ED BYRNE - DIFFERENT CLASS
Half toff, half pikey... All comic!
Comedy favourite returns with a blisteringly funny new one man show about marriage, class, the youth of today and anything else that strikes him as humorous. It's hard to say any more than that as this blurb had to be written in April when the new show was barely taking shape. He might end up doing an hour about going to the Opera for all I know. Oh, no he's done that.
“His wit won deafening cheers and feet stomping” The Guardian
“Jokes come so fast that hecklers don’t have a chance to get a word in edgeways” The Times
“It is rare for a comic to merit the word “masterful” but in this case it is no overstatement” The Scotsman
“Astoundingly polished material” The Sunday Telegraph
“A comedian with everything going for him, Ed Byrne has all the attributes to upgrade to the big time…see him” The Independent
“He describes himself as a stick insect rather than a sex symbol but the high proportion of women hanging on his every witticism suggests otherwise. He may be thin and weedy but his material certainly is not.” Daily Express
Towngate Theatre, Basildon
First opened in 1989, the Towngate Theatre is owned by Basildon District Council and is run by the Council's Cultural Services section. After a period of partial closure the Towngate re-opened fully in summer 2006 as an important feature of Basildon Council's modern cultural strategy.
Although the Towngate Theatre was built as recently as the late 1980s, its main auditorium follows the traditional horse-shoe design seen in many theatres built during the Georgian period. However, it is possible to quickly remove and store the entire 232 stalls seats under the main stage, creating a massive 378 square metre flat floor area suitable for all sorts of occasions.
Work is continually underway to build up a show calendar which will include shows put together by Towngate Promotions, as well as popular, entertaining and occasionally, more cultural and controversial productions brought in from elsewhere. All chosen to appeal to as large a cross section of people as possible.
