Steal the Show Comedy Stars

Comedy Stars vol.2: Stephen Carlin (Scotland)

«Steal the Show» aims to bring top international comedy talent to Russia, giving local audiences a chance to see foreign quality acts live in their cities.

Our November Comedy Star, is one of Stewart Lee’s «10 best stand-up comedians ever», the brilliantly funny Stephen Carlin (Scotland)!

As recently seen on BBC’s Comedy Underground. Stephen Carlin has gained critical acclaim and a growing fan base with his original, insightful material and his accomplished delivery. He is increasingly expanding his following on the international comedy scene performing this year across Asia, Europe and North America.

Chosen as one of Stewart Lee’s «Ten Best Stand Up Comedians Ever» Carlin has supported Stewart Lee, Stephen Merchant & Tom Stade on their national tours.

As always, Carlin’s art lies in his ability to quarry wildly original material from the most conventional of starting points. By taking run-of-the-mill observations and then applying his relentless but warped logic. This married to his exceptional use of language and his brilliantly opinionated broadsides make for memorable routines.

Stephen is an experienced comedy writer and has written for many BBC Radio Shows including the Now Show and the Newsquiz. He is the author of a Comedy Blog, which hilariously exposes the many facets of a life lived in comedy.
