Biography
Stephen’s performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the past decade and it was on that celebrated stage in 2006 he came out as gay to his audience in the All of Me show. As well as touring the UK in early 2009 with his hugely popular show Find the Funny and the sell-out national tour The Feel Good Factor, Stephen’s been a key squabbler in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s Great Debate since making his debut in 2006. Being well rehearsed at getting the audience on his side, Mr Amos is a perfect fit for the art of debating. No he isn’t. See what we did there…
After successful stints Down Under, Amos went on to New Zealand, where he won Best International Comedian at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, proving that Australia and New Zealand can at least agree on one thing – Amos has the gift of the gab, mate!
Not content with simply taking to the stage as a stand up comic, Stephen hosted The People’s Music Awards in 2010 as well as appearing in EastEnders, on Soccer AM and as a contestant on Celebrity Mastermind. But it’s his stand up that’s marked Stephen out as one of the brightest and best loved acts on the circuit, as well as making him one of the few comedians to have appeared on the Royal Variety Performance in 2007, proving he was funny by Royal Approval.
Stephen’s own show for the BBC, The Stephen K Amos Show, was axed but having received warm feedback from various people in relation to his racial and political comments, including the ground-breaking and risky documentary he made about homophobia in Jamaica, Stephen’s sure to continue to use comedy to inspire and empower people. Or, in his own words, to carry on his slide towards going “all Oprah”.
