Barb Joseph (Australia)
After five years of ‘retirement’ (changing nappies and wiping snotty faces) Barb Joseph returned to comedy in 2005, making it to the finals of Comedy Knockout’s Search for a Funnybone. Barb’s past credits include sketch writer and performer by night and academic by day. She’s currently back on the stand-up circuit, performing and writing again. 2006 sees Barb debut her solo stand-up show, So I Married an Arab in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival .
