Carl Barron

Carl Barron is one of the country’s most loved stand up comics and one of very few on the live scene to receive such enormous kudos.

With a non-threatening observational style of comedy, and a gentle, awkward, and original approach, Carl touches the hearts of every audience. Consequently, he has headlined at every major comedy venue and Festival worldwide, and is highly sought after for corporate events and celebrations.

Carl’s first DVD release, Carl Barron Live won Best Menu Design at the Australian DVD Awards and is the highest selling stand-up comedy DVD in Australian retail history.

His second show, Whatever Comes Next won Best International Show at the N.Z. Comedy Festival. When it was released on DVD, it entered the Charts at Number One and stayed there for over 12 months. The DVD was also nominated for an ARIA award.

Carl Barron is the only person to have a top 20 selling DVD in the official GFK Charts three years in a row! And in 2005 & 2006 he had two DVDs in the top twenty – an astonishing achievement.
