This entire SHOW was hilarious! Even the opening act was funny! Ryan Dalton, who tours with Steve, is also a VERY funny guy! Steve Byrne, of course, is a riot. My face hurt afterwards! My girlfriend loved it, too. I'd recommend this show to anyone. I can't spoil anything, but the interactions between Steve and Ryan were great.
Steve Byrne and his opening acts were hilarious. I absolutely loved it!! My favorite part was the boy band "Mantastic" - too much!

Steve Byrne's high energy, physical style of comedy makes him one of the hottest young comedians touring the country today. He was born to a Korean mother and an Irish father, which provides him with a wealth of material. His new hour special, Steve Byrne's Happy Hour, premiered on Comedy Central to rave reviews. He's acted in the Jeremy Piven vehicle The Goods: The Don Ready Story as well as with Vince Vaughn and Reece Witherspoon in Four Christmases.
He was a series regular on NBC's The Real Wedding Crashers and he appeared in a promo for a Super Bowl halftime show with Prince.
