About Peter-john Byrnes

Peter-john Byrnes began performing stand-up professionally at the age of seventeen and continues to this day, with periodic decades of inactivity.He has been called “fitfully amusing” and “mildly funny” by critics. He doesn’t like you.

He can be seen at comedy clubs and saloons both near his home in the greater Chicago area and further afield, and is also a regular contributor to the WitStream website. His semi-competent witticisms have been featured on the Huffington Post, Splitsider, and Comedy Central websites.

The list of his all-time most popular jokes on Twitter can be found on his page at Favstar.fm, along with a number of other funny people who are well worth your time.

Peter-john is the host of the comedy podcast This Week in Despair, which gets downloaded in all 50 states and (at last count) 25 foreign countries around the world. He is inexplicably popular in Finland.
