Back by popular demand with his side splitting show, one of Ireland’s Top Comedians, Jason Byrne

One of the most exciting comedy performers and hailed by both the national press and public alike, Jason Byrne is the ‘must see’ comedian for the new Millennium.

Jason’s inspired, original brand of high-energy lunacy ensures that there is no other comedian presently like him. His fast, free-wheeling style, fused with an array of offbeat props, makes his act a helter-skelter of a show – where the audience are promised the ride of their lives. He has been one of the fastest selling performers at the last 11 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals, where his sell out shows have attracted Best Headliner Chortle Award in 2007, a nomination for 1998 Perrier Newcomer Award, and then a much revered Perrier Award Nomination for his outstanding 2001 show. He was also winner for the 2004 Forth One Fringe Award and continues to play to packed houses through Ireland & the UK. At this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2009), Jason became the top selling comic ever in the history of the Festival.

With a strong international profile, Jason has performed in New York, Boston, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brussels, Milan and Paris and is currently preparing for more national tours around the UK and Ireland.
