Ed Byrne

7:15 pm on Thursday 10 Jul 25


Ed is a renowned comedian/presenter and actor. With his TV career now in its third decade, Ed has regularly appeared on the likes of QI, Mock The Week, Alan Davies As Yet Untitled, The Pilgrimage, Dara and Ed’s Road to Mandalay, Dara & Ed’s Big Adventure, The Graham Norton Show and Have I Got News For You, as well as hosting Live At The Apollo and Comic Relief Bake Off. He was recently seen as a contestant on BBC One’s Celebrity Best Home Cook (where he made it to show 5 out of 8 – not bad!) and he has also won (yes, won!) celebrity versions of both The Chase and Pointless!

Ed has spent much of the last couple of year touring his most personal show to date, taking the title from the quote attributed to Mark Twain: humour is defined as Tragedy Plus Time. The show was named the British Comedy Guide’s Best Comedy Show 2023.

With legions of fans both in the UK and abroad, Ed remains the observational stand-up to see.
