Johnny Steele started performing stand up comedy in 1984 and within just a few years was performing at top clubs in the industry. From 1997 to 1998 Steele was host of the critically acclaimed Live 105 Morning Radio Show - four hours of gags, humorous banter, and interviews. The San Francisco Chronicle called it the 'best morning chatter show' and both The San Francisco Weekly's annual readers' poll and the San Francisco Publicity Club picked it best show in the city. From 1999 to 2001 Steele was co-host of KRON/Bay TV's The Show. Johnny's informal interview style and outrageous ad-lib comments kept his co-host, guests, and viewers laughing. Johnny and fellow satirist Will Durst just completed their Big Fat Mid-Summer Comedy Tour. The topical sketch and stand up revue is an offshoot of their successful and often sold out Big Fat Year End Kiss Off Comedy Show. Johnny is currently working on a monologue about his journey to find peace in an America gone mad with consumption, sprawl, and tackiness. It's tentatively titled " Slow Food " or " From Sammy and Dean to Krispy and Kreme, " and will debut in fall. Johnny claims to hate fast food and says he hasn't eaten it for more than twenty years. He's been a vegetarian ( " okay, some fish " ) since 1984. Media Quotes " His rapid-fire tirades about socially unconscious Americana are brilliant. " - The Contra Costa Times " An intense comic whose best material grows out of anger at the state of modern American culture. " - San Francisco Examiner " A tidal wave of social and political commentary " - The Sacramento Bee Opening Acts Reggie Steele, Simone Alexander, and Ross Turner The Center for Informed Food Choices Changing the Way People Think About Food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
