ED BYRNE 104 THE LIST FESTIVAL 13–20 Aug 2015

From The List ARCHIVE We’ve had some questionable hairdos in our time, but none that have accentuated our cheek bones in quite the way Ed Byrne’s does here. We’re not sure how he managed that, but we like it. A staggering 15 years ago we were cheeky enough to begin this feature about him with the line: ‘There are a lot of people out there who can’t stand Ed Byrne.’ Then to add insult to injury, we went with those puns. We wouldn’t subject him to that this year: his show Outside Looking In is more mature, less hirsute, but just as chiselled. Outside Looking In, Gilded Balloon, 622 6552, until 30 Aug (not 17, 27), 9pm, £15 (£12). It’s selling fast, so be quick.

NEXT ISSUE WED 19 AUG This next one will be our last issue of the festival, folks - we know, August is flying by. If you can’t wait until then, head to list. co.uk/festival for the latest reviews and features, and follow us at @thelistmagazine and facebook.com/ thelistmagazine
