Arts, Comedy, Performing Arts, Personal Journals, Podcasting, Society & Culture, TV & Film

Multi-award-winning comedian and UK radio host James Barr joins Brett, Tim & Nige on JOY Breakfast for a hilarious and deeply candid chat. From his viral showdowns with Piers Morgan to his hit podcast A Gay and A NonGay, James opens up about his critically acclaimed show Sorry I Hurt Your Son (Said My Ex to My Mum)—a darkly comic take on surviving domestic violence as a gay man. We dive into Pride season antics, Grindr escapades in Australia, and why laughter can be the ultimate act of reclaiming power. Plus, glitter bush reveals, Melbourne comedy dates, and the surprising connection between stand-up and gaslighting. Buckle up for laughs, tears, and queer solidarity!
