Catch Ed on tour in 2011 across the UK with his new show, Crowd Pleaser.

Tackling subjects as diverse as being a nerd, owning a cat, meeting your heroes, and potentially becoming a dad, Ed’s new show demonstrates just how funny a curmudgeonly man with a keen eye for detail and a sense of fairness can be.

You also won’t want to miss Ed’s support on this tour, the wonderful Irish comedian Karl Spain, whose credits include Karl Spain Wants a Woman, Karl Spain Wants to Rock, and Karl Spain is Willing to Spend a Lot of Time in a Car With Ed Byrne (not a real programme).

Kicking off in Tunbridge Wells on March 2nd, this first section of the tour finishes in Liverpool on May 29th, taking in a host of cities and towns across the UK in between. This promises to be a sparkling tour that you won’t want to miss.

You’ll find all the venues and dates for the first leg of the tour here, along with information on how to buy tickets.
