BORED, bored, bored. Angela Barnes is resoundingly fed up of the news agenda.
Anyone who has caught the comedian during her regular appearances on topical TV and radio show will already know how weary she is of headline news.
Bored of Brexit, tired of Trump and knackered by North Korea, she’s pretty sure the world is going to hell in a handcart and, as a natural pessimist, she’s fed up of commentating on it all as it happens.
Followin gsell-out Fringe shows in 2014, 2015 and 2017, Barnes will be back for Fringe 2018 with her brand new show, Rose Tinted.
The show asks whether a renowned pessimist can really find it in herself to accentuate the positive, to look on the bright side and pop on her rose-tinted specs to make the bad stuff go away?
Or is she better off confronting the horrible stuff and laughing in its ugly face?
An hour of stand-up and stories from a woman who is just trying to live her life and wouldn’t mind a taste of that ignorant bliss she’s heard so much about.
