A very strong MC who can connect with any audience and can adapt to any situation, enjoying a growing reputation which has seen him booked not only in countries such as The Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, Malta and Romania but also the UKs top clubs.

He has written for 8 Out of 10 Cats and Walk on the Wild Side and his debut one man show had 2 sell out nights at the 2010 Manchester Comedy Festival.

Throughout the years Steve has become a regular headliner at some of the most respected comedy clubs in the UK, and has done support slots for Johnny Vegas, Peter Kay and Lee Evans on their UK tours.

Steve’s confident, observational and physical performances have earned him international status as he has performed all over the world including performances for our British Troops in Afghanistan.

Aside from comedy, Steve has deservedly earned TV credits on movies and shows like Funny Cow, Love, Lies and Records and most recently Coronation Street. The ability to make a range of audiences laugh and the talent to be versatile in front of a TV camera are not Steve’s only talents, he was once a lead singer/rapper in eighties/nineties rap band, First Offence and possesses musical talents and a keen mind for comedy writing.
