- From the Edinburgh Fringe Festival,
it's SetList: Stand-up Without a Net!
With comedians from around the world
creating stand-up comedy out of thin air,
on the spot, under pressure,
and without any preparation whatsoever.
Ladies and gentlemen, the never-before-seen
SetList of Mr. Ed Byrne!
(audience cheering)
- What can I tell you, I was sat at the back,
I saw Jason Manford doin' it,
I went, well, if he can do it, I'm gonna give it a go!
(audience laughing)
'Cause let's face it, that's what he said
when he watched Peter Kay.
(audience shouting)
He's a friend, I'm kidding!
Can we all just agree that we can meet up tomorrow
and listen to me tell you the things
I wished I had said tonight, can we just,
can we all just meet up in the morning,
and I will go through all the things
I dwelled on all fucking night tonight
that won't come out right now,
'cause I'm really not an improv guy.
I have a friend who
likes to have sex with dead people right?
I don't want to name him, but he's coming on next.
(laughing)
He's very Irish, he's more Irish than I am.
So when I talk to him, I kinda,
I sound more Irish than I do normally.
So whenever I want to talk to him about it,
the whole necrophilia thing, sometimes I'll just say,
are you still into that corpse sex ting?
(audience laughing) (audience clapping)
Ireland. (audience cheering)
My sister is delicious
and super.
So much so, that we just call her supersistersh--
Did I mention my family are all drunks,
did I mention that?
That probably woulda helped that joke just along,
just a little bit, yeah, yeah.
Ahh.
(laughs)
I've always been a big Prince fan.
Fans of 1980s music going,
"Okay, so he's got one word, right?"
(laughs)
But I remember, I went to see one of his gigs one time
where he'd fired most of his band
and just hired accordion players.
It was about a quarter past eight in the evening.
Alright?
(audience laughing)
And I gotta say, it wasn't as good as Purple Rain.
It wasn't as good as Purple Rain.
It's as simple as that.
He should've kept Wendy and Lisa, at least.
(clears throat) (audience laughing)
I totally, I could just do fucking material now.
(audience laughing)
I am married, actually.
I think the key to a long and happy relationship
is find something the two of you enjoy
and then just finding interesting and innovative ways
of disappointing and annoying your partner.
And I think one of the things
that shows things are going is,
if you're standing on stage
and you know your wife's watching you from the back, and.
(audience laughing)
And you know that she's shaking her head going,
"You're so tempted to go into material right now,
and if you do, I will never fuck you again."
(audience laughing)
And I think that is definitely a symptom
that your marriage is going, well?
(audience laughing)
Well, okay.
Thank you very much.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
Have a very.
