Fifty years of stories and jokes.

An agile comic mind telling stories collected over a lifetime of working in the theatre, Radio, and Television. told as only Barry can. A must-listen for any who enjoys a well-told anecdote.

What's a rhetorical question?

The man who is behind so much of the comedy I've grown up with, a gregarious chap who knows everyone and a raconteur who has superb timing. How can this not be a tremendously entertaining book? That was rhetorical, it can't fail, it was great.
