30 dates for Unblocked after its Edinburgh Fringe run

Jason Byrne is to take his new show Unblocked on tour after his Edinburgh Fringe run.

The comic has announced 30 dates, starting at The Stand in Newcastle on September 15 and ending at The Lowry in Salford on November 27.

Its title comes from the operation Byrne had to have five stents implanted last year after suffering chest pains while out for a run, the fact he was banned from TikTok for impersonating ‘Body Coach' Joe Wicks, as well as a reference to the way ‘the constipation of Covid has been cleared [and] live entertainment has been colonically irrigated and readied up for us all.’

He said: ‘I’m unblocked and ready to go! My arteries are unblocked, I’ve been unblocked from TikTok and other social media, my brain is flowing at full capacity and I’m finally ready to unleash the full potential that is Jason Byrne.’

The Irish stand-up will be at McEwan Hall -  the biggest venue at the Edinburgh Fringe – for the full run of the festival.
