Jordan Barr

LOL at First Sight

On Tour!

Jordan Barr is a stand-up comedian, broadcaster, writer, actor, singer, and musical theatre performer.

She is currently the co-host of Weekend Arvos on triple j with pal and fellow comedian Luka Muller.

Jordan can also speak German and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the reality TV show ‘Teen Mom 2’. What a show-off.

However, Jordan is often cast as an elderly person in musicals to disguise the fact she is not the best dancer. Guess you can’t be good at everything.

After graduating from her Musical Theatre degree at the Victoria College of Arts, Jordan started slinking her way through the Melbourne stand-up scene in 2018.

At the 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Jordan performed as part of the excellent Breast of the Fest all women line up show, and at the prestigious Upfront gala. Her debut stand-up show Zombie – which featured ruminations on doom-scrolling and singing like a baby lamb – ran for a sell-out season at the Butterfly Club. She followed this up Dreams, a masterful hour of stand-up and musical comedy about the future and Saturn Return lol, a hilarious investigate into the phenomena of major life changes occurring every 29.5 years in connection with this astrological event.

Jordan has supported comedians Hannah Gadsby and Catherine Cohen, performed as part of the Triple J Good Az Friday show at the Melbourne Town Hall, and has been a RAW Victorian State Finalist.

Jordan has written and performed in various theatre, musical, sketch and comedy shows including It’s Done (MICF 2016), Elevate the Musical (MICF 2017, Adelaide Fringe 2018) & The 2007 Wonthaggi Blue Light Disco which was nominated for Best Comedy at the 2018 Melbourne Fringe through her own production company ‘The Dizzy Biz’. She has appeared in several productions with the independent Melbourne theatre company Citizen Theatre and played Enid in the James Terry Collective production of Legally Blonde the Musical (2019).

Jordan is also an in-demand writer, participating in numerous development rooms and worked as a contributor on CJZ show Question Everything. She was short-listed for Screen Australia’s Smart For A Girl: ROAR initiative in 2017, and was a finalist for the 2018 Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission.
