Career
Before moving to London, Barron lived in New York. In 2009, her memoir People Are Unappealing received some media attention for a chapter detailing her encounters with obnoxious celebrities while working as a waitress.[2][3] She was one of the hosts of the storytelling show The Moth.[1]
In 2018, Barron's debut show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, For Worse, was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer Award.[4] She returned to the Fringe in 2019 with Enemies Closer, and in 2022 with Hard Feelings.[5]
Her television appearances have included Would I Lie to You?,[6] Richard Osman's House of Games,[7] Frankie Boyle's New World Order and Roast Battle. She appeared on Celebrity Mastermind in 2023.[8]
Barron co-hosted Firecrotch & Normcore, a podcast about the TV series Succession, with her husband Geoff Lloyd.[9] When Succession ended in 2023, they launched They Like To Watch, a more general podcast about television, at the suggestion of Succession producer Jesse Armstrong.[10][11]
In 2023, Barron starred in The Burger Files, a spoof true crime podcast written by Joel Morris for the fast food restaurant chain Wendy's.[12][13]
