With his brand new show ‘We need to talk’, he’s guaranteed to put on a great night out for all, when he hits the stage this Friday night at Nelson Bay Diggers.

Quite often the phrase ‘we need to talk’ comes when we need to engage in serious conversation.

Arj believes ‘we need to talk’ about our interactions as humans, and there is a theme to parts of the show around technology and how the world has changed in the last 20 years as a result of the internet and our endless access to it
from smartphones.

“It’s a serious chat about humanity,” Barker explained. “About what we’re doing here and where we’re going, are we going in the right direction with technology – that sort of thing.”

“I’m quite happy with this one,” Barker said of the new show.

“I think as jokes go it’s some of my best writing and I think audiences to this show can expect better than ever Arj.”

“When I look back at my first DVD, Live [2006], to now I’m a much better performer and writer, more refined, so come along and catch me at my best,” he said.
