A satirical exploration examining the eccentricities of the collective British character through the universal language of eccentric dance, circus skills, classic song and variety skill routines, entwined with an original funky soundtrack and intimate comedy.

This duo have a totally fresh approach to the presentation of comedy classics, combined with a sensitive use of volunteers to comedic effect making the audience part of, not apart from, the show.

In the winter the show is available as ‘Jones and Barnard's Comedy Christmas Cavalcade’.  This seasonal variety show features spinning Christmas Puddings, a festive soundtrack and the usual amazing variety stunts.

We joyfully watched your wonderful set at Weston Park, Sheffield! You are excellent. I doubt that I will ever find the right event to book you myself, BUT you are really really good… Fantastic, fantastic fantastic!

‘Just wanted to drop you a line to say how fab Jones and Barnard were compering at our Saturday night closing concert. They got the tempo of the night just right and kept the audience engaged and entertained between bands which was great - particularly given that they had one 30 minute slot to fill while the stage was set. I do hope they enjoyed themselves with us.’
