Loved the video! Hope to get to Branson again. We last saw you at Glen Campbell’s theater in Oct. 1996 and my husband, Dick, was a “Sucret” during the show. Also, we had dinner w/you and Holly and Bill McClay! Do you ever perform in Calif.?

Hi Joyce and Dick, nice to hear from you. Since I’m scheduled in Branson most of the year, I don’t get too many opportunities to go West… or East or North or South. Ha! If you get back to Branson I hope you can come see our show at the Hamner Barber Theater. Best always, Jim

Jim Barber grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota and has entertained professionally for over 30 years.
Even though he has performed with a variety of original puppet characters throughout his career, the Barber & Seville has been the act that defined Jim's creativity in comedy and remains an integral routine in his shows today.
Jim invented the concept and design of the character in 1983 while attending the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
His performances have taken him around the world as a headliner in comedy clubs, colleges, cruise ships and theaters. He now co-owns and co-stars in his own venue in Branson, Missouri where he performs most of the year.
