Steve Byrne: Champion (TV Special 2014)

Steve Byrne: Champion: Directed by Jay Chapman. With Steve Byrne. Steve Byrne, the star of Sullivan u0026 Son, brings his high-energy flair to a live audience in his latest u0026 most personal work in his new one-hour comedy special, Champion.

“Steve Byrne has been pretty funny for many years, and could be considered one of the biggest stand-up comedians today. But this time, something seems different. His jokes are now anti-woman, anti-fat woman, anti-environmentalists, jokes about u0026quot;flaming gayu0026quot; men and u0026quot;full-blownu0026quot; AIDS. Did Byrne have a bad relationship? He seems bitter and has reduced himself to just rattling off ignorant stereotypes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow, this is sort of his shtick, especially because he sees even his own family as stereotypical. But does that excuse the jokes about black people loving fried chicken and being slow at fast food restaurants?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHis Obama impression also somehow turns into Bill Clinton reciting Boyz II Men lyrics. Um, you might want to work on that a bit.”
