Jason Byrne marks three decades of comedy with his stand-up show '30 Years Byrning', bringing back the props and stunts of his earlier work.
Jason Byrne is coming to The Fire Station on Wednesday 18 November, with a new show called 30 Years Byrning that marks three decades of stand-up. It's a bit of a milestone title, and the set does exactly what it says on the tin: it looks back over thirty years of comedy.
Byrne has built a reputation as a festival favourite, and that's the energy he's bringing to Sunderland. The show leans on the things he's known for — high-energy storytelling, surreal tangents that wander off in their own direction, and plenty of audience interaction. If you've seen him before, you'll recognise the format: he doesn't just stand there and tell jokes; he works the room, and the people in it usually end up playing a part. The props and stunts that defined his earlier work are back too, so it's not just a stand-up set in the traditional sense.
The night is presented by Phil McIntyre Live Ltd by arrangement of Lisa Thomas Management. One thing to keep in mind before you book: the show is strictly for audiences aged 16 and over, so it's not one for the younger ones.
