Barrett is a favourite of comedy clubs and festivals in Australia and has been on the comedy circuit for twenty years. Lately, he has been on a world tour, including the UK, South-east Asia, Eastern Europe and South Africa. He is much revered for his quick thinking and rapid, merciless delivery and his ability to riff on a contemporary narrative; his skill in weaving topical material into his act, coupled with impeccable timing, has made him a sought-after MC and first feature act. He also uses characterisation and performance skills which can result in some poignancy, leaving the audiences thinking as well as laughing after the show is over. Highlighting his charming stage persona, Jimeoin has previously said of him:
“The man is a Championi!”
And, Daniel Sloss says that Barrett is:
“Effortlessly hilariously, joyously dark…”
