Culture Watch: Sorry I Hurt Your Son (Said My Ex to My Mum)
James Barr finds dark comedy in domestic abuse.
James Barr is taking his stand-up show on the road - touring the UK with "Sorry I Hurt Your Son (Said My Ex to My Mum)".
At the heart of this hour-long performance is a four-year relationship that left James questioning everything. His ex’s final words to his mother, written in a Christmas card - “Sorry I hurt your son” - became the title of a show that lays bare the complexities of queer domestic abuse, and finds the humour in it.
For our podcast, How To Date Men, we caught up with James Barr for a behind-the-scenes look at the show.
In the conversation, we talk trauma, healing through humour, and why audiences love dick jokes.
