Steven Crowder(II)
- Producer
- Writer
- Actor
Born in the US state of Michigan and raised in Quebec, Canada, Steven Crowder really had nothing
going for him until he turned twelve. It was at that age that he was
awarded the coveted role of voicing the character "The Brain" in the
hit children's TV series,
Arthur (1996). The role immediately
launched him into the realm of "Babe Magnet". With this in mind, he
continued down the path of acting (in both voice, TV and film) until he
came to the realization that he was no longer the cute infant that
Public Broadcasting had learned to love. Now that his baby-fat cheeks
had left him, he knew that he needed a new "hook "to catch the ladies.
Frantically, he searched for the answer until one summer, working as
manual labor for the "Just for Laughs" Comedy Festival, the art of
stand-up comedy caught his eye. He approached a famous comedian and
received advice on how to get started in the business, after which he
was escorted from the premises, fined a hefty sum and brutally beaten.
Once the feeding tube was removed, Steven sauntered on down to a local
comedy club to try his hand at the trade. The throwing of vegetables
and angry screams of the crowd created an incredible "rush", upon which
Steven became immediately addicted and he never looked back. One year
later, at 18 years old, Steven returned to the "Just for Laughs" as the
youngest Comedian ever to grace the festivals stage (breaking the
previous record set by Chris Rock at
19). His act was so well received that coordinators decided to feature
him on XM Radio and booked him on tours across North America. Now,
based out New York City, and fresh off of winning the nationwide "So
you Think You're Funny" MySpace Comedy Contest, Steven Crowder
continues to please both audiences and critics with his unique brand of
comedy and point of view.
