TYPE 2 FUN is an original and irreverent standup comedy special that is back for one weekend only, after debuting to sold out audiences in the 2023 San Francisco Fringe Festival. A self-described “mental patient with a microphone”, Barb uses cringe comedy to deliver uncomfortable truths that navigate through the beauty, complexity and frustration of life itself. Living under Capitalism. Living with the Patriarchy. Living as Queer.
Barb speaks to the modern disaffected millennial trash, using her acerbic wit to game the capitalist system we are all stuck in. She is a feminist who thinks the #metoo movement failed women because it didn’t embolden sexuality. And her appearance permits her entry into a gay men's bath house, which she elaborates about in detail. Barb’s insights are for the disillusioned she’s, they’s, and all the bozos in between
The show is written and performed by Barb, a bay area writer, visual artist, and provocateur. Barb says, “We live in a society where the few control the many but there are ways for the many to game the system too. For instance, I plan on getting ran over by a Tesla to achieve housing security in San Francisco. Because after a lawsuit and some major surgeries, I’ll have enough money to buy my own studio apartment. I may never walk again, but at least I don’t have to move!”

Reviews of Type 2 Fun:
“Utterly hilarious. Whoever let this person out of the mental hospital did all of us a favor. This show ruined my day because the rest of it fell flat compared to this hour. Go see it before Barb “retires”. -Patrick
Hilarious, irreverent and full of surprises. Barb was somehow completely shocking and entirely relatable at the exact same time. -Bree
So, so funny. Barb is a very sharp character that shines a bright light on the absurdities of bay area living (and modern living in general). You never know what she’s gonna say next. A smart, relatable show with a ton of heart and a charming lack of pretension.-Michael
