CARL BARRON LIVE Plays Bleecker Street Theater 4/2-24

Australia's most popular comedian, Carl Barron, will perform a limited run at the Bleecker Street Theatre from April 2 - 24, 2010 on Fridays at 8pm at Saturdays at 7pm. Tickets are available at www.Telecharge.com or (212) 239-6200 and at the Bleecker Street Theatre Box Office, located at 45 Bleecker Street.

Just returned from a tour of Canada, the self-professed love child of Moby and Gandhi, Carl Barron has been featured twice at Montreal's celebrated Just for Laughs festival, and headlined the Just For Laughs national tour - now he is ready for New York City. He's a legend in Australia, where his last DVD outsold Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy combined! Melbourne's The Age newspaper said "the audience was in a state of uncontrollable joy." And the L.A. Times called him "a gifted physical comic and monologist."

Funny noises, pulling faces, ripped pockets, accidentally spitting on someone during a conversation - Carl Barron manages to turn everyday absurdities into knee-thumping hilarity, and he's got the worldwide fan-base to prove it. The one-time roofing tiler from the Outback fell into comedy at a pub amateur night and has been knocking them dead in ever since.

Critics have raved: "Carl Barron of Australia was the highlight of the evening, with wry observations and hysterical bits on sneezing, burping, farting and just plain stuff." The Gazette, Montreal; "Barron's show is one asthmatic laugh after another. It's a marvel the packed audience had pause for breath, the lady next to me almost required medical assistance" Inpress, Melbourne, Barron is small and shy, his jokes clean and precise. The audience loves him." Harpers Magazine, "The star of the evening is Carl Barron, who has the audience in fits with his resonating observations of common experiences. With a deadpan expression breaking out into gleaming wickedness, this skinny Gandhi-like comedian turns the tables on the mundane, tackling everything from our reactions to stupid questions through to turds with footprints." The Scotsman, "Carl Barron is an awesome standup comedian...I had tears in my eyes..."" The Age, Melbourne, "Get ready to giggle yourself silly." Melbourne Weekly
