My new favorite comedian!
He was a guest on Graham Norton's show tonight - I'd never heard of him. Wow - he's adorable, funny, smart, sexy. Ed Byrne, from Ireland:

here's a clip from his DVD (the other segments are on youtube, too)

Here's a short clip I liked:

Forgive this next question because I'm completely absorbed about quitting smoking now days. How do comedians get away with smoking on stage? I think most states have laws against smoking indoors now days.

2. Well..
I believe that was filmed in Britain, so don't know the laws.

But... even in the US, most places allow exceptions for smoking if it's part of a performance. For example, an actor in a play can smoke if it's part of the play. And since part of his comic routine is about smoking, he can smoke as part of his act.
