“The Byrne Identity” Out November 21st

One of the most exciting Irish comedy performers, Jason Byrne releases his brand new DVD The Byrne Identity on November 21st. Recorded at Dublin’s Vicar Street Theatre, the DVD features over 2 hours of material including bonus material of Jason’s Edinburgh Festival Show.

Jason’s inspired, original brand of high-energy lunacy ensures that there is no other comedian presently like him. The Byrne Identity sees Jason at his finest, with his fast, freewheeling style, fused with an array of offbeat props, making “The Byrne Identity” a helter-skelter show not to be missed.

This year Jason became the top selling comic ever in the history of the Edinburgh Festival. His sell out shows have attracted Best Headliner Chortle Award in 2007, a nomination for 1998 Perrier Newcomer Award, and then a much revered Perrier Award Nomination for his outstanding 2001 show. He was also winner for the 2004 Forth One Fringe Award and continues to play to packed houses through Ireland & the UK.

With a strong international profile, Jason has performed in New York, Boston, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brussels, Milan and Paris and is currently preparing for more national tours around the UK and Ireland.

Jason is about to begin recording the fourth series of his hit television series ‘Anonymous’. Other credits included RTE ‘Class Clowns’, ‘The Jason Byrne Show’, ‘Elvis Has Left The Building’ (BBC NI), ‘Out On A Limb’ (BBC3), ‘Jason Byrne is Twiggy No Branch’ (Channel 4), ‘Dark Ages’ (ITV), ‘Stuck In The Middle’ (BBC), ‘Father Ted’, ‘Stop The World’ (BBC) and ‘Lenny Henry in Pieces’ (main writer, BBC). He has also appeared in several films including ‘Alice in Wonderland’ (Alongside Whoopi Goldberg, Martin Short and Gene Wilder).
