Ed Byrne Arts Theatre, until Sun 14 March The funniest thing about Ed Byrne is that he makes no apologies to those his wrath-filled observational comedy is aimed at. Relentlessly attacking anyone who has upset him or just simply picking on those who are different to him, Byrne masterfully delivers his brand of vitriolic hilarity in such a manner that's so cheerfully over the top, you're going to have to leave your conscience at the door before entering if you want to laugh without guilt. Followed around the stage by the constant waft of cigarette smoke, his main topic of abhorrence is a recent ex-girlfriend. From here he'll lament the buying of furniture with her which includes bathroom scales (where he debates scales Vs a mirror), before moving onto the difficulty of new relationships from hereon and the incompetency of tradespeople, airport staff and dental hygienists, and not forgetting his fear of "sleepwanking" on public transport, all with perfect segue and exact timing. Ed Byrne may be one of the newest faces on the world's Fringe circuit, but that doesn't mean he's not among the best comedians you're likely to see. |
