Steve McNeil

PRAISE FOR HIS ROLE IN "BRENDON BURNS: SO I SUPPOSE THIS IS OFFENSIVE NOW?"
Winner of the IF.Comedy (formerly The 'Perrier' Award) Best Show, 2007
Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Glasgow Comedy Festival, London West-End Run and Montreal "Just For Laughs" Festival

Steve McNeil's restrained, authentic and provocative performance is the key turn in a hilarious comedy which unveils itself to be rich, powerful and challenging theatre. * The finale to the show was absolutely brilliant: A comedy masterpiece, ** a fascinating moment of moral tension, *** a psycho-comedic orgasm! ****

"No matter how many women hit him or cried for his welfare as he shed real tears, he kept on going. There's playing to the back of the room and then there's convincing someone sitting right next to you that what is happening is real and whether it was 200 or a thousand-seater venue, Steve did that night in and night out.

Steve has comic timing and instincts that cannot be taught. I say this with no hyperbole: I could not have won the award without him." *****
