| Bio: | Name: Dennis 'Denny' Byrne Age: 26 Occupation: Stand up comedian Orientation: Bisexual Home town: Boston, Mass  Biography:Denny grew up in Boston, the son of a Boston PD cop, his mother died of cancer when Denny was only 9. He's got 5 brothers and 2 sisters - all older. Mostly Denny's material comes from this often crazy and in his words 'disappointingly stereotypical' Irish family. He never attended college - "My dad put three kids through college. He got tired of pretending to like us more than Johnny, Jack and Jose after that." He worked odd jobs after high school, a barista in a Starbucks and at an Applebys most notably - "Only thing people who go to Starbucks want more than a coffee induced heart palpitation is a jackass to yell at at fuck o'clock in the morning. Luckily I get yelled at well. I'm a pro, ask my dad." Before four years ago, on a dare, doing a 5 minute stand up bit at an Open Mic at a bar in Cambridge, somehow Denny had been a big hit, "It'll be galling in a few years to realise those schmucks back in Cambridge weren't laughing with me, but at the sad 22 year old who hadn't mastered shoe-laces yet. I'm not talented, but no one's noticed yet.". A mix of self-deprecating humour and dry wit boosted Denny from Applebys to paid gigs across Massachusetts. Denny left Boston following the suicide of his older brother Cormac. Cormac and Denny had been close since they were children with only 1 year between them. He packed up and headed first for New York then Chicago before finally finding something he liked in New Orleans. He did some pick up gigs, starting from the ground up again. 8 months ago he was seen by a radio programmer who offered Denny a 3 hour breakfast radio slot on Sunday mornings - "He was drunk, I'm pretty sure. But I'm Irish; if you don't listen to drunk guys you'd need to master tuning your own voice out at all times." | |||||||||
