Steve
Day is a truly unique comedian - warm, witty and engaging whilst dealing
with the dilemmas of being a deaf man in a hearing world.
His stories of multiple children, wearing a suit and the problems caused
by not knowing how words are pronounced will have audiences in raptures,
and his uplifting tales of overcoming the obstacles in his path will leave
crowds feeling inspired.
Steve
is a favourite at many venues across the UK and abroad, and is quickly
establishing himself as one of the most popular and respected acts on the
circuit.
He has
become a familiar voice on BBC Radio 4, contributing regular to 'You and
Yours', featuring in a half-hour special of 'No Triumph, No Tragedy' and
starring alongside Caroline Quentin and Patricia Routledge in 'The Sound
Barrier'. Steve was also a staff writer on Radio 2's long-running 'The
News Huddlines' and has appeared on numerous TV shows, most notable
Channel 4's 'Natural Born Talent' and Sky's 'Abnormally Funny People'. He
is currently working on a sitcom, and early treatments for an adaptation
of his stage show 'A Night At The Pictures' have met with enthusiasm and
excitement.
In 2005
Steve went on his first national tour of arts centres and theatres, with
an updated version of his Edinburgh Fringe show 'Deaf In The Afternoon'.
This tour was so successful that it went on the road again later in the
same year, in total playing to over 30 venues around the UK, Denmark,
Ireland and Italy. In 2006 Steve took his latest show 'A Night At The
Pictures' on the road for a mini-tour, playing 10 dates around the UK to
both audience and critical acclaim.

Please
note: Most comedians are lazy incompetent sods, who can't read a train
timetable, or would pay 30 pieces of silver to appear on a pilot for a radio
panel show. Thus all line ups are subject to change.
Please check with the venue 24hrs prior
to the show for confirmation of line ups.
