You very rarely meet other Barrys. Are there any other Barrys here tonight?
A woman?
A lady Barry?
OK, well, let's riddle this.
So, you've never been here before.
Were you just drawn by the fact that a Barry was emceeing?
You're like, I've got to see this.
Are you a really cool Barry?
You are a Barry?
You are a Barry from Wales, yeah?
Every part of the Union has a Barry.
I'm the English Barry.
This is the Welsh Barry.
The Scottish Barry isn't allowed out of Scotland.
Hang on, there's a Barry Island in Wales.
Is that where you live? Is this your estate?
That's what you get your name from?
You thought it would be funny?
All right, well, we need to know your back history for it to be funny.
Do you think everybody here is stalking you?
It's just like, this is going to make everyone...
So, hang on.
Don't bring your own jokes to a comedy club.
It's like going to a laundrette with your own done laundry.
It's like, I'm good, I'm good, I've got this.
So, hang on.
Your name isn't Barry?
No, it's not.
Okay, fine.
To be honest, that's the weirdest kind of interjection that anybody...
Any other Barrys?
Imagine everyone just went, yeah, I'm called Barry.
What's your real name, Simon?
So, okay.
So, let's just...
You know what, I'm going to ask you a few more questions
just to see whether you're a threat.
Right?
That's all, that's all, that's all.
So, hang on.
So, your name isn't Barry, it's...
Larry.
Oh, Christ, okay.
You might be a threat.
Are you her carer?
How do you guys know each other?
Is this a date that's taken a serious left turn?
Date release.
Date release?
Okay, yeah.
You know what?
I'm not going to talk to you much more, but...
So, how do you know Harry or whatever her name is?
It's Erica.
Thank you very much for...
Thank you very much.
And is she going to be dangerous at any point?
Is that...
You're kind of worried.
How long...
What's your name, sir?
Ross.
Thank you very much.
It's that easy, right?
Is that his name?
All right.
Okay.
And...
And, Ross, are you a couple?
You've been together a while?
Half a year.
And how did you meet, Ross?
Ten years ago.
A party ten years ago, and you've been together for six months.
I've got a feeling she's been stalking you for nine and a half years.
I've got a feeling that might be happening.
All right.
Well, anyway, nice to meet you, but I'm going to talk to some other people.
Because I really fully...
Actually, you know what?
One thing I will find out is, Ross, what do you do for a living?
Because you look like...
Basically, you look like you've got a kind of real job.
You have that kind of look of a...
Did you hear that?
I don't know if you heard it.
An aerial engineer.
Right?
Now...
Sorry?
An aerial?
An aerial erector.
And that's why we're together, says Harry.
Okay.
Well, your feet are on the ground now, so we're safe.
So you erect the kind of 5G aerials.
Is that what you do?
A little bit of that and a bit of that.
A little bit of that.
You know what?
I love the way you suddenly become a geezer.
A little bit of that.
Listen, any kind of aerial.
You've got me.
I'll do that.
I'll ******* do your washing up.
I'll do your laundry as well.
That kind of aerial.
I don't care.
Any kind of aerial.
There's a...
All right.
I love the way you became really London there, Ross.
Like, no, I'm actually a geezer.
Don't worry about it.
I do love that accent, by the way.
The London accent.
All right, how are you doing?
Because you do expect a man's man with that accent, don't you?
Although you don't necessarily expect a man with that accent to have a feminine side.
You wouldn't expect that man to go,
All right, my name's Dave.
Something you should know about me, all right?
I ******* love Pilates.
Seriously.
Fill my core.
I was out the other night.
Some dickhead stole my aura.
What's that about?
Right?
But I'm...
So I'm from Dorset, which is the opposite of a man's accent.
Like, I don't even know what...
The Dorset accent is this.
Hello there.
How are you doing?
You're right.
Right?
And I lost that accent when I was about 16,
because I realised at some point,
I was going to want to have sex.
