According to Time Out (2004), “Stephen
Grant is... Britain’s best comedy compere and odd-job man.” And it's
not hard to see why. A cult figure at the triple award winning Chortle
best comedy venue ‘Komedia’, where he plays host to over 900 people
every weekend in Brighton, his live work as a headliner and compere
can be seen in all the top UK venues. In August 1998 he made his
Edinburgh debut at the Pleasance theatre, where he was the main
subject of the 6 part TV series Edinburgh or Bust. In 2003 he returned
with “Route 1”, an immediate critical five star success, which was
followed in 2004 by another sold-out show, largely on the back of his
notable performances at the notorious Late ‘n’ Live show.
A large proportion of Stephen’s work in TV and radio. He was the main
comedy writer for Radio 1’s daytime programming from 1999 to 2003 and
has written for everyone there from Zoe Ball to John Peel. Stephen is
also a regular presenter on BBC Southern Counties Radio. Within the
world of TV he has written and presented the BBC2 documentaries
“Stephen Grant’s Journey to the Wasteland”. “The 29 Steps” and “The
Estate We’re In”. More recently his programs “The Brighton Festival”
and “Noise” were broadcast on BBC1. Other performing and guesting
credits include Bognor or Bust, and ITV’s Dan & Dusty show.
As a writer, Stephen is a columnist for Sussex Life and Sniff Petrol.
Additionally, he’s the occasional TV reviewer for the Sunday Mirror.
He also does the TV warm up for many leading network comedy shows.
