Comedian and broadcaster takes to Garrick stage

Well-known comedian and broadcaster Ed Byrne is bringing his inimitable talents to the Lichfield Garrick Theatre in a show billed Tragedy Plus Time.

From the quote attributed to Mark Twain, humour is defined as Tragedy Plus Time, and Ed (pictured) will be entertaining the Lichfield audience on Wednesday 11 October.

With his TV career now in its third decade, Ed has regularly appeared on the likes of QI, Mock The Week, Alan Davies As Yet Untitled, The Pilgrimage, Dara and Ed 's Road to Mandalay, Dara & Ed 's Big Adventure, The Graham Norton Show and Have I Got News For You, as well as hosting Live At The Apollo and Comic Relief Bake Off.

He was recently seen as a contestant on BBC One 's Celebrity Best Home Cook and has also won celebrity versions of both The Chase and Pointless!

Ed can also be seen turning his presenting skills to factual broadcasting on BBC Two 's Volcano Live, World 's Most Dangerous Roads (where he spent two weeks driving through Siberia) and Into The Wild with Gordon Buchanan.
