Jason Byrne announces Vicar St show

Dublin comic Jason Byrne's new show will premiere in Australia this spring, before making its way home to Vicar St in Dublin on May 21.

The darling of the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, Byrne was recently given his own radio show on BBC Radio 2. Don't fret though, he'll never leave these emerald shores. He told Hot Press last year: "I’m not bloody moving [to the UK], no way. I mean, I've been doing work over here for nearly 12 years now, but I’m too much of a homebody, I could never leave Ireland."

Phew...! Tickets for 'Cirque Du Byrne' go on sale tomorrow (Thursday January 27) priced €28.
