Together, Amy Barnes and Jerry Miner are Barnes & Miner. Married in 2002, they now share a stage all over the country performing their unique brand of tag team comedy. They began with a theater show, “The Funnymooners,” to rave reviews in Oklahoma and then opened the new Sideshow theater in Tempe, AZ with “Barnes & Miner: Let the Little Things Go,” which opened to sold out crowds and was extended to 5 weeks.
Amy and Jerry recently relocated from Los Angeles to the Pacific Northwest because grandparents are more valuable than sunshine! They have a five-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son who enjoy traveling with mom and dad.
Amy Barnes started her stand-up career in Seattle, Washington where she quickly gained a reputation for smart accessible comedy. A few years later she picked up a guitar and added original songs to the mix which landed her a plum spot in the New Faces Show at the Montreal Comedy Festival. With rave reviews in hand she appeared on Premium Blend and Comic Remix on Comedy Central followed by a recurring role on the National Lampoon network. As a writer, she has written for Bonnie Hunt (The Bonnie Hunt Show, ABC), Jack Black (School of Rock), and many more. You can visit Amy's website at www.amyisfunny.com
