YOUR MC BaRRY DODDS
Barry Dodds is your MC for the night – a naturally funny, quick-witted Geordie whose charm and daft stories have made him a club favourite across the UK.
If you’ve heard him on the Parapod or seen him live, you’ll know exactly why he’s one of the best comperes in the business. He’s warm, sharp, and always in control – until the chaos takes over.
Barry is a Patreon Creator, comedian, gamer, ghost hunter, minister, Erasure super fan, occasional boxer, a presenter of The Parapod and the co-star in 'The ParaPod Movie', along with Parapod co-presenter Ian Boldsworth.
Barry has been serving up his chunky comedy soup since he was 21. He’s been a finalist in comedy competitions such as Jimmy Carr’s Comedy Idol & Jongleurs Last Laugh Comedy Search and supported comedians like Jason Manford on his UK tour.
He’s won the odd award along the way too! He recently picked up the Best MC trophy for the third year in a row at the Midlands Comedy Awards 2017. Jasper Carrott even called him “Very Impressive” once.
Testimonials:
“Hugely enjoyable…a ton of great stories…one to watch” The Guardian
“Razor sharp humour” Metro
“…winning friends with his energy and spirit…” Chortle
“One of comedy’s original thinkers” Dominic Holland
