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.

WatchMe

It was one of the best nights of my life! Hilarious man. I had watched his Byrne Identity HBO special and he repeated some jokes but more than 95% of them were new and he even took a request from an audience member which I thought was extremely sweet and professional. He talks about all sorts of things and some things may or may not be shocking but his demeanor reminds me that it's only a joke and I think I love that about him, he doesn't take on that A-hole act as his standup persona. He will not let you down, you can see he puts his heart into every show. And his opening acts were hilarious as well.. really did their job of warming up the crowd...
Tip:Get there early and get great seats by making dinner reservations. They don't have you on the list until the last minute if you're a Goldstar purchaser but you should mention that and it shouldn't be a problem.
Getting there early means front row means great view means possible interaction with performer means you might be called onstage means... don't dress like a slob unless you want to be picked on while onstage.

Description

In just a few short years, Steve Byrne has risen through the ranks of the comedy world to become one of the industry’s most innovative and sought-after performers. With his high-energy, physical style of comedy, Byrne has evolved throughout the years into an extremely versatile entertainer that delivers on a day-to-day basis. Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, Steve Byrne was born to a Korean mother and an Irish father, which continues to provide him with an inordinate wealth of comedic material. Byrne’s most recent hour special, The Byrne Identity, premiered last year on Comedy Central to rave reviews.

After winning TBS’ cutthroat competition, the Myspace Standup or Sitdown Comedy Challenge, Byrne was hurtled into a brilliant television and film career. As his popularity began to expand, Byrne was featured in his very own half-hour Comedy Central Presents which was soon voted as one of the best specials of all time in the Comedy Central Standup Showdown. His hilarious standup has been seen on NBC’s The Tonight Show, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS's The Late Late Show and BET's Comic View. In 2008, Byrne’s first one-hour special, Steve Byrne’s Happy Hour, premiered on Comedy Central and further cemented his star status. Packing an impressively wide range of appeal, Byrne’s comedy soon landed him on the The History of the Joke on the History Channel and the Discovery Channel’s The Science of Laughter. He has since appeared on some of TV’s hottest shows including ABC’s The Middle, The Chappelle Show, G4’s The International Sexy Ladies Show, The Howard Stern Show, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, The Very Funny Show and was a series regular on NBC’s The Real Wedding Crashers.

A true international comedian, Byrne has performed to sold-out crowds around the world. He has been a featured comic at the Just for Laughs Festival (in Montreal, Toronto and Chicago), HBO’s US Comedy Arts Festival in Las Vegas and the CanWest Comedy Fest in Vancouver. He has been part of several national comedy tours including The Jameson Comedy Tour, Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Tour, The Kims of Comedy, The Camel Cigarettes Sin City Tour, and his own national Myspace Comedy tour. Byrne even had the honor of opening for esteemed musical acts such as Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Modest Mouse, Puddle of Mudd, Spoon, Rev. Horton Heat and many more. As a big supporter of the US troops, Steve also headlined several USO tours in Afghanistan, Iraq, Japan and Guam.

Byrne has appeared in the hit comedies The Dilemma, Couples Retreat, Four Christmases and The Goods: The Don Ready Story. His 2006 documentary, 13 or Bust, chronicles the attempt to perform 13 comedy shows in Manhattan in one night.
