There are very few comedians who can boast a University degree, a post-graduate diploma in Media Copywriting, international performing experience and national television specials taped each year since 2002. In fact, including Steve Patterson, there is only one.The host of CBC Radio One’s hit show The Debaters with over 400,000 listeners weekly, Steve has been a full-time comedian since losing his full-time copywriting job for making an ad about an amusement park “too amusing” in 1996.
His performance stops have included every province and major city in Canada (and most of the minor ones). He has also performed throughout Ireland, The United Kingdom and The United States with bookings as far off as Dubai and Australia. In addition to solo club and theatre performances, Steve has shared the stage with top comedians from around the world at the Just For Laughs, Halifax, Winnipeg and Cracker (Sydney, AUS) Festivals. His published humour articles have appeared in The Toronto Star, The Montreal Gazette and The Irish Independent among many others. He has also written ad copy for Molson, Labatt and the Diageo Group including Smithwick’s Beer and Smirnoff Vodka (when it comes to alcohol product knowledge he is a relentless researcher).
Most importantly for prospective clients, Steve is among the elite of corporate comedians in North America. He has appeared as Master of Ceremonies, after-dinner keynote speaker or simply as his comedic self on over 500 occasions including the award-winning "Investor's Group Comedy Tour" where he has now performed in over 40 theatres throughout Canada.
His dedication to customized writing and performance is unparalleled as is his willingness and ability to work with organizers and incorporate audiences into shows in a dignified rather than derogatory manner.
Simply put, Steve Patterson is at the very top of his game and his game is making your event the most memorable, successful and suitably hilarious that it can be.
In addition to regularly performing stand-up comedy for corporate events, Steve offers a customized version of "THE DEBATERS" written specifically for your company.
