Barbara Carlyle Barbara Carlyle is a comedian that has been doing comedy for 40 years. She has also appeared on Apollo Comedy Hour, Def Jam, Comic View, and Comic Xscape. Her comedic skills are so carefully honed that she leaves audiences in stitches wherever she goes. But comedy hasn’t always been her only contribution to society. Carlyle did a short stint in the Marine Corps (cause she was looking for a few good men) and tried her hand at teaching for a short while. A stickler for detail, she can speed read an audience and know exactly where to take her jokes. Hecklers think twice about testing her skills cause this young lady takes no prisoners and die hard wannabes fall prey to her vicious tongue. Carlyle has performed in Germany, The Netherlands, England, the Virgin Islands (trying to be a born-again virgin) and other exotic places. Carlyle has one daughter and several baby daddies. You do the math. Her aim in life is to leave an indelible mark in the world of comedy. Preacher Man As an upcoming Comedian from the South, PREACHERMAN gives a new edge to comedy.
