Steve Byrne: The Byrne Identity

I'm impressed--Steve Byrne is hilarious. I loved this performance all the way through. He used plenty of the expected racial stereotype humor (since he's half Korean and half Irish) but had tons of other material he drew on.

I now have to track down older routines he's done. This one was good enough that I would easily pay money to see him if he comes to town on tour; I enjoyed this one much more than the last time I saw Seinfeld.

It's rather sad that the smartest people in public life end up in comedy (see Chris Rock, Harry Shearer, George Carlin...). I only wish we had somebody with this kind of brains running the country instead of making us laugh.
