MC
John Colleary presents Jason Byrne, with support from Colum
McDonnell
Bomber
jackets and Germans beware- he’s back!
One of the most daring and original comedians around Jason
is a Craic favourite. Currently lighting up our TV
screens with his hit show Anonymous
on RTE 2, Jason simply excels at stand up and is most at
home on the stage. He has been one of the fastest
selling performers at the last 6 Edinburgh Festivals, where
his sell out shows have brought forth firstly a nomination
for the 1998 Perrier Newcomer Award and then a much revered
Perrier Award Nomination for his outstanding 2001 show. In
2004 he was winner of the Forth One Fringe Award. His
fast, free-wheeling style is inspired lunacy, and his
helter-skelter of a show promises the audience the ride of
your life, or your money back!
“Part
Spike Milligan, part Duracell Bunny, Byrne’s roller
coaster of improv and sketches run on a subtle combination
of comic genius and raw energy. Jason Byrne is a truly
unique experience, and quite simply one of
Ireland
’s finest and most daring comedians. Unmissable.”
THE
EVENING HERALD
One
of our most popular supports of 2005, Colum
McDonnell, the “wee” man from
Dundalk
, is back. A self-confessed walking bundle of
immaturity and childish energy, Colum’s material reflects
an inner child screaming to get out … and he invariably
does, once this man takes to the stage.A
finalist in the 2002 BBC newcomers and the channel 4
"so you think your funny?" competitions, Colum has
gone on to play all the major clubs in Ireland and to
support both Joe Rooney and Colin Murphy in Vicar St.
Often mistaken for one of the hobbits in Lord of the Rings,
his tales of magpies, trains, and DIY kennels will leave you
laughing your little pants off!
