Jason Byrne: Shy Pigs With Wigs, Hidden In The Twigs
Friday 7 March

Old Fruitmarket
£13/ £11 conc
Tickets: 0141 353 8000
The crazed Duracell Bunny of the comedy world is back in Glasgow for
one night only.
The biggest selling comedian of the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe, to
describe Jason Byrne’s stand-up as incendiary, freewheeling and
unhinged would be polite understatement. Regularly whipping up crowds of
thousands into hysteria with the mere sight of him folding a baby’s
bootee, the loveable Irish mentalist is the outright king of improvised
comedy. His inspired, original brand of high-energy lunacy ensures that
there is no other comedian like him.
Jason has cropped up on your TV in the likes of Father Ted,
Channel 5’s The Comedy Store and his RTE one-man specials
The Jason Byrne Show and Jason Byrne Can’t Stand, but to
really experience the magic you have to see him in the flesh. Those who
have seen him know that the unexpected is the only thing to expect,
whilst those who haven’t have no excuse.
Jason Byrne is simply one of the greatest exponents
of live comedy working today. He will rip you apart like a tornado. But
in a funny way.

Press Quotes
‘Watching Jason Byrne on stage is like watching Ronaldinho play for
Barcelona. It’s not a matter of if the magic will come, but when and how
often. He’s effortlessly masterful. If you leave disappointed from this
show, don’t ever bother going to see comedy again.’ Edinburgh
