Barry Neal & Friends

Barry’s beginnings were unusual. After graduating from Northwestern University and completing a successful run in the famous Mee-Ow Show (who’s celebrity members have included Julia Louis Dreyfus, Dermot Mulroney, George Newborn, Craig Bierko, Seth Meyers, and Ana Gasteyer), his brother dared him to go onstage at an open mic to do a routine. Barry was a hit that night, and knew that stand-up comedy was his next mountain to climb.However, stand-up comedy is not a skill that is learned overnight, and for the next year Barry played every hole in the wall club he could and performed for more drunks and characters than in the famous bar scene from Star Wars. Barry’s style is clean, high energy, and relationship material was a hit in almost every market.He quickly moved up the comedy ladder and was on cable and network tv, from MTV, NBC, Comedy Central, and VH-1.His latest DRY BAR SPECIAL, Lawyer Up has over half a million views. For Barry, it has been a long road to the top, and he is still striving every day to get better.His show is not just a series of jokes, but a show that is self contained and one that will leave the audience feeling great knowing they saw someone that has worked hard to make his show great and has crafted the set to make sure everyone leaves with a smile.
