Product Description
Half toff, half pikey, all comic! Ed Byrne is undoubtedly one of the funniest comics working today and his Different Class tour has been his most successful show ever. Lauded by critics and audiences alike, this blistering one man show takes in such diverse topics as WAGs, Goths, the class system and DVD piracy as well as frank and honest tales about Ed s upbringing, his parents and his recent nuptials. Filmed in Glasgow, the city where he started as a stand up 16 years ago, Different Class shows Byrne at the very top of his game and demonstrates why he really is in a class of his own. Extras: Fake Orgasm and In-vision Commentary with Jimmy Carr & Ed Byrne.

It's difficult to add anything useful to the reviews that have already been done, so I'll be brief and to-the-point. There are a lot of comedians out there, but Ed Byrne is in a class of his own. (Haa. See what I did there?) But seriously, Ed's humor is very clever, cheeky, and intelligent, and if you appreciate good comedy you won't regret getting the DVD.

Once again, Ed Byrne offers hilarious commentary on everyday aspects of our lives. While the show is called 'Different Class',he doesn't just look at class differences, he talks about everything - from his wife, to his friends, his family, feminism, and comedy in general, and so much more.
All in all, a fantastic show! Well worth the buy!

Irish comedian Ed Byrne is a familiar face on British TV screens, thanks to appearances on the BBC's `Live at the Apollo' and panel game shows like `Mock the Week, ' `Have I Got New For You,' `Never Mind the Buzzcocks' and `8 Out of 10 Cats.' In `Different Class,' some of his famous routines are given another airing, but there's also a raft of new material, much of which deals with relationships and married life (Byrne married several months before this DVD was recorded).
Established fans should be aware that a fair percentage of the material in this show will be familiar from earlier performances (the girl at the airport, Hostel 2, the DVD piracy warning, kids arming themselves, getting `stepped to' by an emo, snowboarding and skiing, sleep / snoring, falling in love versus being in love, couples watching porn together, etc). I was initially a little disappointed to hear so many jokes with punch-lines that I could remember, and therefore anticipate, but I still found it rewarding to sit through these segments, just to see how Byrne occasionally puts a new spin on old jokes (I won't post any spoilers, but stick with it and you'll get a great many laughs from the ingenuity on display - the explanation for his collective nouns, `a mood of Goths' and `an isobar of emos' is particularly clever). He even manages to wrong-foot the viewer on one or two occasions. For example, early on in the show, he talks about the 25tth anniversary re-release of the Michael Jackson album, `Thriller.' I rolled my eyes at this point, expecting it to segue into a re-tread of his Alanis Morisette skit (which is deservedly famous, but also a number of years old). Thankfully, though, he avoids the obvious and goes off a refreshingly unexpected tangent.... Read more ›

Ed Burne is fantastic, I saw him do this show in Aldershot and just had to get it so my mates could see what they missed

WOW! What can I say?...I am a massive Ed fan and I certainly wasn't disappointed. He is a brilliant comedian with hilarious observational humour. The dvd was great value - both for its price and the laughs it gave! Sounds corny - but it really is a 'must have' dvd!

Great stuff Ed!
I also enjoyed the DVD commentary with Jimmy Carr.

I saw this show in Aylesbury in March 2009 and absolutely loved every minute of it. Ed Byrne is a rare breed of intelligent comedian, whilst managing to be hilarious at the same time. The show is based heavily on the class system (unfortunately we did not conform to the stereotypical Aylesbury audience, as we actually live in Inverness and decided to see him there with a friend who lives nearby) and I found myself agreeing with pretty much every point he made, whilst laughing hysterically the whole time. I fell in love with him after watching the "Pedantic and Whimsical" DVD, another DVD I would highly recommend, and find it a real shame that he doesn't seem to have caught the same kind of wave of appreciation as, for example, Michael McIntyre or Lee Evans. However, saying that, I found the ambience of the show we saw was greatly improved by it NOT being a huge audience, something you would probably have to contend with when watching those two comedians.
Anyway, this DVD is on my pre-order list. I cannot fault the show I saw at all.

Wasn't as good as his stand up I've seen on tv
I felt that this dvd should have been called something else really, as it didn't really make sense to be called 'Different Class' and some of the jokes he made about other things... Read more

Disappointed
I absolutely LOVE Ed Byrne, but was very disappointed by this DVD. It certainly was a struggle to watch it all the way to the end.

Better on his DVD than in person
I was introduced to him once in 1996 by another stand-up comedian, I found him to be a bit dull and stand-offish. Read more
