Ed Byrne on MSN
Bored with your nine-to-five? Fancy some light relief from the hundreds of emails in your inbox? Well, we’ve got the ideal thing for you. MSN has teamed up with Irish comedy genius Ed Byrne to bring you a daily dose of humour.
From February 19 every working day until March 2 we’ll present a new video of stand-up comedy from Ed. He will give you his take on everything from builders to bathroom scales, sadistic dental hygienists to cool uncles. If you don’t find them funny then you should check your pulse – you may well be dead.
So if you like your comedy, keep coming back for more. Don’t worry if you miss an episode, we’ll keep the videos on the site for a couple of months.
Tell your family, tell your friends – just don’t tell your boss.
And don’t forget to try Ed’s Slack-O-Meter. He desperately wants to find out how much he’s costing the British economy by, err, wasting your valuable time with his hilarious routines! Enjoy.
