Shane Daniel Byrne: Baby This Time

Irish stand-up comedian Shane Daniel Byrne brings Baby This Time to Leeds, a show about a man whose friends are starting families while he is still enjoying the craic. It is a comedy show with a personal core.

Shane Daniel Byrne presents Baby This Time, a stand-up show built on a simple contrast: every friend is having children, while the comedian is still having fun. The material is described as the most personal of Byrne's shows so far, and it looks at what it means to be a man who cannot have a baby, approached with humour and candour.

Expect an hour of fast-paced stand-up in which the jokes sit alongside more heartfelt passages. Byrne speaks directly to the audience, and the tone moves between laughter and reflection on a subject many people will recognise from their own circle.

Praise for the act includes a comment from Tommy Tiernan, who says Byrne storms a room, and David O'Doherty, who has called Byrne his favourite new Irish comedian for many years. The Irish Examiner has named Byrne its favourite, and Broadway World awarded four stars. The show takes place at Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds, a venue that hosts live shows in the city.
