James Barr: Sorry I Hurt Your Son (Said My Ex To My Mum) is a brave and deeply personal stand-up hour that tackles a heavy subject with surprising humour. Barr blends sharp wit with honest storytelling, creating a show that moves between confronting and genuinely funny without ever losing its heart. It’s an important, necessary piece of work that feels both vulnerable and empowering, offering moments of laughter alongside a story that stays with you long after the show ends.
