It is no secret that both Geoff and I really love going to see the very talented Ed Byrne perform stand-up. We have been enjoying his comedy since 1998 and just can not get enough, this is proven by the fact that not only did we go to Kirkcaldy in March to see his ‘Different Class’ tour but that we returned to see the same tour performed in Dunfermline’s Alhambra theatre on Saturday 7^th November.

We really enjoyed the show in March but it was all too obvious Ed has had time to polish an already brilliant show to almost sparkling perfection. Whether it is the time he has been able to spend on the material or the virtually sold out audience he faced in Dunfermline but he was certainly totally rocking the theatre. It was such a fabulous night and Ed seemed to be having as much fun as his audiences. Whether it was an almost new audience base or the place was packed with Byrne fans, but the appreciation of his humour was audible and almost palpable.

For us addicts, who need an Ed Byrne fix, Christmas will be easily catered for as his latest DVD ‘Different Class’ is released on the 23^rd November, pre-order at play.com now. The tour continues until December when he finishes by returning to Scotland, 2^nd at Perth Concert Hall and 3^rd at Dundee’s Caird Hall.

Ed Byrne may be in a ‘Different Class’ but everyone can enjoy him. This was yet another superb show at the recently refurbished Alhambra Theatre which is certainly going from strength to strength.
