Steve Byrne: The Last Late Night

I was happy to see something fresh and different and funny. Too many specials were getting made and a lot of comics forgot about the "special" part of it.

Steve put together his ode to late night in a very thoughtful way. Everything from the set to the variations of joke structures throughout, was executed with laser like precision. The dude is a pro and it's nice knowing that there are still comics working today that operate on that level. You can tell Steve did his homework when it comes to the history of the late night format. The set is sick - it looks like he has a believable late night network show which allows you to easily fall into the visual nostalgia. Highly recommend. Very funny.

If you're easily offended, you might want to skip this one. I am not and I loved it! He makes fun of everything and everyone, and most importantly himself. So much has been lost in the last few years because of cancel culture which should be called -cancer culture- because it's killing fun and laughter. This was refreshing and funny. I laughed so hard- especially the ending with the romantic homeless man and his sons sense of humor! Great job Steve!!! It's nice that there are comedians still around that believe and practice free speech. We need more comedians pushing back against the nonsense that everything is racist. Steve-Please keep it up!

There are a lot of dad level jokes in this set that just do not land giving the entire performance cheap feeling. A good comedy knows their material and focuses on the good stuff. There is none of that here.

Ignoring all of that there is a lot of political jokes in here that are about very recent events and even though it's only been two years, it's incredibly dated.

There are a few jokes about race but they are all tired old junk. White people don't have black friends. Black people don't have Asian friends. These are the jokes moment left and right.

His audience work is embarrassingly bad. For someone that claims to have over two decades of entertaining experience, I expected more.

It appears he moved to Tennessee because he couldn't handle the competition and was able to make it in the industry.

Steve Byrne is one of the funniest and hardest working comedians in the business and once again he does not dissappoint. A veteran is who not afraid to push the boundaries and is a master of his craft.

This is a great concept that he knocks out of the park. From his monolouge of one-liners, to tradional standup to his inredible crowd work, he keeps the pace moving fast and furious. If you sit within eye sight of Steve at one of his shows you better have a good sense a humour because he is going in!

The band was a great touch too and game for this . Kudos to them.

Strap in and get ready to laugh away.

Admittedly, I'm only nine minutes into this but I'm not sure I'm gonna make it through to the end. The premise is interesting. He sets the special up as a late night talk show. He comes out as though he's doing a monologue and I'm not sure if it's his delivery or the material, but I just haven't laughed once. It's like he studied late night monologues and copied the worst jokes from them. At one point he pretended explaining the jokes to a woman in the audience but from the sounds of polite laughter from the rest of the audience and the solo clap he got on a truly stupid joke, I feel like she just didn't find him funny, and she wasn't the only one.

I've seen other Byrne specials, and they were much better than this one. Not really sure what happened here.... When even your band is heckling you, something is very, very wrong.
