Comedian Jason Byrne is shutting down his primary entertainment company, which had built up €1.3 million in assets as of 2024, according to recently published financial records.
This decision follows the Dublin native publicly sharing details about the difficult end of his marriage to Brenda, which occurred in 2018, earlier this year.
Gavin Byrne and his ex-wife of 14 years, who share two children, privately dealt with their divorce for six months before anyone knew.
But six years ago he found love again with girlfriend Tracy Power, whom he met at a photo op.
Even after their divorce in 2018, Brenda continued as a director and co-owner of Jason Byrne Entertainment Ltd. However, last summer, the company purchased her 50% ownership stake for a small amount, and she stepped down from her role as a director.
Now, the firm has just applied to the Company Registrations Office to be wound up voluntarily.
Tony McBride, an accountant from Dundalk, has been named as the person responsible for handling the liquidation. He declined to comment when reached this week.
The company’s latest financial records show it had over €1.3 million in assets at the close of 2024.
In that year, Byrne and his ex-wife split a payment of €264,000, which was consistent with what they’d received in prior years.
As of 2024, the company’s assets included €167,060 in outstanding debts owed to it, €479,520 in cash, and other financial investments totaling €727,000.
After considering short-term debts of €42,111, the company’s net worth for 2024 was €1,331,709.
Because the 2025 financial reports haven’t been filed yet, we don’t currently know how the company performed financially last year.
As Mr. Byrne continues to achieve success and gain popularity, it’s probable that his financial situation has remained strong.
The comedian’s Head In The Clouds Irish tour has so far sold out eight of its 17 shows.
A further 32-date UK tour begins in June and carries on to the end of November.
Any changes happening at Byrne’s company probably aren’t due to financial problems. It’s more likely a normal adjustment as he continues to grow his successful business.
In April 2025, he launched a new performing arts company, Uncarvedblock Ltd., operating from his home in Meath.
Okay, so Jason finally talked about Tracy, and I’m officially losing it! He told Evoke – you HAVE to read it – that she works with Arc Cancer, which is amazing. And get this – she’s ten years younger than him, but he joked that he’s like a five-year-old, so she’s actually more mature! Seriously, they’re the cutest, and I’m completely obsessed with them already. It just…makes so much sense, you know?
She’s wonderful, and it’s nice having her in my life. We aren’t living together at the moment; my son and I live in Ashbourne, while she lives in town. We might move in together eventually, but I’m content with how things are right now.
When asked about remarrying, the 53-year-old was emphatic: he said absolutely not, and ruled it out completely.
I told Tracy that if she ever wants to marry me, we can have a fun, informal ceremony – like running through a field with flowers in her hair and her friends – but I absolutely refuse to get legally married again.
Byrne also has other business investments.
Records indicate he holds a 10% stake in Actus Investments Ltd, which reported a loss of €158,000 in 2023.
He previously owned half of Special Eye Entertainment, but he sold his shares to another investor when he left the company in 2023.
During the 2020 pandemic, when live performances were cancelled, Byrne teamed up with Brendan Morrisey, a tech entrepreneur from Kilkenny, to create iLaugh, a new comedy app.
The app is operated by a company named iLaugh Ltd. But, Byrne is no longer with the company as an owner or director, having left in October 2021.
Mr Byrne did not respond to requests for comment.
