As an observational stand up Ed Byrne is unrivalled. Notching two decades of standup with a Perrier nomination, multiple appearances on Conan and The Graham Norton Show and 2006’s biggest selling performance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Standing Up and Falling Down, the Irishman hit a new high in 2011 – a win for Best Supporting Actor at the Monaco International Festival of Non‐Violent Film, ‘probably the most obscure acting award in show business’. Since gaining infamy for his notorious slamming of Alanis Morissette and her hit single Ironic, Ed Byrne has transcended his controversial beginnings to become ‘comedy’s Holy Grail, selling out tours and residencies to far reaching audiences in the UK, France, Singapore and Bermuda. Renowned for his artisan‐like approach to observational standup, and ‘coming out’ as a nerd in the Crowd Pleaser DVD, Byrne proved he can physically deliver the gags with a gut‐punch funny turn as Billy Elliot in the BBC’s Let’s Dance For Comic Relief. Comedy Holy Grail! Go See! The Sunday Times Ed has performed hit UK tours and West End solo runs and developed huge success on the international circuit where he has performed to capacity audiences in Montreal (Just For Laughs festivals), Canada (Just For Laughs tours), Ireland, Paris, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Belgium and New Zealand. In the USA Ed has performed at the US Comedy Arts Festival (Aspen), plus top comedy clubs in New York and LA. “Hilarious…I assure you Ed Byrne is one comedian you should definitely see” Edinburgh Festival’s Magazine. To date his films include, RAT where he plays a supporting role of Rudolph, a cameo in I Could Never Be Your Woman, a co‐lead role in Are You Ready For Love a cameo role in Don’t Let Me Die With That Look (prod/writer Chris Purnell) and the lead role in Zemanovaload. Ed has also made some sparkling appearances on Mock The Week, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Graham Norton’s Bigger Picture, Have I Got News For You, The Graham Norton Show, The Bubble and Live At The Apollo. Recently Ed has broken into Factual broadcasting and has been seen on BBC Two’s Volcano Live (2012) VT presenting and also on BBC Two’s Dangerous Roads where he spent 2 weeks driving through Siberia! On top of all of this Ed performs stand up at a huge amount of corporate events (hosting awards show or after dinner stand up) and was well known as the voice of The Carphone Warehouse on both their radio and TV commercials (2001‐2008).

  • BBC Press & Publicity
    British Broadcasting Corporation BBC Worldwide Press Office Level 5, 6 Eden Park Drive, Macquarie Park NSW 2113 Monday March 26, 2012 UKTV ANNOUNCES A WEALTH OF AUSTRALIAN PREMIERES FOR 2012 GOING FOR GOLD, WE’LL TAKE MANHATTAN, ONE NIGHT, INSIDE MEN, FALCÓN AND NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS Australia’s UKTV today announces brand new premium drama and entertainment content for 2012 including Going for Gold, We’ll Take Manhattan, One Night, Inside Men, Falcón and the ultimate irreverent music quiz show Never Mind the Buzzcocks which has never before screened in Australia. Starring Doctor Who’s Matt Smith, Going for Gold (1 x 90) is the powerful and uplifting story of how two men from very different backgrounds triumphed against the odds, capturing Olympic Gold in the double sculling and embodying the battling spirit of the 1948 London games. This is the first of three dramas with a London theme. Set over one hot summer’s night when nerves are frayed and tensions ride high, One Night (4 x 50) follows four very ordinary, but very different people whose fates become intertwined by a seemingly trivial event…with far reaching consequences. It’s winter 1962, and the cockney photographer David Bailey and unknown model Jean Shrimpton (played by Doctor Who’s side kick Karen Gillan) are sent to New York for a prestigious Vogue photo shoot. The 90 minute drama, We’ll Take Manhattan tells the story of a wild week, their love affair, terrible fights with their fashion editor – and how two young people with no such intention happened to change the world of fashion forever.

  • Free, M. (2015) Don't Tell Me I'm Still...Pdf
    Pre-publication version. This is scheduled for publication in the journal Critical Studies in Television, Vol. 10, Summer 2015. It should be identical to the published version, but there may be minor adjustments (typographical errors etc.) prior to publication. Title: ‘Don’t tell me I’m still on that feckin’ island’: Migration, Masculinity, British Television and Irish Popular Culture in the Work of Graham Linehan Author: Marcus Free, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick – [email protected] Abstract The article examines how, through such means as interviews and DVD commentaries, television situation comedy writer Graham Linehan has discursively elaborated a distinctly migrant masculine identity as an Irish writer in London. It highlights his stress on how the working environment of British broadcasting and the tutelage of senior British broadcasters facilitated the satirical vision of Ireland in Father Ted. It focuses on the gendering of his narrative of becoming in London and how his suggestion of interplays between specific autobiographical details and his dramatic work have fuelled his public profile as a migrant Irish writer. Graham Linehan has written and co-written several situation comedies for British television, including Father Ted (with Arthur Mathews – Channel 4, 1995-98); Black Books (with Dylan Moran – Channel 4, 2000-2004 (first series only)); The IT Crowd (Channel 4, 2006- 13); and Count Arthur Strong (with Steve Delaney – BBC, 2013-15). Unusually, for a television writer, he has also developed a significant public profile in the UK and Ireland through his extensive interviews and uses of social media. Linehan migrated from Dublin to London in 1990 and his own account of his development as a writer stresses his formation through the intersection of Irish, British and American influences.
