee journalist on the Rotherham Times.
Comedy careers forward without him, soon he is further from his dream of stand-up stardom than ever.
He throws himself into the world of journalism and the arms of fellow trainee Sharon but continues to be lured by the glamour of fame and fortune. What's it to be? Fighter for the truth or the glory of the love of the crowd?
Sooner or later he'll have to choose.
Stand Up, Barry Goldman
