Jason Byrne is... The Ironic Bionic Man

2024

Jason Byrne, half man, half natural disaster. Over the course of his accident-prone life Jason has been rebuilt from the ground up. Bits removed, metal pins, new knee, and an eye that’s been treated, over the years, by the medical profession like a game of Pong. This all culminated last year with heart surgery, twice! He enjoyed it so much he went back for more. Join the most gifted live comedian on the planet as he invites you to laugh at his misfortune. If he tried to say Schadenfreude, he’d probably dislocate his tongue.

Jason Byrne: Audience Precipitation

2022

Jason Byrne is back for more comedy chaos, celebrating 25 years(!) of consecutive touring. Audience Precipitation is a brand-new fun, happy and joyful show from 'the outright king of live comedy' (The Times). Jason has learnt over the past few years that we all need to 'play' a bit more in our lives. With this in mind, Jason will do what he does best: connect with his audience in a way that no other comic can. Expect the Irish funnyman to invite - or drag, as it has been known in the past - people up onto the stage and make a "holy show of them", as they'd say in Ireland. Jason's Audience Precipitation tour will be a laugh-out-loud, must-see show with a light drizzle of audience participation... ooohhh, clever that!

Jason Byrne's Lost Tapes

2020

During Lockdown, Jason Byrne discovered a live recording he had made in 2016 at Vicar St in Dublin. It was professionally recorded and upon delivery the hard drives had been mislaid. When it was rediscovered we immediately set about editing and finishing the show. And the final product is a wonderful example of the "Outright King of Live Comedy" on top of his game. It's also a fine reminder of what life was like before the pandemic. The show contains scenes of hugging, kissing, high fiving, dry riding, casual exchange of bodily fluids and a 1000 people packed into a room laughing their hoops off.
