CloseAfter the massive success of his last show, Different Class, master of observational comedy and star of Mock The Week and Have I Got News For You, Ed Byrne is back with his new show Crowd Pleaser.
Exploring subjects and situations Ed finds frustratingly maddening Crowd Pleaser, is a hilarious insight into Ed’s life. Continuing his quest to turn into a grumpy old man, whether he is talking about his cat, cake, religion or potential fatherhood, Ed is always certain to deliver the laughs in abundance.
What the papers have said about Different Class
“..a masterful display of the comics art…This is a seamless and perfectly timed show that could stand proudly next to any Izzard, Bailey, Carr or Skinner stadium-filler.” ***** Sunday Times
“Byrne is at the top of his game” **** The Sunday Telegraph
“Ed Byrne is a class apart” **** London Evening Standard
“At the height of his powers… It’s no wonder this is selling out nightly” The Observer
“His wit won deafening cheers and feet stomping” The Guardian
“Jokes come so fast that hecklers don’t have a chance to get a word in edgeways” **** The Times
“It is rare for a comic to merit the word “masterful” but in this case it is no overstatement” The Scotsman
Expected Running time 2hrs with interval

According to Ed Byrnes website, he's playing Warwick Arts Centre on the 4th and the 5th (http://edbyrne.com/tour/) but I can only see the 4th advertised here .... ???

Hi, could you tell me if there is a minimum age for this show? Thanks

Hi Alan
Apologies for the delay in response - not sure how we missed your comment. Our website is correct - we have just the one gig for Ed Byrne (4th) - we have been in touch with Ed Byrne's company to ask that they remove the second date from their website.
Thanks for pointing it out and avoiding confusion for others!
Best wishes

Hi Sarah
As live performances do not operate in the same way as film does (with certificates etc), we do not impose a minimum age limit on events. However, in our experience, comedians are often more risqué live than they are on television and so all of our comedy events carry a warning that comedians can use very strong language and express controversial opinions.
Hope this helps.

Please could you let me know an estimated time that Ed Byrne will be finished on Friday? Thanks.

Hi Georgina
This is a very rough estimation - as I'm sure you can appreciate that we're never quite sure what a comedian is going to say (there is usually a fair amount of improvisation)- but we are anticipating that it should finish by about 10pm on Friday.
