His comedy is all about observation. However, it is very well written material, very well thought out and his delivery is faultless. But I am looking forward to some new material. Some of his jokes have been around a while now and now that he has his DVD out he will need all new material because people do not appreciate paying to go and see what they could easily watch at home. That said, I can see him again, again and again and will never get tired of him!

Thought he was brilliant in Edinburgh. Kept you laughing for the whole hour. Very funny

Saw him at Edinburgh festival, and was sadly disappointed. Less than half as funny as the BBC stand up show the night previous which was with less well-known comics. Great entrance though

Seen Ed last year in Cardiff with a couple of work collegues, laughed all night, what a totally funny guy, would defo go and see his show again.

A disappointing performance in the Fringe. Observational it was, just a pity that most of the jokes were based on obvious observations of which we are all bored. Surely you can do better than rehash the old "Christmas gets earlier every year" cliche.

Ed Byrne hosted the Montreal Just for Laughs all-Irish Gala this year. I thought he was one of the best performers of that night. His material is great, and he keeps you laughing the whole way through. I loved him

Good show at the fringe... my first time seeing him. A bit too family-friendly but maybe that was due to catering to a large mixed audience? When he showed a slightly nastier edge was very funny. Some really good stuff there. Wish he'd either cut that hair or tie it back though - drove me nuts watching him constantly fuss with it

Ed used to trade on his fresh looks and material, but he's looking and sounding tired now. Lord knows what he'll do when the voiceover work dries up
