Biography

Barry Castagnola has been performing stand-up in the UK and internationally since the late Nineties – when he blagged his way onto the stage at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. He has appeared in the Channel 4 show Experimental and presented The YES/NO Gameshow on cable channel Bravo.

He is also one third of the spoof ecowarrior troupe Cyderdelic (alongside Marc Wootton and Liam Woodman), who made a six-part BBC Three series and made regular appearances on Channel 4's 11 O'Clock Show.

Saw this guy last week and he was sensational. Full of energy, great wiht the crowd. Not many' 'jokes' but somehow constantly funny. Brilliant!

Richard S, January 2009


Avoid. Saw him at South Streeet Comedy club, he lacked material and struggled to deliver what he had in an irritating "I walked into a pub right, and the thing about pubs is that you walk into a pub right and..." SPIT IT OUT MAN style!

Dave Rottweiler, April 2008


Only seen him once but seemed a real star to me. Witty, whacky, creative, he had a great audience rapport and an even greater laugh-count.

Michael Monkhouse, March 2008


He is a total natural, great adlibbing with the crowd with some very funny tales.

Joise, May 2005


He was fantastic. Made me laugh so hard, vodka came out of my nose. Fab!

Jen, February 2005


Very impressed at Enfield's 'Roar With Laughter'. In fact, he was the only comic who did make us roar! Very much my sort of comedian with a great deal of sick humour that no-one wants to use in sets, but when it is mentioned everyone empathises and subsequently pisses themselves.

Tombola, July 2004


I rate this lad very highly. Saw him at an otherwise weak night in Wimbledon and he shone. Stuff about hospitals and the like was excellent. Should go places.

PhilD, January 2004


One of the best up and coming stand ups I've seen in a long time.

Iain Watson, November 2003
