TQR 14,394 Posted February 13, 2022 21 minutes ago, Sir Creep said: Irish comedian Ed Byrne has paid tribute to his younger brother Paul, who has passed away from Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 44. Paul, who also worked in the comedy industry, was diagnosed with the uncommon form of cancer in 2013. His agents, Individual Artist Management, described the Irishman as "an exceptional comedy director". Taking to Twitter on Saturday, Ed Byrne paid tribute to his "pain-in-the-arse little brother". Paul Byrne worked as live director on dozens of stage shows, including award-winning shows by Andrew Maxwell, Roisin Conaty and Al Pitcher. He also worked on a variety of television programmes such Dara Ó Briain's Go 8-Bit, on which he served as executive producer, and Chris Moyles' Comedy Empire, providing additional material for the BBC3 show.

It sometimes appears you do your utmost to get peoples backs up (with more than a smidge of success), then you take one on the chin. Fair Play.

A fair point, but most people on the fringes of fame like her tend to have some online die-hards obsessively chronicling the minor details of their lives.
