Please welcome to the stage … Eliza Barr!

ENTERTAINMENT:

How does The Bug keep unearthing all this fresh and emerging standup talent?

Well, it’s not easy but you’ve just got to keep a keen lookout. Which is how we discovered an amazing prospect in young Eliza Barr, a News Corp journalist who just happens to work in the Sutherland Shire, Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s home turf.

The Bug this week stumbled across a little Twitter war that Eliza was having – largely with herself but that’s not important right now – about the difference between a couple of Pentecostal churches in Sydney and which one our happy-clapping PM belonged to.

Why? We have no fucking idea but her material was hilarious, so we approached Eliza and she agreed to perform it live at a local licensed venue we booked on her behalf.

Apart from a few lines we suggested about entry to a Hillsong event, almost the entire set is all her own work, believe it or not.
