Steven Alan Green - Stand Up Comedy

After struggling to make it as a singer/songwriter, Steven tried his hand at stand-up comedy. In 1981 Steven was hired as a “paid regular” and house emcee (compere) at the Comedy Store in LA. While there he performed along the likes of Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Sam Kinsion and Jim Carrey. After 5 years of fun but getting nowhere, Steven went up on stage and announced to the audience he was quitting showbiz forever. But when he made the announcement, he felt a huge burden off his shoulders and he decided to come back and do another “farewell performance”. Attaching the notion of getting high on laughter and being addicted to performing, Steven finally had what one prominent Hollywood agent once said he needed, “an act”!

Steven placed 5^th in the 1994 Seattle International Comedy Competition, where the finals were held at the Seattle Opera House.

Steven has played clubs and colleges throughout the US and Canada as well as in the UK where he currently resides. (full list available upon request)

Although bookended by the “farewell performance” notion, Steven’s act is very light and funny. He sings satirical songs, does mixed impressions, audience repartee as well as jokes. (He is in fact known as one of the quickest…uh…wits around!)

Steven is available for bookings as a stand-up or an emcee (compere).

Since first quitting in 1986, Steven has racked up well over 5,000 farewell performances, every one his last. (at least that’s what he says)
