Hey you! Thanks for subscribing to my newsletter. First one! Isn\u2019t this exciting?<\/p>\n
So what have I been up to? It\u2019s been a busy couple of months. I\u2019ve been bouncing all over the country doing various comedy clubs doing a mix of old and new material. After a pretty long tour of a show that, as those of you who have seen it will know, was fairly emotional, it\u2019s been nice to get out and just do some bright and breezy sets again. I just have 2 more of those before the end of the year, Stratford upon Avon on the 11th and Dewesbury on the 12th, then I hang up my microphone for Christmas.<\/p>\n
I also popped up to Glasgow to record a comedians special off BBC\u2019s \u201cBridge of Lies<\/a>\u201d. Can\u2019t say how we did, but we did well! The most exciting part of the day was when I got to meet Athena from Gladiators which impressed my teenage sons no end.<\/p>\n I also recorded a couple of panel shows for Radio 4: Frank Skinner\u2019s \u201cOne Person Found This Helpful\u201d<\/a> and Chris McCausland\u2019s \u201cYou Heard it Here First\u201d<\/a> both of which were heaps of fun.<\/p>\n The big news is that by the time you read this, my latest stand up special, \u201cTragedy Plus Time<\/strong>\u201d will be available to stream on my website at edbyrne.com<\/a>. After touring it for over 18 months it\u2019s finally time to release it into the wild. It was recorded at London\u2019s Bloomsbury Theatre back in May and if you know anybody who might want to watch it, please steer them towards it.<\/p>\n The bad news is it\u2019s not free. The good news is, that means you can buy it for somebody for Christmas! And you can get it here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n I\u2019m working on making all of my previous stand up specials available on YouTube.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll be up on my Channel over the course of the next few months so you might want to give that a subscribe at youtube.com\/@mredbyrne<\/a>.<\/p>\n That\u2019s about it, professionally. I\u2019m working up new material for the next tour which will be happening from Jan 2027 onwards. Hopefully there won\u2019t be any material about family deaths in it but addressing the subject of having a cat put down is looking increasingly likely. Current subject matter I\u2019m looking at includes: Everybody\u2019s constant desire for feedback, the ever changing definition of the word \u201cwoke\u201d, and having to develop an interest in sports your kids play despite a hitherto lifelong aversion.<\/p>\n That\u2019s about it. Hope you\u2019re well. Are you watching Pluribus? It\u2019s good isn\u2019t it? I had a thought about it, though. Tell you what, I\u2019ll sign off and continue this thought below. I don\u2019t want to spoil it for people who aren\u2019t watching yet.<\/p>\n Right. One more thing. I\u2019m not really on Twitter\/X anymore. I do lurk around on Instagram<\/a> a bit. I\u2019ve never used Facebook except to cross post the stuff I put on Instagram. If you want to hit me up on social media your best bet at the moment is Bluesky<\/a>. I\u2019ll be there until the owner starts calling for race wars in the UK, then I\u2019ll probs jump ship from there as well. OK, cheers.<\/p>\n Ed<\/p>\n
