As seen on Comedy Central’s “The Alternative Comedy Experience” and heard on BBC Radio Four’s “Andrew O’Neil: Pharmacist Baffler”, Stephen Carlin has gained critical acclaim and a growing fan base with his original, insightful material and his accomplished delivery.
A regular performer on both the UK comedy circuit and the international comedy scene, this year Stephen has performed in New York, Pakistan, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Poland & Luxembourg.
Chosen as one of Stewart Lee’s “Ten Best Stand Up Comedians Ever” Stewart Lee, Stephen Merchant, Tom Stade & Felix Dexter 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, he constructs towers of comic artistry. This married to his exceptional use of language and his brilliantly opinionated broadsides make for memorable routines. All skilfully delivered in his deadpan Scottish brogue.
He is a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival most recently in 2018 with his solo show "The Opinionater".
His writing credits include the Now Show and the Newsquiz and he is the author of a Comedy Blog, which hilariously exposes the many facets of a life lived in comedy.
