Further details
Jason Byrne casts a comedic eye over the fertile territory of "misery and happiness" in the final episode of his themed audience comedy show, with high-energy stand-up and sketches.
Jason compares international attitudes to other people's good fortune and explains why his Irish background means that revelling in misery is never far away. Jason compares the merits of "happy" Australian fruit and "miserable" British fruit; tries to relieve heartache in the audience; and reveals the simple pleasures that make him and his son happy.
