REVIEWS:
August 2008: Edinburgh Fringe
Alex Petty,
Producer Laughing Horse Comedy "Steven
Young is a big American, with long hair and a powerful presence
and big voice – imagine Meatloaf doing stand-up - who commands
his audience from the stage with ease and produces an hour comedy
show that feels every bit rock'n'roll as comedy. I've seen Steve
many times at my own shows doing 20 minute sets, but this was
the first time I'd seen his full hour show and it was an impressive
performance,"
13, April 07: Heresy at the Jekyll and Hyde
Tom Maxwell-critic, Evening News (Edinburgh) "Larger
than life."
13, April 07: Your Review - excerpts from the Evening
News (Edinburgh)
Dominic James-musician,"The American guy was the best!"
Darren Beatty-stockroom controller, "I liked the American
guy. He was really funny."
10 August, 06: Edinburgh Fringe "A
Failure on Two Continents"
John Fleming, Chortle: "Young is an accomplished, successful,
almost effortless stand-up…good, solid, confident, funny...
See him while there are still free seats."

Reviews
from K’nuts Club-Peterborough.
WOW!!! We have had Steve at K’nuts before…every
time it is a completely different set. This man is a comic genius…If
this man was on TV I would stay at home and switch on the normally
disappointing box."
Saturday 23rd June 20007
“This man was on fire.”
Friday 16th March 2007
“He's not just funny - he's dangerously persuasive.”
Thursday 8th December 06
"…he hit the stage running…his presence
dominated the room…had half the audience wetting itself and
the other half slack jawed…funniest set they'd seen all year."
Friday 18th November 06
"…a stage presence that is awesome. He grabbed the
audience and didn't let go. Funny, topical and frighteningly loveable…a
top act."
