Ed Byrne at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2008

[yourmum739]

i think he got a better reaction to the joke he starts at 3:15, at Live at The Apollo

[BLESSINGISNOTACRIME1]

the intro is michael mcintyre

[3eneboy]

i cudnt find stchupid in the dictionary =[

and thah picters are colerful xD

[IrishJV]

What is it about stand-up comedy that people get pissed off when they perform the same material quite often?

Why is this ONE medium being treated differently? You don't get it with anything else... not with music anyway.

If Snow Patrol went on Jonathan Ross and performed their new single, people wouldn't go, "Oh for fucks sake! I already heard this on their album! Will you play "Come on Eileen""? :P

[godie666]

my dictionary doesn't have pictures you moron XD

[squishy3000]

"£1700 for invites. ARE YOU HIGH?!" XD

[cill1020]

im not the one who had to look up stupid in the dictionary..... and my dictionary doesnt have pictures lmao

[19nimrod93]

Yes it is. Comedians repeat jokes.

[royalhabbo25]

No its not. Byrne didna appear on Roadshow

[dragokight23]

@royalhabbo25

most of the jokes he said was on live at the apollo

[Acidburndemon]

lol funny as hell.

[DaveAlmighty3000]

I remember seeing his show at the fringe. Was hilarious, but the one I saw it was just his stand-up show, not quite sure why michael mcintyre is introducing him in this one - no video.

[abeautifulworld12]

It's ripped from a radio 4 programme broadcast last year called '4 at the fringe' and that was hosted by Michael. (Similar to 4 Stands Up and how Chris Addison hosted the latest series)

[Randiriel01]

I agree with Dara O'Briain's number one rule of stand-up. Never talk about marriage- it alienates under 21's and bores over 50's.

[blu3j4yw4y]

I don't agree - I'm 15 and I find it just as funny as anything else

[PhantomUmbie123]

okaysees! i get it

[hellonoyesyoko]

micheal mcintyre at the start?

[mhrby1985]

[vitrix69]

[PhantomUmbie123]

omgosh! it does sound like michael mcintyre! ed and michael are both on mock the week

[SingularSuperNinja]

That's cos it is him.

[squishy3000]

"I can't believe how happy I was the first time you said that!" XD I <3 Ed Byrne

[Harriet123P]

"Are you doing that?!"

Funniest thing! I love Ed Byrne :D

[purplepayne]

[lavraiemusicienne]

[Cybaria]

Woooo

Earthquake

I felt that xD

[wizardmanninja]

Is that McIntyre introducing him?

[19nimrod93]

Yes. He was the host of a radio show called "4at the Fringe". I think there were 2 "4 at the Fringe" show, but I'm not sure.

[Aylviana]

@wizardmanninja hell yeah!

[caosangel4]

[justanotherrandom432]

"£1700? That's enough to pay for a flight back to planet earth from wherever you live, invite man!"

I lolled. =D

[karrado4]

he was brilliant at the fringe!

[Aiike]

great post!

[youpick4me]

I love this guy!

[padraic2001eire]

When the hell is Ed Byrne gonna write some new material? That dictionary joke is funny, but he's been using it for friggin' years now.

[0ShadowedWings0]

He had a lot of new stuff in this one as well though.

[88blackened88]

he has a whole new show written

[mongoosemabel]

A lot of the time comedians have to use old jokes to get to new ones - use the things that work when they work, there's no problem with that, surely. Like you say, it's still funny.

[HowlieThePointless]

He has an amsuing rant about that on the pedantic and whimsicle DVD
