Manic Dublin comic Jason Byrne comes to the Roisin Dubh next Wednesday, 13 January with fellow Dubs Eric Lalor and Paddy Courtney as support. Jason's inspired, original brand of high-energy lunacy ensures that there is no other comedian currently like him. His fast, free-wheeling style, fused with an array of offbeat props, makes his act a helter-skelter of a show, where the audience are promised the ride of their lives.

He has been one of the fastest selling performers at the last 13 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals, where his sell out shows have attracted Best Headliner Chortle Award in 2007, a nomination for 1998 Perrier Newcomer Award, and then a much revered Perrier Award Nomination for his outstanding 2001 show. He was also winner for the 2004 Forth One Fringe Award and continues to play to packed houses throughout Ireland and the UK.

Past work includes Father Ted, The General, Alice in Wonderland, Class Clowns ... He's also hosted the hit TV show Anonymous for four series on RTE, has had two series on BBC Radio 2 with The Jason Byrne Show (which is currently running) and a brand new TV series for RTE called The Byrne Ultimatum, which will air in September 2009.

First seen on Des Bishop's 'Joy in da hood' TV series, Eric Lalor has gone on to headline many of the top clubs in the country and has set up his own very successful club in Ballymun called 'House of Fun', with fellow 'Joy in the hood' stars Willa and Dean.

MC for the evening is regular visitor to the West and resident Laughter Lounge MC Paddy Courtney.

Doors 8.30pm and show starts at 9pm. Tickets (€15/€10) are available for booking now from Róisín Dubh, Zhivago Shop Street or www.roisindubh.net.
