Irish oddball Jason Byrne, the biggest ever selling Edinburgh Fringe artist, brings his fringe show Jason Byrne 2010 to London with a week-long run at the Leicester Square Theatre. The blond Dubliner - not to be confused with Ed Byrne, an entirely different kettle of fish - is known for his energetic intelligent lunacy and often uses audience participation, placing his victims in embarrassing and oppressive situations (so beware if you take a front seat). This show is said to celebrate Byrne's love of even numbers while the madcap showman delves into zany experiences from his own childhood while discussing his own children, relaying the misfortunes of being on holiday and falling back on to hard photographic evidence. "An hour of stand-up so joyous the clinically depressed should get it on prescription," said Metro of the former Perrier nominiee's Edinburgh show last year, The Byrne Supremacy. You'll be pleased to know there's also The Byrne Identity (a DVD) and The Byrne Ultimatum (a panelshow on Irish TV).About Leicester Square Theatre
In 2002 this compact, 350 seater opened with Taboo, Boy George's musical trawl through Thatcher's 80s and his own turbulent career, a production that ran for well over a year. The Leicester Square Theatre seems to have succeeded in carving out a niche for itself amongst the many grand Edwardian playhouses and cavernous auditoriums of London's Theatreland.
