Barry Varkel worked successfully as MD of his own law firm for over ten years, before going off the rails and facing a tough life choice: either emulating the Ernest Hemingway wall-head-12 gauge shotgun manoeuvre, or taking an extended sabbatical abroad. His wife Chrissie begged him to get his gun licence and get on with the job, but he felt there was still a glimmer of opportunity remaining in being able to unleash considerable havoc upon his return into mainstream Cape Town society.
Back now in Cape Town after his world trip, unemployed and looking to do anything legal for cash (except for working in the wanker industry of advertising), you can catch him performing his new found love, which he’s pretty useless at, stand up comedy.
Barry will be hosting The Comedy Collection’s star studded line-up of deadbeat amateur Cape Town comic performers this Wednesday 10 March 2010 at Ragazzi, 1st floor, 33 Long Street, starting at 8.30pm.
Catch all the action or don’t. Either way you’ll be missing out on nothing!
