Book Ida Barr

Cabaret Comedian

Ida Barr is one of Christopher Green’s very entertaining characters who is a Star of Artificial Hip Hop a new Radio 4 comedy series. Ida is a former music hall star who has embraced rap music with style. She talks about her life in multi-cultural London and performs her raps and RnB whilst shaking her arthritic bustled booty. A mixture of razor sharp character stand up and hilarious numbers.

Cabaret Comedian Ida Barr reflects the culturally diverse landscape of the London’s East End, where she has been living in retirement for several decades. She lives in Thabo Mbeki Court, shops at Lidl, has a warden called Mrs. Gupta, and a friend called Maude Edwardes (an elderly male impersonator with a shady past). She’s an inner city pensioner in multi-cultural post-new Labour Britain; her glory days are behind her but her creativity is still flowering.

Ida has released several albums, Artificial Hip Hop and Slipped Disco. Her latest is called “Get Old Or Die Tryin’”. Ida is the star of her very own film which you can see on the multi-media page. You’ll be thrilled!
