He’s a scary judge of people and knows what will have his audience in stitches the moment he sets eyes on them.

COMEDY STYLE

Barrett’s comedy is original and unlike any other comic. Though his genre is observational and impressionistic, he carves his humor differently from other artists in these genres, thanks to his unusually sharp wit and extraordinary intelligence.  He  serenades  the  crowd  with  his  crisp  narrative  and  takes  them  on  a  joyride  of  entertainment  and laughter they could never have imagined. He is one of the most versatile and flexible comedians and can adapt to any kind of crowd and event quite naturally.

Jacques  creates  laughter  by  weaving  interesting  characters  into  modern  social  life  and  presenting  the outcome through his strong narrative skills. He is in the same league with some of the famous national comedians as far as the  depth,  quality  and  ingenuity  of  his  humor  are  concerned.  Apart  from  the  event,  Jacques  can  also  adopt  to different media types without breaking a sweat. He’s as confident and funny on TV and radio as he is on stage. A standup  comedian right down  to  his  soul,  Jacques Barrett is  a rising  star  with  a  brilliant  future  ahead.  Book  him while you can still afford him!
