Ed Byrne: Spoiler Alert

Photo: Roslyn Gaunt

Comedian Ed Byrne returns to the road this year with his biggest ever tour to date and his brand new show called Spoiler Alert.

He says: ‘I originally intended to call the show “I’ll Millennial You in a Minute”, but my promoter considered the title “off-puttingly baffling”. That’s my own chainsaw in the photo, by the way’. You can read more words from Ed in his interview with journalist Brian Donaldson.

In his new show, Ed explores the thin line between righteous complaining and brat-like whining and asks, ‘are we right to be fed up, or are we spoiled?’ Come and watch as Byrne takes this question, turns it upside down and shakes it until the funny falls out. Go on, spoil yourself.

Recognized as one of the finest observational comics in the industry, Ed’s television credits are countless (provided you’re really bad at counting), but include Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You, The Graham Norton Show, Live At The Apollo, and The One Show.
