Angela Barnes, the hilarious star of Mock The Week and Live at The Apollo, is back with her brand new stand-up show, Angst.

Angela is a worrier. Whatever it is, she’ll worry about it. But don’t let that worry you – she’ll worry enough for the both of you.

This hilarious show has some stories of success and sound logic, but mostly features stories of unmitigated failure, a distinct lack of wisdom, a little bit of German, and loads of jokes.

Tickets on sale tomorrow at 11am!
