With his glory days long behind him, Barry scrapes by entertaining unimpressed audiences at dingy social clubs, while sharing a cramped bedsit with his elderly mother. Barry's troubles go deeper than bad gigs and fading fame—he’s drowning in gambling debt. His tormentor? Roger Kittyfeathers, a smug businessman-turned-loan shark with a grudge. Turns out Roger was humiliated live on Barry's show as a child, and he’s been nursing his vendetta ever since. Now, Roger’s got Barry on the ropes, demanding £5000 in a week or the bedsit goes. Desperate and out of options, Barry enters <em>Celebrity Deal or No Deal</em>. With no money and little dignity, Barry faces off against The Banker.&nbsp;Will Barry claw his way back to redemption—or will he leave the studio more humiliated than ever? Packed with heart, humor, and just a little existential dread, this is an <em>All Made Up Story</em> like you've never heard before!</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Wanna follow Charlie Lewis…</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/standupcharlie/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/standupcharlie/</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Wanna follow Harry Stachini…</strong></p><p><strong>Insta: @Harrystandup</strong></p><p><strong>FB: @Harrystachinicomedian</strong></p><p><strong>YouTube: @Harrystachini</strong></p><p><strong>Twitter: @Hstachini</strong></p><p><strong>The Staff Room Podcast</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Wanna follow Lewis Coleman…</strong></p><p><strong>Insta: @lewiscoleman</strong></p><p><strong>Twitter: @LewisColeman93</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Wanna follow Ben Hart…</strong></p><p><strong>Insta: @benhartcomedy</strong></p><p><strong>FB: @benhartactor</strong></p><p><strong>Twitter: @benhart0592</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p><strong>Recorded by Lewis Coleman</strong></p><p><strong>Edited by Clementine Bogg-Hargroves&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>Produced by @GetGiddier</strong></p><p><strong>Artwork by Elliot @melodyleeart&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>Soundtrack by @grahammccusker</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>#NewPodcast #ComedyPodcast #bbc #celeb #Fantasy</strong></p>","author_name":"Get Giddier"}
