Jason Byrne: 30 Years Byrning
A stand-up comedy show marking three decades on stage for comedian Jason Byrne. It is part of the Harrogate Comedy Festival and will suit fans of energetic, audience-engaging comedy.
What it is and who goes
Jason Byrne: 30 Years Byrning is the Irish comedian's anniversary tour, marking three decades of stand-up. Press coverage of the tour says to expect new material alongside the props, stunts and audience interaction that his live shows are known for. The Harrogate date is listed as part of the town's October comedy festival. It is a ticketed show for the general public, so audiences are usually a mix of local fans and people travelling in for the evening.
Dates and opening times
There is one performance, on Saturday 10 October 2026 at Harrogate Theatre on Oxford Street. The show starts at 7.30pm. Doors open roughly half an hour before that, so arriving around 7pm gives you time to find your seat and get a drink.
Visitors
Tickets are sold through Harrogate Theatre and Ticketmaster. At the time of writing Ticketmaster showed low availability, so check the theatre's listing for the latest position. If you are coming from out of town, a late finish on a Saturday makes an overnight stay more practical than a rush for the last train. Our apartments and townhouses in central Harrogate give you space to relax before and after the show, and a kitchen if you would rather not eat out. You can have a quiet night in or walk to the theatre.
Getting there
Harrogate station is about a 10-minute walk from the Convention Centre, and the town centre is compact enough to cover on foot. LNER runs direct trains to London King's Cross roughly hourly. Leeds is about 35 minutes away by train. Leeds Bradford Airport is about 30 minutes by taxi. If you are driving, town-centre parking fills up on Saturday evenings, so it is worth planning where to leave the car.
Booking early
This is a single-night event and the theatre is not large, so tickets and good accommodation both go quickly. If you are reading this ahead of a similar date, book your seats first and then your room. Harrogate is busy on weekends in the autumn, and central apartments are often the first to go. If you would like to stay with us, contact the team directly and we can suggest a property that suits your group size.
After the show
Harrogate has plenty of places to eat and drink close to the theatre. Many restaurants take late bookings on a Saturday, though it is safer to reserve a table before you arrive. Wine bars and pubs in the town centre are open after the show if you want to carry on the evening. If you are staying on Sunday, the Turkish Baths in Harrogate are a popular way to start a slower morning. Check their opening hours and booking requirements before you go.
