Jason Byrne: Audience Precipitation

Jason Byrne is back for more comedy chaos, celebrating 25 years(!) of consecutive touring. Audience Precipitation is a brand-new fun, happy and joyful show from 'the outright king of live comedy' (The Times). Jason has learnt over the past few years that we all need to 'play' a bit more in our lives. With this in mind, Jason will do what he does best: connect with his audience in a way that no other comic can. Expect the Irish funnyman to invite - or drag, as it has been known in the past - people up onto the stage and make a "holy show of them", as they'd say in Ireland. Jason's Audience Precipitation tour will be a laugh-out-loud, must-see show with a light drizzle of audience participation... ooohhh, clever that!
