The laconic Irish wit returns the city of his student days for a very
special, one-off festival gig.
Ever since he first took to the stage in a Glasgow pub basement,
Ed Byrne has been building up a reputation as one of the UK’s top
observational comics. Rising steadily up the circuit throughout the last
decade, Ed’s brand of acute social satire and sharp eye for the madness
of everyday life quickly made him the hottest property in stand-up.
A legend of the Edinburgh Festival, Ed Byrne’s
kill-for-a-ticket solo shows have garnered a constellation’s-worth of
five star reviews since his one-man debut in 1996. Ten years later and
he was as in-demand as ever, with his 2006 show the biggest selling
comedy event of the Fringe. His is a talent that’s not just appreciated
on home soil- his appearances across the globe at festivals in Adelaide,
Melbourne and Montreal have been met with equal acclaim and led to five
prestigious appearances on NBC’s Late Night With Conan O’Brian.
Always a popular panellist, Ed’s recent TV and radio credits have
included Mock The Week, 8 Out Of 10 Cats and RTE’s The
Panel and Just For Laughs. 2007 saw the long-overdue release
of his debut DVD Ed Byrne-Pedantic and Whimsical, a comedic
greatest hits featuring all the best bits from his ten years of
stand-up.
Unrivalled as a live stand-up, expect the clamour for tickets to Ed
Byrne’s Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival appearance to be
as loud as ever.
