Barry Castagnola

Barry Castagnola is a British comedian, actor, writer, director and producer who has been performing stand-up since the late 1990s, when he first blagged his way onto the stage at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. He is known for his easy-going yet physical style, mixing personal anecdotes with sharp topical and political comment, and has headlined at major UK comedy clubs as well as appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Glastonbury and Reading Festival. His television credits include The Stand Up Show (BBC One), Live At The Comedy Store (Comedy Central), Experimental (Channel 4) and The YES/NO Gameshow (Bravo). He was also one third of the spoof ecowarrior troupe Cyderdelic alongside Marc Wootton and Liam Woodman, which spawned a BBC Three series.
