STEVEN J WHITELEY

Steven J Whiteley began performing comedy as a hobby over twenty years ago, and transitioned to being a professional full time comedian in 2013. He has performed across Australia, headlining & MCing with his unique style of observational & musical comedy, and true-life story telling. He has released two successful full-length feature DVDs, one in 2012 titled “And Another Thing” and his second in 2016, “You Can’t Say That”. Having worked alongside some of the biggest names in comedy over the years, including the likes of Billy Connelly, Stephen K Amos & Ed Byrne, Steven has honed his craft & wit, fine tuning his act further over the last seven years whilst performing on international cruise ships. His down-to-earth take on everyday life resonates with audiences everywhere.

Quite simply – he’s short (about 5’6”), sharp and highly relatable. He’s not to be missed.
