Ed Byrne – Roaring Forties, Venue 150 @ EICC 9:20pm, until 25 Aug, £19.50/17.50
Combining personal experiences from the last two years with brilliant observations, Ed Byrne creates a relaxed atmosphere in the plush Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
He kicks things off by admitting the visual similarity between himself and shamed economist Vicky Pryce – laughter erupts within the auditorium and continues throughout his entertaining set.
Amid the many stories Byrne delves into, his hernia trauma and experiences with his own expanding family are highlights, the former being explored with surprising merriment.
The following video from Byrne’s previous show does contain strong language.
It is pretty much guaranteed that an Ed Byrne gig will be well-paced and amusing, with his latest offering no exception. This reassuring element linked to the comedian will hopefully see his return to the Fringe for many years to come.
