Angela Barnes : Fortitude, Pleasance, Edinburgh Fringe

Barnes delivers an enjoyable hour of observational stand up, in a chatty style that makes everyone feel comfortable.  There's a lot about her personal life, especially her decision not to have kids, and a running theme about her love for nuclear fallout bunkers and  fascination with the Cold War.  While not overtly political, the horrors of both Trump and Brexit are each treated to an excellent punchline.

Open, accessible, well paced and very funny, Barnes is a safe pair of hands who delivers the laughs.  Recommended.
