Anyone
who has read our reviews of Jason Byrne know that both Geoff and myself
have been fans of his for years.
Since
my first encounter with him in Pleasance Two when he got me to fly a
kite!! I have just been knocked out by his performances.
Part
of my Jason survival kit consists of Clean Dry underwear, Painkillers
for the aching sides, tissues for the tears of laughter, and for me my
inhaler to hand as my asthma always kicks in and I laugh so hard I can
hardly catch my breath.
His
manic comedy usually leaves me exhausted and that’s just watching him
cover the stage. His little
boy and father both featured heavily this year and by the sounds of
things his he takes after his dad. So why does he keep asking how his
darling little boy behaves like the spawn of Satan?? Hey Jason try looking in a mirror!
Another
thing that amazes and delights me about Jason is his ability to remember
the whole show and simmer it down to a five-minute total recap at the
end.
This
is as usual another beg steal or borrow must get ticket. If
you could only see one show this fringe this should be one to consider.
