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.
