A self-confessed "miserable old git" since the age of 23, Ed Byrne is now in his 40s. While for others this might result in a crisis that prompts the purchase of a sports car, Ed embraces middle age with open arms.
Come join him, as he truly comes of ageand gives out his clarion cry: "I am in my forties. HEAR ME ROAR!"
Following on from the successes of his last shows Crowd Pleaser and Different Class, brilliant Irish stand-up comedian, Ed Byrne, is back at the NZ International Comedy Festival for the first time since 2009; with his hugely successful solo show Roaring Forties.
However happily Ed slides into middle age, he isn't ready for the slippers and woolly jumper quite yet. Still as angry as he ever was, you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of his withering rants.
Family life (now a father of two), and everyday frustrations all come in for a pasting with typically hilarious results as Ed casts his curmudgeonly comic eye over his life.
