FRESH from the Edinburgh Fringe and a slew of brand new five-star reviews and critical acclaim, one of the UK’s favourite TV household names, Ed Byrne, returns to Frome on the 28th September.
From the quote attributed to Mark Twain, humour is defined as Tragedy Plus Time. And here is a chance to join one of our leading laugh specialists as he tests that formula by mining the most tragic event in his life for laughs.
Having regularly performed in Frome before, Ed says, “Apart from the fact that no one seems to know how to pronounce the name of your town, I remember last time I was in Frome that I learnt, quite impressively, that Miss Moneypenny was from here.”
With his TV career now in its third decade, Ed has regularly appeared on the likes of QI; Mock The Week; Alan Davies As Yet Untitled; The Pilgrimage; Dara and Ed’s Road to Mandalay; Dara & Ed’s Big Adventure; The Graham Norton Show and Have I Got News For You, as well as hosting Live At The Apollo and Comic Relief Bake Off.
He was recently seen as a contestant on BBC One’s Celebrity Best Home Cook (where he made it to show five out of eight – not bad!) and he has also won (yes, won!) celebrity versions of both The Chase and Pointless!
Known for his passion for the outdoors (hill walking and mountaineering are major hobbies), Ed can be seen turning his presenting skills to factual broadcasting in BBC Two’s Volcano Live, World’s Most Dangerous Roads (where he spent two weeks driving through Siberia) and Into The Wild with Gordon Buchanan.
With legions of fans both in the UK and abroad, Ed remains the observational stand-up to see.
