Don’t miss Ed Byrne’s much-acclaimed latest standup show, Tragedy Plus Time, at The Everyman!
From the quote 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.
Edinburgh Fringe 2023 was a bumper 5-star review year for Ed. They came in thick and fast alongside outstanding critical acclaim for this exceptionally funny, “Best-reviewed stand-up comic … at Edinburgh 2023” (British Comedy Guide).
As seen as Hosting Live at The Apollo and regular appearances on QI and Mock the Week (BBC).
