thread_title:  Incorrect information 

message: Listening to Ed Byrne a few minutes ago on Gold Radio, he talked about Wikipedia and how he was amused by the mis-fact "He is currently writing a sitcom with Irish comic Andrew Maxwell about two gay men who begin living together after meeting on a comedy panel show about owls." He enjoyed it so much, he left it.
As I was online, I had a look myself to see it had already been removed! That anon IP was quick. MortimerCat (talk) 07:19, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Some additional information 

message: There is currently a fact on the page that his birthday is today (10th April) which has no source given.  He has just tweeted to say that this is wrong, so I will remove the date until somebody can find a correct one with evidence.  http://twitter.com/MrEdByrne/status/11934871386 TwoSheds88 (talk) 13:13, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birthday is wrong 

message: IMDb gives 10 April 1972. But The Sun, bless them, gives 16 April 1972 as does The Blackpool Grand Theatre (who make quite a thing of it). Who's right? Martinevans123 (talk) 22:08, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: His DOB is April 16th. Ed Bryne, himself, confirmed as much during an interview with The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X on the morning of the 9th April 2018. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 10:44, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date of birth? 

message: Byrne's birth name is given as Edward Cathal Byrne. The source given is this audio file of an interview in 2013 for Richard Herring's Edinburgh Fringe Podcast. The name does not appear in the text. The podcasts lasts for 1:02:16 and the claim is finally mentioned only at 58:20, when Byrne says "That is false. My middle name is Cathal." He sounds perfectly serious, even though he then makes a joke about his wife, and relates a story about his wedding vows. He explains it is the Irish name for "Charles." So I have updated the ref with "time=58:05" and added a quote. But is this source acceptable/ sufficient? Is any additional footnote needed? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:14, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not clear to me if the name Byrne gives is Cathal or Cahal. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:43, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birth name 

message: In this interview he recalls the death of his brother Paul (who also worked in comedy, as a director, writer and producer). He says: "At his funeral, as per his wishes, he was cremated to the song "Disco Inferno" – the lyrics of which, "Burn, baby, burn", offered ".. a pleasing pun on his status as younger sibling."
