Don't Get Carried Away by Roy Barker at The Butterfly Club
 

June 10-14 at The Butterfly Club, Don't Get Carried Away by Roy barker debuts before touring. Get tickets at Eventbrite or thebutterflyclub.com.

From the time he danced out of his mother’s womb, Roy Barker wanted to be a performer. But life, and bullies, kept getting in the way. Growing up in a brutally tough neighbourhood, Roy survived broken bones, cuts and bruises, by learning how to be invisible—not ideal when you want to be a star. In Roy’s debut solo show, he takes you on a whirlwind ride through the comedic highs and moving lows of following his dream.

From Shakespeare to rap, and everything in between, Roy discovers at the age of 50 that it’s never too late to get carried away.

Written by and starring Roy Barker
Directed by Clare Pickering

Produced by Dead in the Desert Media & Spencer Productions 2025

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
