Biography for
Steven Pearl
Comedian, writer, director, air-guitarist extraordinaire!
A well-respected comedian whose been compared to a tornado on
amphetamines. His high-energy comedy act is both outrageous and
hysterically original. Born in Far Rockaway, and raised on Long
Island New York. Steven Pearl has been performing stand-up comedy
professionally since 1979. He began his stand-up career in such
prestigious NYC comedy clubs as
Catch
A Rising Star and
The Improv, moving to San Francisco
in 1979. In San Francisco he immersed himself in the comedy scene and
was often performing seven nights a week.
By 1985, he
found himself opening for the then up and coming L.A. based comic
Sam Kinison.
He eventually discovered a comedian could only go so far in San
Francisco and moved on to Los Angeles in 1987. |

In
L.A. he was quickly made a paid regular at the world-famous Comedy Store
on Sunset Strip. In his first days there he suddenly found himself
following such legendary comedy acts as
Sam Kinison,
Richard Pryor
and
Roseanne.
In the highly competitive world of the 1980s L.A. comedy scene, he held
his own and continued to grow both as a writer and performer. In the late
1980s he began appearing on numerous TV shows, including _A & E's An
Evening at the Improv (1985)_ , and
Caroline's Comedy
Hour
(1989). During this same period he began touring extensively clubs,
colleges, and festivals all across the U.S. and around the world.
Some of his many credits include writing for and working with such
comedic legends as
Sam Kinison,
Bill Hicks,
Jim Carrey,
Robin Williams
and
Rodney Dangerfield.
A true journeyman comic, Steven Pearl continues to push the envelope of
both good taste and sanity. When in Los Angeles, he can usually be seen
performing his balls-out brand of frenetic humor at the
Comedy Store and the
IceHouse Annex in Pasadena. |

Quote Steven Pearl
I can't believe that out of 100,000
sperm, you were the quickest.
When I was young we didn't have MTV. We had to take drugs and go to
concerts.
I phoned my dad to tell him I had stopped smoking. He called
me a quitter. |
