Jason Byrne's Aldershot circus comedy show

November 03, 2011

Roll up, roll up as Edinburgh’s top-selling comedian Jason Byrne arrives at the Princes Hall, Aldershot, to hotwire your comedy funny bones with his brand new show Cirque du Byrne on Friday November 18 at 8pm.

Brought to you by the ringmaster of tomfoolery himself, Cirque du Byrne promises to be an anarchy-packed show of acrobatic proportions.

Encounter a deviously constructed comic spectacle, be tamed by on-stage farce and audience interaction, and gasp in awe at daring comic stunts as the definitive clown of comedy pushes his riotous show to the edge.

Speaking of the show, Jason said: “It seems loads of comedians are starting to wear suits and becoming really successful. I like to be a bit unique so I’ve splashed out on a ringmaster’s outfit for my new show and I’ll be going on tour to make the money back.”

Jason’s inspired, original brand of high-energy intelligent lunacy ensures there is no other comedian like him and his sell-out shows have attracted accolades including Chortle Award for Best Headliner 2007, Perrier Newcomer Award Nomination 1998 and Perrier Award Nomination 2001.

Most recently, Jason won the Sony Radio Gold Award for Best Comedy for his BBC Radio 2 sitcom The Jason Byrne Show.

Jason’s television credits include Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford (ITV1), hosting Dave’s One Night Stand (Dave) in Dublin, Live at the Apollo (BBC One), Marco’s Kitchen Burnout (ITV1), Up Close and Personal with Jason Byrne (RTE), Anonymous (RTE2) and The Byrne Ultimatum (RTE2).

In 2010 Jason also hosted two series of The Jason Byrne Show (BBC Radio 2), starred in two series of The Odd Half Hour (BBC Radio 4) and written and starred in Father Figure (BBC Radio 2), which will return for a series later this year.
