Review date: 2008-11-10 Rating: 10 out of 10
I had heard of Ed Byrne after watching him on many comedy TV shows such as "Mock the Week" and "Never Mind the Buzzcocks". I have to say I found this hilarious. If you are a fan of other outstanding comedians such as Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Alan Davies you will probably like this as well. A definate must see.

Magnificent Review date: 2008-11-07 Rating: 10 out of 10Like a lot of people I, 1st sore Ed Byrne on Mock the week. I then sore this DVD and got my brother to get it for me last Christmas. I foolishly wasn't excepting it to be good. I was very happy to be proven wrong. I love the part about sleeping this is because it is so true. BRILLIANTReview date: 2008-08-05 Rating: 10 out of 10Ed is the most perceptive witty guy out...
Absolutely hilarious - He talks about things from a normal walk of life so we can all relate.
Love this guy - I also recently met him and he was funny & polite - just like he is on tv.
My absolute favourite :)
12, 13 years??? Its about time!!!!!Review date: 2008-03-23 Rating: 10 out of 10This dvd has been 12, 13 years in the making, so its not before time that ed byrne has finally got round to making what essentially amounts to a 'best of' dvd. This dvd basically showcases all the best of ed's award winning routines - his alanis morrisette routine for example?
The wonderful thing about ed is the fact that soooooooo many of his routines can be said off-by-heart coz theyr sooooooo memorable! I cant count the number of times that ive used the term "occasional smoker" in everyday conversation with mates, or the number of times ive done "the full-body-jerk-awake" lol!!!! The other nice thing is that ed on the dvd seems like a genuinely nice guy - which, btw, he is (As i can testify after having drank with him after his gig in Glasgow). He is lovely! Women want to jump on him and never let go, and men wanna have a drink with him!
This dvd also has some pretty cool extras - an interview with dara O' briain, and a commentary/ aka heckle-fest from eds mates Andrew Maxwell, Brendon Burns, Glenn Wool,and his brother Paul Byrne.
This dvd is a masterclass in well written stand up routines; and eds observations are soooooooooooooooo freakishly accurate too. I defy anyone to watch the sleep routine and not think ' yeh man, ive done that!'.
Anyways, buy this dvd. Its fabby, eds a cool guy, hes hot, and the material is genuinely funny! Long may he continue with the good work, and produce another dvd soon with even more fantastic material.

It is fair to say I was over the moon whem I learned of the DVD's release. Ed is a fantastic stand up certainly one of my favorites a very true commedian with enough of short punchs and a few longer gags to keep me smiling throughout. Well worth its cost a few times over buy it today and hope for another DVD tour soon!
