Ed Byrne has been one of the most reliable heavy hitters in British and Irish stand-up for more than two decades. A familiar face from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, QI and countless panel shows, Ed has built a reputation for brilliantly structured stand-up that mixes sharp observations with warm, self-aware storytelling. His recent tour “Tragedy Plus Time” — a deeply personal show about family, loss and finding humour in difficult places — earned widespread praise and sold out theatres across the UK and Ireland.

On stage, Ed is effortlessly engaging, with that rare ability to move from big, punchy laughs to more thoughtful moments without ever losing the room. His comedy is smart, relatable and packed with perfectly crafted jokes about modern life, ageing, and the small absurdities we all recognise. A seasoned pro and a fantastic Sunday night headliner.
