Angela Barnes swapped a career in health and social care for stand-up in 2010 and hasn’t looked back.
Within just a couple of years she had won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2011 and toured around the country with her stand-up shows.
Angela has starred in BBC Two’s Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, House of Games, and Hypothetical on Dave. She is a firm favourite on BBC Radio 4, having featured on The Now Show and The News Quiz – including a stint as the host. She has also hosted BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Newsjack.
Angela co-hosts the less-than-serious popular podcast We Are History (Acast) with John O’Farrell. The two history nerds discuss, explain, and laugh at interesting and quirky episodes from the olden days.
Angela is a brilliant comic, down to earth and incredibly funny.