With a human!
Like, because...
It's just not...
You know, like, when you hear that accent,
your associations are, like...
I mean, it's the hobbit accent to begin with,
but, like, you just don't imagine anyone clever having that accent.
The sad thing.
Like, if you go to the doctor,
and the doctor's like,
Oh, hello there.
Oh, come on in.
Take a seat.
Everybody's brain goes,
Oh, am I at the vet?
And that's why I lost that accent.
I mean, the thing is,
you were taking the mickey out of all the Harry names,
and you're right to do that,
because I kind of want to get rid of the Barry name,
because the Barry name is itself terrible.
Like, how many women ever slept with a Barry?
Sorry, your mum.
Somebody else shouted,
My mum.
Your mum has slept with a Barry.
There's...
Is your dad a Barry?
Your dad's a Barry.
Wow, that's great that a Barry is procreated.
Sorry?
That's what he did.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was what I was insinuating.
That's great.
We got there eventually.
And what name did they give you?
What was that?
Hannah Cicely?
Wow.
Is that where you were conceived in Cicely?
Is that the...
Cicely's your gran?
Alright, is everybody on crack?
I know.
Listen, we sat you with the crack hats.
There you go.
Anyway, Hannah Cicely.
Is Cicely your middle name?
So your full name is Hannah Cicely?
And have you been to Cicely?
Fuck it.
Not even curious.
I've been to the Cilly Isles.
That's enough, innit?
Sounds similar.
That's fine.
Alright, well, you know what?
I'm loving everyone that I'm talking to,
but I'm a little bit scared, to be fair.
I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen.
But yeah, I was saying, the Barry.
Because Barry is...
I'm having to date at the moment, right?
Now, by cheer.
How many people have been on the apps by cheer?
Now that is a lie.
Way more people.
Not right now,
but in the past.
How many people, at some point,
since they've come up,
like Tinder, whatever,
has been on one of the apps by cheer?
Yeah, that's all of you.
And the silent sadness
that everybody else has also been on the apps.
But the problem is,
I've got to put my own name.
The name Barry just doesn't suggest...
You know, the apps are all about your future, aren't they?
What you hope for your future.
Nobody hopes for Barry in their future.
No, you say, ah, but it's true.
You know, like, where are the Barrys?
It would be good if my name was Harry.
That's so close to Barry.
But it's a much better name, isn't it?
And you know that,
because culturally, where are the Harrys?
There's Prince Harry.
He's a cool prince.
He's been walked out of that weird royal family
into Hollywood, isn't he?
There's the film Dirty Harry.
And you know just from the name of that film,
that's a cool film about a cool person.
But a film called Dirty Barry...
That's not a cool film, is it?
Is it?
That is a Netflix documentary.
Crucially, that you don't want to be in.
Like, nobody wants to be in...
Like, when Barry met Sally...
That's a short film about dogging.
Listen...
Have you googled your own name?
And what's your full name?
Wow, that's a fantastic name.
Is there another one?
There's a lot of them.
Eleni...
So, are you Greek?
Thank you.
I'm from immigration.
No.
Yeah, we work by smell now.
Right?
Sorry.
Anyway, Greek.
So, that sounded way more...
And you know what?
That wasn't...
That wasn't meant to be the burn
that you guys made it, alright?
But I'm so sorry.
You know, I'm going to think back
to that moment tomorrow and go...
I'm so sorry.
Fuck off.
Anyway, right, so...
So, but who are the other...
Who's the first...
In Google, who's the first...
Eleni...
What's your last name?
Eleni...
Postolito.
Yeah.
And...
Fuck off!
Spell it.
What kind of...
What was that?
Fucking spell it.
It's aggressive.
Are you talking to her?
Because that's a terrible...
Spell your own ******* name.
Hang on.
What's your name, Mr. Giza,
that's suddenly...
What's your name?
Oh, now you're ******* quiet.
