Fans all across Canada are already familiar with Steve from his work as host of The Debaters on CBC Radio and Television. Since 2007 he has helped build the show to a weekly following of over 700,000 with his trademark self-deprecating delivery and razor-sharp wit.
But it is on the live stage all by himself where Steve shines brightest. With numerous stand-up gala appearances including the Halifax and Winnipeg comedy festivals and three Just For Laughs, the most recent of which in 2010 earned Steve a Gemini nomination. In fact, after that memorable performance Steve was praised by gala host and comedy icon Steve Martin who said:
“If I knew he was going to be THAT good I would have cancelled him.”
In October and November of 2011, Patterson hosted the Just For Laughs cross Canada theatre tour, introducing Canada to some of the United Kingdom’s funniest wits and leaving audiences across Canada wanting to see more of his comedy.
Now, with his debut 90-minute solo show THIS is Not Debatable! his fans (your patrons) will get just that.
Featuring fact-based comedy, hilarious personal tales and an unsurpassed amount of customization and audience interaction, fans will be treated to a superior live comedy experience they won’t soon forget.
There are many good comedians in Canada. But there is only one officially recognized as Canada’s best male stand-up right now. That is Steve Patterson. And this is not debatable.
