Ed Byrne: Tragedy Plus Time
16 February 2025 @ 7.30pm
About Ed Byrne: Tragedy Plus Time
From the quote attributed to Mark Twain, humour is defined as Tragedy Plus Time. Come and join Ed Byrne 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 Show at Edinburgh 2023’ (British Comedy Guide).
As seen as hosting Live At The Apollo and regular appearances on QI and Mock The Week (BBC).
What the critics say
“Hilarious, extremely dark, profoundly touching, and resolutely unsentimental. Ed Byrne has plumbed the very depths of his soul and found something verging on greatness.” ★★★★★
Rolling Stone
“This is no misery memoir, Byrne is too talented a comic for that.” ★★★★★
The Arts Desk
“Poignant, touching, spiky, and laugh-out-loud funny… beautifully written and flawlessly performed.” ★★★★★
