Steffen Peddie
99 Problems And The Chips Still Ain’t One
On Tour
Steffen
Peddie is a Stand up comedian from Newcastle upon Tyne. He told his first joke
on stage at 13 in his local youth club and has continued doing so since.

After
minor success on the fledgling comedy circuit and appearing as comedy support
with Ross Noble on two different National Kids Saturday Morning TV Shows he
took a break from Stand Up and turned his time to becoming a professional
wrestler.
Ten
years of bending bones, wearing lycra in public and various chair shots took
its toll on Steffen. After performing at the Café de Paris in London in front of a star
studded audience as part of Viz Magazines 25th Anniversary party he decided to
call it a day and retire from the world of grappling.
After
a conversation with other comedians he decided to try stand up again “for a few
shows” to see if it would be fun. Ten years later he has not stopped and has
matured as an act with his time away.
Success
has come his way in the form of a roll in the main cast of Jason Cooks BBC sitcom “Hebburn”. The
award winning show ran for two series and a Christmas Special, and is still
much loved by the public, both in the UK and with large
international success.
Acting
has continued with a number of TV adverts and short films, including Alan
Moore’s (writer of Watchmen, The League of Gentlemen, V for Vendetta) first
film “His Heavy Heart” as well as hosting Metro Radio and TFMs “NIGHTOWLS”
phone in show as the regular guest host when Alan Robson is away. Steffen
recetly covered for Alfie Joey on the BBC Radio Newcastle
Breakfast Show.
On
top of this he is a proud member of The Geordie Rat Pack alongside Jason Cook,
Glen Roughead and Neil Grainger. The four perform along with a fifteen piece
band and play Swing classics in their own style. After a string of sell out
shows at Newcastle City Hall, The Sage Gateshead,
Customs House and Stand Newcastle, more are to be announced to a keen
audience.

PEDDIE TOUR SHOW “99 PROBLEMS AND THE CHIPS STILL AINT ONE”

Last
year Steffen Peddie undertook his first tour, with a show that’s a step away
from the normal Stand Up shows.
The
show was entirely created from the audience’s suggestions and improvised on the
night, so it’s a comedy tightrope walk as anything can be asked!
The
shows format is that the audience write the “Problems” and Steffen has to solve
them, making it a different show every time.
The
show ran twenty two times in 2015 to a great success. So for 2016, a swift
title change and fresh advertising and its back on the road!
With
three shows this year so far, he has managed to cover varying topics from “Who
picks up guide dog poo” “Why don’t sheep shrink in the Rain” “Why is my partner
sleeping with my brother” - Read the
North East Theatre Guide review of one of these shows: http://nomorepanicbutton.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/review-99-problems-and-chips-still-aint.html
The
tour is entirely self financed and is playing venues large and small, from
large regional Theatres to Village Halls as well as Comedy Festivals along the
way.
