Ed Byrne has been on the Graham Norton show numerous times, he’s been on the late-night talk shows in America, he’s been on the Celebrity Chase…twice. And now he’s on my podcast. Very exciting for me…not so exciting for Ed!

At the time of recording this (August 2024) Ed is touring NZ with his show called “Tragedy plus time.”

A heartbreakingly hilarious show that deals with the death of his younger brother Paul.

Reviewers have been calling it the best work of Ed's 30-year career. We talk a lot about Paul, their relationship and processing grief with humor.

See him at a venue near you:

We discuss his very first tour of NZ way back in the late 1990s where he made nationwide news for trolling a barman- it’s a great story.

Why New Zealand holds a special place in his heart and why Oamaru got a completely different Ed Byrne show to every other venue.

His encounter with Robert Downey Junior when they shared the sofa on the Graham Norton show together and so much more.

I loved spending this quality time with Ed Byrne, and I hope you do to.
