Life’s a running joke for Jason Byrne
COMEDIAN Jason Byrne is surprised by people’s surprise that he ran the New York City marathon last November. He did it to raise money for Temple Street Children’s Hospital.
“What’s amazing,” he says, “is that is the tone that Irish people always use: ‘Did you actually do the marathon?’ It sounds to Irish people like the most stupid thing to do. It is insane, but my advice to people is that if you’re going to do a marathon, and you’re only ever going to do it once, do New York. It’s one of the most amazing days ever.
