It's fair to say that I was quite excited for Jason Byrne. It's the taunting of comedy fun when you book tickets months in advance that does it I think; your excitement grows as the date nears closer. And excitement levels were at an extreme high on the night of the 24th. Anything comedy is always a great experience, especially teamed with my favourite comedy buddies Cat and Em; and occasional comedy buddy Eddie.
Travelled, grouped together, ate pizza and garlic bread, stood in line and took our seats. It was finally time for some Jason shenanigans (isn't shenanigans just an awesome word?!).

We Don’t Want To Party (Party) Tour
This was pretty much the most insane gig I've ever been to.
Kicking off the show was Art Rush, who simply used his voice, a ukulele and a computer. His quirky songs and dance moves had the audience interested and giggling (though not necessarily his intention: see an in-depth interview here) - especially with 'I Spin Bland Beats'.
Next were the The John Steel Singers. Their pounding notes soon drew a large crowd, who by the end of the set were dancing along to those infectious drumming beats. 'Masochist' particularly resonated with the crowd, producing loud cheers and enthusiasm for more. Props have to go guitarist Scott Bromiley. No wait, keyboardist. No wait, trumpeter. Hang on, aiding drummer? That guy was pretty cool. Entertaining and catchy, The John Steel Singers are a fantastic live act.
