Jason Byrne: Audience Precipitation
Overview: Jason Byrne is back for more comedy chaos, celebrating 25 years(!) of consecutive touring. Audience Precipitation is a brand-new fun, happy and joyful show from 'the outright king of live comedy' (The Times). Jason has learnt over the past few years that we all need to 'play' a bit more in our lives. With this in mind, Jason will do what he does best: connect with his audience in a way that no other comic can. Expect the Irish funnyman to invite - or drag, as it has been known in the past - people up onto the stage and make a "holy show of them", as they'd say in Ireland. Jason's Audience Precipitation tour will be a laugh-out-loud, must-see show with a light drizzle of audience participation... ooohhh, clever that!

Jason Byrne's Lost Tapes
Overview: During Lockdown, Jason Byrne discovered a live recording he had made in 2016 at Vicar St in Dublin. It was professionally recorded and upon delivery the hard drives had been mislaid. When it was rediscovered we immediately set about editing and finishing the show. And the final product is a wonderful example of the "Outright King of Live Comedy" on top of his game. It's also a fine reminder of what life was like before the pandemic. The show contains scenes of hugging, kissing, high fiving, dry riding, casual exchange of bodily fluids and a 1000 people packed into a room laughing their hoops off.

I Went Down
Overview: Fresh out of prison, Git rescues a former best friend (now living with Git's girlfriend) from a beating at the hands of loan sharks. He's now in trouble with the mob boss, Tom French, who sends Git to Cork with another debtor, Bunny Kelly, to find a guy named Frank Grogan, and take him to a man with a friendly face at a shack across a bog. It's a tougher assignment than it seems: Git's a novice, Bunny's prone to rash acts, Frank doesn't want to be found (and once he's found, he has no money), and maybe Tom's planning to murder Frank, which puts Git in a moral dilemma. Then, there's the long-ago disappearance of Sonny Mulligan. What's a decent and stand-up lad to do?