Smik.
Yeah, go on.
Smik.
Hey, Smik.
Smik.
S-M-I-T-H.
What?
What the **** is everyone smoking?
So, hang on.
The smoke...
This isn't dry ice.
This is crack smog, is it?
What did you say?
Your name is...
Smith.
Why is it the Matrix?
You can't just be...
Be called Smith.
What's your...
What's your name?
I'm Smith.
Any other names?
Just Smith.
You would make a shit spy.
Pick a name.
Well, in England, they're all called Smith.
I'd be called Smith.
The only name.
So, you can't be called Smith-Smith.
Like a Smith-Smith.
I create Smiths.
Thanks, mate.
That joke's for you.
What's your full name?
What Smith?
Steve.
Steve Smith.
There you go.
We got there in the end, Steve Smith.
That's all right.
And I'll tell you what.
There are loads of other Steve Smiths out there.
Who's the most well-known Steve Smith?
Me.
Other than this acid casualty, right?
Who's the other Steve Smith?
You don't know?
There must be...
I mean, you know what?
Cricketer.
The Australian cricketer.
There you go.
Even Ross has googled your name.
Looking for other potential partners, no doubt.
Right?
But...
Do you ever find that you sometimes get three words into a sentence
and your brain goes,
I wonder how this is going to end.
Do you have that?
Have you ever had the thing where you're...
This happened to me the other day.
I was telling somebody my opinion on a thing
and I got halfway through and my brain went,
This is not my opinion.
It's just something I'd heard on a podcast.
And at some point my brain was like,
Yeah, we'll have that opinion.
Fuck it, we'll just put it in there.
Right?
And I was telling this in an animated way.
And do you know how stupid the thing was?
The opinion that I was apparently really into,
really believed in,
I was talking about Batman.
I care about Batman.
Right?
That Batman was the best superhero.
Right?
You think...
Right?
Okay.
Alright.
So I was saying that and as I was saying that,
I was like, I do not believe in that.
And I passionately do not believe that he is.
Because what people say about Batman, right?
Is they go,
No, he's the best superhero.
Because he's just a regular guy fighting crime.
He's got no...
Yeah.
No, he's not a regular guy.
He's the billionaire Bruce Wayne.
Being a billionaire is the best superpower you can have.
If I wake up tomorrow with a superpower of flight,
I fly myself to work.
Right?
If I wake up tomorrow with a billion dollars,
I fly my jet over work, bombing work,
on my way to Spain.
Like Batman, right?
He's basically a nerd that thinks he's going to solve
everyone else's problems by buying himself cool shit.
Like he's bat the bill, bat this,
with never, and he never spends one bat cent
on the real cause of Gotham's crimes,
which are fundamentally economic.
Right?
I'm sorry, right?
But if your employment options are a clown,
whether it's the Joker or Ronald McDonald,
let's be fair,
your life is fucked, right?
And I'm sorry, right?
You give me a billion dollars,
not only can I solve crime in Gotham,
I can turn a profit, right?
What you do is you go to the most run-down,
crime-filled neighbourhood, right?
You open an artisanal bakery,
an escape room,
like a kombucha brewery,
and you let the hipsters drive those criminals out.
It's called gentrification, Bruce, right?
You would have learned that in business school
if you weren't too busy dressing in tights
and punching the mentally ill.
Yeah, and I'm glad your parents are dead.
Fuck it, I said it, yeah.
Who takes an eight-year-old to an opera?
Cunts, that's who.
Yeah.
Fucking hell.
Controversial opinions,
that's what you're hearing here.
Sorry, I was triggered,
I don't know what happened.
Halfway through saying it,
I was like, that's not my opinion either,
but **** it.
I stuck to it,
and that's the main thing.
No.
And sleep, right?
But thank you for attempting to join in,
but we'll chat afterwards.
But yeah, you went like that.
No.
That was great,
but you know, you need therapy.
