Steve Day
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.
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.
