Ed Byrne is unrivalled as an
observational stand up. His material may come from everyday life -
mobile phones, nicknames, relationships and the like - but his skill
at identifying the absurdity within the subject and applying his
eloquent wit is anything but commonplace. Unlike others on the
circuit, Byrne doesn't fall back on any concept of Irish charm. With
his material, he doesn't have to.
If you haven't seen him for a while,
you might find he's a little more vitriolic than in the past, but the
insouciance is still around and about. A regular performer in places
as diverse as Dubai, Dublin and Singapore, he certainly has plenty of
experiences to consider, but whether he'll hone his remarks into a
22-carat one-liner or set off into a grade A rant all depends on how
he's feeling on the night.
Byrne has performed six total sell-out Edinburgh Festival runs
(including 2004) and three sell-out UK tours. He has also developed
huge success on the international circuit where he has performed to
capacity audiences in Canada, France, Australia, New Zealand and USA.
After making his TV acting debut on the sitcom phenomenon, Father
Ted , Ed has since garnered a raft of major broadcast credits ,
including five US appearances on Late Night With Conan O'Brien
(NBC). But like all great comedians whose first passion was - and ever
shall be - he saves his best stuff for the stage.
'Tickets for his shows are like gold dust ... Truly a master of the
art of comedy' List
'In complete rapport with his capacity audience' Scotsman
'He is given a tumultuous welcome. By the end of the night heady
anticipation has turned into something close to rapture.' Time Out
