Carl Barron is undoubtedly one of Australia's fastest rising comedy stars and to underline this, he was invited to appear in the 1998 Edinburgh Comedy Festival. A true honour.
Carl's non threatening observational style of comedy appeals to a broad audience. Carl's comedy has been described as gentle, awkward, self conscious, relaxed and quirky.
