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 is now establishing himself as a
regular 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 2002
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.
