Unblocked: Comedian Jason Byrne Has Been Given Both A Medical & Psychological New Lease Of Life & Is To Appear @ The Old Market Brighton

Comedian Jason Byrne - who brings his new show to The Old Market, Hove, this October - has not only had his heart unblocked and been given a new lease of life, but his whole career has been unblocked too! 

The constipation of Covid has been cleared, live entertainment has been colonically irrigated and readied up for us all. 

The bans from social media platforms have been lifted and Jason is back dishing up platters of fun. 

Join Jason live on stage as he unleashes what he does best:

"I'm unblocked and ready to go! My arteries are unblocked, I've been unblocked from TikTok and other social media, my brain is flowing at full capacity and I'm finally ready to unleash the full potential that is Jason Byrne."


Byrne's very own brand of organised chaos and near legendary stock-in-trade audience participation has seen him coined "the outright king of live comedy" by The Times. 

It is no surprise that he is the biggest selling comedian at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where Unblocked will run at the Underbelly, McEwan Hall from 3rd - 28th August.

In 2018, he published The Accidental Adventures of Onion O'Brien, a series of books about a young boy growing up in Ireland who has constant bad luck. The book is based on Byrne's childhood.
