Jason Byrne

Jason Byrne is, without doubt, one of the most exciting comedy performers currently working. Hailed by both the national press and public alike, as the ‘name’ to watch out for, he has been highlighted by both Industry and national press as 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, make his act a helter-skelter of a show – where the audience are promised the ride of their lives. Jason truly makes the stage his own when he performs – and undoubtedly never leaves without the audience shouting for an encore.

He has been one of the fastest selling performers at the last 6 Edinburgh Festivals, where his sell out shows have brought forth firstly a nomination for the 1998 Perrier Newcomer Award and then a much revered Perrier Award Nomination for his outstanding 2001 show. This year he was winner of the 2004 Forth One Fringe Award…

“If ever a show deserved more than 5 stars it is this one. Not only is it the funniest show on the Fringe, it’s the funniest show I’ve ever seen.” – Radio Forth One, Scotland.

With a growing international profile Jason has performed in New York, Boston, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brussels, Milan and Paris. He is now preparing for national tours around the UK and Ireland which will include his regular sell out shows at the 1100 capacity Vicar Street Theatre in Dublin.
