BIOGRAPHY
One of the most requested comedians working today. Richie Byrne's
talents are a unique mix of witty story-telling & zinging
observations. Combined with his high energy & a dominating stage
presence, you are sure to leave your seat wanting more!
A classic complainer (when you get down to it, isn't that all a
comedian is anyway?). Richie can tell you stories about his mother,
his wife, his cousin's wedding, his grandmother...that make you swear
he must have been at your last family get-together. He can then turn
it around & pontificate on the world we live in (politics, popular
music, kids, sports) that make you swear he must know what you are
thinking! But, his most hard-hitting material is usually reserved for
Richie himself. His stories about being on the set of shows like "Sex
in the City" & "The Sopranos" will have you roaring with laughter.
Not only a popular comedian, Richie is also an accomplished actor &
singer, with a long resume of theatrical credits (musical & legit) as
well as television. Besides his stints on HBO's "Sex " & "Sopranos" he
has also been seen on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" & "Conviction" on
NBC.
His comedy credits include such well-known clubs as Dangerfield's &
Stand-Up NY in Manhattan as well as many clubs around the country,
including Hilarities in Cleveland & The Ice House in Pasadena. Richie
has had comedy appearances on Comedy Central, VH1 & "The Rosie
O'Donnell Show.”
He has recently teamed up with good friend & fellow comedian, Jay
Black on the new feature film "Goodbye Baby" due out soon. Written &
directed by Dan Schecter, it is a film about a young girl who enters
the world of Stand-Up. Richie & Jay were hired to write her material &
consult the actress playing the part as well as performing their
material & playing roles in the film.
But, Richie's proudest accomplishment in show business is "The Richie
Byrne Show" at Caroline's on Broadway. Richie's talent for acting,
singing & comedy made it a natural step that he would star in his own
‘variety show' series & "The Richie Byrne Show" is it!
Written by some of the top comics in NY & performed by some of the
most talented actors, singers & musicians, The "Richie Byrne Show" is
an "off the wall", throwback to the old days of "Variety". Based on
such great programs like "The Jackie Gleason Show" & "Your Show of
Shows", the ensemble cast & "big name" guest stars from all walks of
entertainment, take you on a 90 minute, whirlwind ride of sketches,
songs & stand-up comedy in a seamless fashion, with Richie Byrne as
the hilarious thread that holds all the pieces together.
Richie Byrne is a multi-talented, uniquely funny comedian & performer
that you don't dare miss!!!
