Comedian Jason Byrne is marking 30 years on stage with a nationwide tour.

His latest show, 30 Years Byrning, will arrive in Brighton as part of the tour at The Old Market Theatre on September 26.

More information and tickets are available at jasonbyrne.ie.

Mr Byrne said: "Please join me to celebrate three Byrning decades of my unique comedy. A ram packed show, full of stunts and props, from the past and present.

"Audiences from the past and present too, which is simply the audience from the past coming back to the present. Brand new stand-up, which may include stories from the past. Do not miss this show, or you will not be present."

Known for his high-energy storytelling, rapid-fire improvisation and wild audience participation, Mr Byrne has built a reputation as one of comedy’s most unpredictable and entertaining live performers over the past three decades.

The tour follows a month-long run at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, with dates across the UK through to November.

Mr Byrne promises a night of comic mayhem.

Fans can expect the return of classic props and stunts from earlier shows, as well as new material and the spontaneous humour that has long defined his act.

Mr Byrne said: "I’ve been putting together a kind of celebration show but I’m not doing old stand-up because that never works."

Instead, he is inviting fans to request their favourite stunts from previous tours.

Some may see him reprise antics like swinging across the stage in his underwear on a wrecking ball, or his infamous musical sketches.

The Brighton show forms part of a wider UK tour that begins in Norwich on September 24 and concludes in Dunfermline on November 20.

Byrne’s blend of improvisation, audience interaction and physical comedy has earned him a loyal following over the years.
