"She said, 'I'll tell the people on the telly I've seen you,'"
"I asked her if she had sat-nav, and she told me she was too old for that. So it took me about 10 minutes to tell her where to go."
Jason Byrne has been a stalwart of the stand-up circuit for the last two decades. He did not always see a future in comedy but established a long-running career. Personal upheaval such as getting divorced affected him and influenced his perspective. He identifies with intense parenting expectations, describing himself as a 'Ferrari parent.' A sitcom project proved disastrous, yet he continues performing. Unpredictable, colourful encounters occur frequently in his life, illustrated by guiding an elderly driver who lacked sat-nav and spent ten minutes finding her way after asking for directions.
