Jason Byrne is one of the geniuses of the comedy circuit. Presenter of RTE's hit show Anonymous and one of the Edinburgh Fringe's most in demand comics, it's on the stage he really shines as stories expand and take unexpected but brilliant comic turns, in fact the only thing guaranteed is a cracking night's entertainment!
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 10 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. He was also winner of the 2004 Forth One Fringe Award and continues to play to packed houses throughout Ireland & the UK including regular sell out shows at the 1000 capacity Vicar Street Theatre in Dublin.
With a growing 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.
