Steffen Peddie + Support - Saltburn Arts

Another monthly comedy at Saltburn theatre with another cracking line up

Steffen Peddie

Steffen is a versatile entertainer from Newcastle Upon Tyne, has captivated audiences as a stand-up comedian, pro wrestler, actor, BBC radio host, Santa Claus, and swing band singer. With a career sparked by his first joke told at age 13, Steffen has tapped into a wealth of experiences to fuel his comedy. As a father of four, he draws from a rich tapestry of life's hilarity and shows no signs of slowing down.

His initial foray into comedy led him to support roles on children's TV, but the lure of professional wrestling took him down a path of high-flying antics and theatrical showdowns for a decade. A momentous performance at Viz Magazine's 25th- anniversary celebration marked his pivot back to comedy, leading to a successful re- entry into stand-up.

His return to the spotlight was met with acclaim, most notably through a starring role in the BBC sitcom Hebburn, which won hearts domestically and internationally. Steffen's dynamic presence extends beyond acting, having hosted on radio and participated in numerous TV adverts and short films.

He holds the audience's attention throughout and leaves the stage with me wanting more- BBC
