'Barry And His Guitar'
"Barry and his Guitar" is a musical in which actor,
comedian and musician Bragi Árnason plays all the
roles by himself. Barry is also the author. He loosely
bases the characters on people and events that he came
across while living in London for eight years. So it’s all
about Barry and his guitar. In English. One night only!
