Speaking with The New York Times: “It’s too soon for him to have a surprise one, that’s for sure,” Byrne said when asked whether the comedian was ready for a comeback. “I think if he’s going to show up, just let everybody know so then they can make a decision, like, ‘I don’t want to see this guy — I’m out.’ It’s also the gatekeepers around these things who give people the chance to have a comeback. They’re actually really powerful. I would like to see them being held accountable a little bit more.” I wrote last month: “My take on this ‘controversy’ is that if C.K. wants to perform at the comedy club, then let him perform. It’s his right to do so, the comedy club has agreed it is fine and if anybody has a problem with it then they can just walk out. It’s that simple. He’s not Harvey Weinstein, he’s not Bill Cosby, what he did is still disturbing and has consequences, but it didn’t warrant any arrests, and if his fans have no problem watching him do his act, then what exactly is the problem?” Contribute Hire me
