“slick, confident… uproariously funny.” - Steve Bennett, Chortle
Brief Description
A bucketload of charm and some surreal and silly material coupled with his brilliant comedy songs make Steve the ideal booking for any evening.
Biog
Steve walked out on a mind numbing office job and straight onto a comedy stage in the beginning of 2003, and has not looked back since.
Within half a year of his comedic birth he had made it through to the semi-finals of the BBC New Comedian of the Year, the North West Comedian of the Year Final, and later that year he had the honour of appearing on the BBC7 Radio Showcase “Spanking New”.
Since then he has added to his list of accolades by being named the Holsten Pils Comedian of the Year 2005, and the Birmingham Comedy Festival’s best breaking talent 2005.
Steve has more strings in his bow than Nicanor Zabaleta (THE world famous harpist!). A very charismatic and silly performer with a natural talent for spinning yarns, a fertile imagination, and a skilled musical background, his act combines as many elements as Steve can muster.

Corporate
“Steve comes highly recommended for corporate work and is sure to help make you event a great success.
Steve surpassed all our expectations at our annual dinner.
He was awesome and caused lots of jaw ache – which hopefully the audience wont be submitting a claim for – esp as they are experienced insurance people who know all about how to make a claim!
He interacted well with the sizeable audience and his jokes were fresh and seemed to strike a chord with all
We would definitely have Steve back and strongly recommend him for other corporate events.
He even stayed around till late into the evening mixing with the attendees and all comments we have had back have been extremely positive
A good night out was had by all mainly due to the excellent entertainment we all had from Steve.”
