Steve Byrne: The Last Late Night

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.

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.

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.

Steve Byrne is one of the best comedians performing today and this might be some of his best work.

The concept behind this special is, well, special. If you've ever watched classic late night talk shows, (think The Tonight Show during the Carson era), The Last Late Night will leave you wanting more. It's timely, honest, bold, and, oh yeah, pee-your-pants funny!! The concept is well executed and beautifully presented. The band, the Neal "Sugar" Caine Trio, is amazing and the direction by Joe Gatto (his directorial debut, btw) is well done.

I could go on and on. Watch this special. You will not be disappointed.
