Monologue. 17 minutes in one. Has a hard time working up to a response from the audience. Has a rather indifferent style, and acceptable that way by the audience. Made up with a couple of good parody songs. His monologue on the umbrella got some laughs. Mr. Barnes needs some new material, and a little ginger in his work. Went fair.
