Comedy! Steve Byrne Live
Friday, 28 Sep 2012 at 11:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
After winning TBS's Myspace Standup or Sitdown Comedy Challenge, Steve Byrne was hurled into a brilliant television and film career. Luckily his Korean-Irish ancestry provides him with a wealth of comedic material. His success landed him on the History Channel's The History of the Joke, the Discovery Channel's The Science of Laughter and as a series regular on NBC's The Real Wedding Crashers. His film credits include The Dilemma and Couples Retreat, both starring Vince Vaughn. His most recent one-hour special, The Byrne Identity, premiered last year on Comedy Central.Cosponsored By:
