Get ready for a masterclass in comedy as Ed Byrne tests his brand-new 2027 show No Dramas, alongside the "rock ‘n’ roll star of British comedy," Rachel Fairburn. Witness Ed’s raw genius and Rachel’s razor-sharp Vexy Beasts characters in one incredible double-bill. See the "sausage being made" before the tours sell out!
I'll be heading out on tour in 2027 with a new show provisionally titled "No Dramas" but first I need to knock it into shape. That's where you come in.
If you're a comedy fan with an interest in how the sausage gets made then come and watch me perform a mixture of bits that can be described as "already funny", "nearly funny" and "definitely worth exploring" then by all means come along.
If you prefer the slick stuff, come see me next year
