Jason Byrne: 30 Years Byrning

If you have been following the comedy scene for a while, you might have noticed that Jason Byrne is marking a significant milestone this year. He is currently touring with a new stand-up show titled 30 Years Byrning, which looks back at his three decades in the industry. It is a bit of a retrospective, but rather than just telling old stories, the show incorporates a mix of his signature high-energy style, surreal tangents, and a fair amount of improvisation. He is also bringing back some of the props and tricks he used in his earlier years, which gives the performance a specific feel if you have seen his work before.

This is a national tour, so he is stopping in several cities across the UK throughout the latter half of 2026. For those of us based in Brighton, the show is scheduled for 26 September 2026 at The Old Market. Tickets for this date are priced at £30.00. If you happen to be travelling or have friends in other parts of the country, the tour continues into the autumn. He will be at the Redgrave Theatre in Bristol on 17 October (£31.30), the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield on 25 October (£32.00), the Cambridge Junction on 5 November (£35.00), and the ARC in Stockton-on-Tees on 19 November. It is worth noting that some of these venues may add booking fees on top of the base ticket price, so it is worth checking the specific venue website when you book.

Since the show relies heavily on audience interaction and a fairly fast-paced delivery, it is worth keeping in mind that there is a strict age restriction of 16+ for all these dates. It is a straightforward comedy set, focusing on his career longevity and his typical approach to live performance. Whether you are a long-time fan of his style or just looking for a comedy night out, the tour schedule is quite extensive, giving you a few options depending on where you are located.
