Jason Byrne

The Fringe just wouldn't be the same without our favourite angry Irishman. This year's offering is more hysterical rantings, more rubbish magic and the heart-warming wonderment of a hyperactive child. At times the energy seems to dip below his normal stratospheric levels, but Byrne always knows how to treat his audience to another dose of life-affirming offbeat madness.
