Ed Byrne presents Tragedy Plus Time

Irish actor and comedian Ed Byrne returns with a brand-new tour, Tragedy Plus Time. Attributed to Mark Twain, humour is defined as Tragedy Plus Time. Come and join Ed as he tests that formula by mining the most tragic event in his life for laughs.

Born in County Dublin in 1972, Byrne found a talent in comedy during university in Glasgow, where he put on The Comedy Cellar, where he booked fellow aspiring comedians while developing his own observational style. In 1998 he was nominated for the Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe, where he would later return for many sell-out shows.

Byrne's popularity snowballed throughout the 00s, with shows such as Me Again, Standing Up, Falling Down and Warming Up in the Cold. He also recorded comedy specials including Pedantic and Whimsical, Crowd Pleaser and Roaring Forties. He's also appeared as a guest on the likes of Mock The Week and Never Mind The Buzzcocks (let's not mention getting a pie to the face from Robert Downing Jr. on The Graham Norton Show), plus acted shows and films from Father Ted to Are You Ready For Love?
