Description: Excitable, motormouthed Tigger character, whose mix of friendly banter, observational comedy and silly pedantry keeps him much in demand both as compere and circuit stand-up.

CV: MC for Komedia’s Krater comedy club, Stephen was named best compere in the 2008 Chortle Awards.

Sample gag: On a review that described him as, “The kind of person who dots the ‘i’s and crosses the ‘t’s”: “If you don’t dot the ‘i’s and cross the t’s, you get lots of little ‘i’s… I’ll tell you who isn’t dotting the ‘i’s and crossing the ‘t’s – the Welsh.”

What the critics say: “It’s that kind of hard-to-fake passion and cheeriness that makes comedy-goers warm to him, and is his greatest strength.” – Chortle

Try him if you like: Andy Parsons, Ed Byrne, Dougie Dunlop.
