Barb’s work is compared with artists like Nathan Fielder, Napoleon Dynamite, and Mitch Hedgeberg. But you might say, she is just a mental patient with a microphone. 

Barb: I wrote the show as a way to challenge myself as an artist, and the show has shaped into a rebellion from traditional narratives. I am originally from the Midwest, and I fled to California when I turned 18. And the differences in these cultures have influenced the writing of Type 2 Fun.

Mostly, I see my work as being for people who feel oppressed by the ruling class and know that the system isn't going to change (sigh). But I offer a lot of unique ideas for finding autonomy in the current social and cultural structures. Which basically means, acting strategically within the system as a way to take control of your destiny. Even if that means getting ran over by a Tesla as a way to achieve housing security in San Francisco. “I may never walk again, but at least I don’t have to move.”- Barb 

The Creative team of Type 2 Fun includes Barb (writer/performer) 

Barb (writer, performer): I studied art and neuroscience in my academics. I currently have a thriving earring line @QueerdoSF. I have been a comedian and troll my entire life.

Janette French (Producer): A standup comedian and writer based in the Bay Area. She was crucial to making the show come to life.
