Ed Byrne: Different Class

Spending an hour with Ed Byrne is a lot like sipping on a pint of Guinness; it's relaxing, always hits the mark, and is of course, very Irish. Loosely based around being of a 'different class' (not quite working, not quite middle), Byrne takes his audience on a fast paced journey of laughter, taking in feminism and soda streams and throwing in some amazing one liners along the way. His brand of witty, wry observational humour is a delight to hear, and his charming mannerisms and bouncy energy a treat to watch. He may not be rich enough or poor enough to own a horse, but he is certainly funny enough to own an audience - fantastic fun from a Festival favourite.
