Ed Byrne: Roaring Forties

From Fig Leaves to Final Judgment…

The Good Book Just Got Better!

It’s apocalypse now as the three cultural guerrillas of The Reduced Shakespeare Company set their reductive sites on the good book with The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged). Can bolts of lightning be far behind?

Whether you are Catholic or Atheist, Muslim or Jew, Protestant or Purple People Eater, you will be tickled by the RSC’s romp through old time religion.

Remember… Someone is watching.

A self-confessed “miserable old git” since the age of 23, Ed Byrne is now in his Forties. Come join him, as he truly comes of age and gives out his clarion cry: “I am in my Forties. HEAR ME ROAR!” “Comedy’s holy grail.... Go see!” ¬¬¬The Sunday Times “Byrne is at the top of his game” ¬¬¬The Sunday Telegraph “Jokes come so fast that hecklers don’t have a chance to get a word in edgeways” ¬¬¬The Times Strictly no latecomers admitted.
