Steve Hirst

With Dean Boese

All the way from Manchester England, comedian Steve Hirst now performs his crowd pleasing act on American stages nationwide.

Steve's unique brand of humor manages to translate the comical differences between the UK and the US and his act has often been described as a mix between Benny Hill and the movie Snatch.

With impressions, music and a closing bit that will have you falling out of your seat, Steve's roller coaster ride of laughs that will leave you short of breath and begging for more. Get ready American because the new British Invasion of comedy has arrived and it goes by the name of Steve Hirst.

It is an absolutely loud and a rocking good time as party people express their affections to adult humor like never before.

Continuing an over 20 year tradition, The Funny Stop Comedy Club offers amateur comedians an opportunity to receive stage time to open the show on the first scheduled evening of each week.

On Tuesday, December 29th the Funny Stop hosted the finals of its multi-month long "Ohio's Best Amateur Comedian" contest.

The 12 finalists who had each qualified by surviving 3 elimination rounds in the competition each presented their 5 minutes of material in front of the "standing room only" crowd in the Funny Stop showroom.

After short segments by a number of professional comedians who were in attendance, the panel of judges narrowed the field of top amateurs to a final group of six including Boyce Blanchard, Justin Cash, Luca Inairo, Marlon Ivory, Ben Palmer, and Dan Schwartz.

The enthusiastic audience was given a final chance to show their response to each of the remaining contestants. With the audience input included, the final judging returned a unanimous choice of Dan Schwartz as the new "Ohio's Best Amateur Comedian" champion.

Schwartz joins Bryan Birker who won the second contest of 2009 as well as Black and Brenton Biddlecombe who were co-champions in the first competition of 2009 as the big winners this year.

Congratulations to Dan Schwartz, the other members of the top 6, and all of the amateurs who took the stage throughout the months of eliminations in the Funny Stop Comedy Club's "Ohio's Best Amateur Comedian" contest.

A brand new, amateur comedian contest will begin on Tuesday, January 5th.

If you have ever wanted to try your hand at comedy and have 5 minutes of clean material, contact Pete at 330-923-4700 to see if you can be added to one of the Tuesday night amateur line-ups.
