Carl Barron (b. 1965?) is an Australian comedian. His style is based on observational humour. He was born in Longreach, Queensland and formerly worked as a roof tiler. Barron has released two DVDs, entitled "Carl Barron Live" and "Carl Barron: Whatever Comes Next". In 1993 he was voted Comic of the Year and Best Up and Coming Talent and has since made many TV appearances in commercials and on shows such as The Glass House and Rove Live. Barron made his first television appearance on the NRL Footy Show in 1997. One of his perpetual jokes is that several people have mistaken him for people such as musician Paul Kelly. He once famously stated "I reckon if Paul Kelly and Gandhi had a baby, I'd be it!". He commonly has sell-out shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
