Eddie Bannon was born in Dublin
but is now a favourite on both the comedy and corporate circuits
around the world. With his universal, confident & witty banter, Eddie
has engaged audiences from Manchester to Melbourne, from Holland to
Hong Kong and from Brussels to Botswana.
Highly in demand as a Master of
Ceremonies and a stand up comedian, Eddie has spent many years
improvising with the Dublin Comedy Improv team and written a
few plays. He has toured with the likes of Lenny Henry,
Ardal O Hanlon, Tommy Tiernan, Rich Hall and many
others. He has also played several sell-out tours of all the major
Festivals in Australia, as well as being one of the very few to have
performed at every Cat Laughs Festival in Kilkenny. In true
Irish style he has appeared at numerous other Festivals around the
world including Edinburgh where he debuted his first one-man play …Big
Fat Dog.
Sometimes referred to as 'one of
Ireland's most amiable and consistently enjoyable comics', Eddie is
also extremely funny and enjoys writing short stories.
