The Southport Comedy Festival in association with Halliwell Jones BMW has announced the first big name that will be performing at this year’s Festival!
King of the Southport Comedy Festival and ‘Outright King of Comedy’ Jason Byrne returns for a 9th year with a brand-new show The Ironic Bionic Man.
The popular annual event takes place from 29th September to 15th October 2023 under canvas at Victoria Park.
Southport Comedy Festival Director Brendan Riley said:
“We are delighted that Jason is coming back for another year.
“Jason has built up a huge following with our festival goers and his shows sell out every year. “Jason loves playing Southport and It is one of our favourite nights of the festival. Expect comedy chaos, no two shows are ever the same“.
Jason will be performing on Saturday 7th October 2023 Tickets go on sale from the Southport Comedy Festival website on Thursday 16th February 2023.
Courtesy of Elite Marquees this year’s festival will be staged once again in a giant luxury heated and seated marquee in Victoria Park, home of the world-renowned Southport Flower Show.
The 2022 event saw big names including Al Murray, Milton Jones, Jo Caulfield, Reginald D Hunter, and Ed Byrne.
The festival team is busy programming this year’s event with more names to be announced over the next few weeks and months.
People are being asked to keep an eye on the Southport Comedy Festival website, their social media pages and local and regional press for big announcements and acts signed up to take part.
About the show: Jason Byrne The Ironic Bionic Man
We can rebuild him! Jason is, officially Bionic, “ironically” of course, as Jason, the accident-prone, general unfortunate gobshite (to no want of his own) is now, half man, half machine.
Born with a cock eye (then straightened), his lung collapsed (it was blown back up and sealed with metal pins), appendix removed, cartilage replaced in his knee from a poo-on-the-loo accident, arm dislocated by a wave, heart now functioning on six stents.
Don’t miss THE IRONIC BIONIC MAN as he brings us through his one-man, half-machine show. It’s painfully hilarious.
