Stephen K Amos

WINNER SPIRIT OF THE FESTIVAL AWARD NZ COMEDY FESTIVAL 2005
NOMINEE RICHARD PRYOR AWARD 2004
WINNER BEST STAND UP TIME OUT LIVE AWARDS 2004
An expert at being himself, Stephen K Amos is supremely warm and wickedly funny with an ability to charm onlookers right into the palm of his hand. He creates weird and wonderful connections within his audience who are drawn into his own personal world and thoughts brought to life by his chatty delivery, his ability to become the characters he’s talking about and his fantastic energy and warmth.
PRESS FOR ALL OF ME EDINBURGH Fringe 2006
“Top notch banter… It’s the great show he’s
been promising.”
**** Sunday Times Culture
“Where do you start describing a performer who should really be
given six out of five? Stephen K Amos returns to the fringe with one of
his best shows yet… It’s pure cheek numbing, tear- inducing
entertainment.”
***** The Sunday Express
“Positively luminescent…damn loveable… a master entertainer.”
Metro
“After an hour of this man’s stand up, my cheeks were aching
from grinning so heartily, his humour is that infectious.”
The Scotsman.
“From Stephen’s first words were laughing. And it didn’t
stop. His entire audience laughed and laughed and laughed. I quite literally
wept with laughter. My sides hurt with laughter. I was still laughing
on the bus hoe. That night I woke myself up laughing out loud.”
***** ScotsGay
“Stephen K Amos has so much ebullient, effervescent good cheer…
there is no such thing as a bad hour in Amos’s company.
**** Chortle
“All in all, a cleverly built hour of fun, ending with some thought provoking words from one of the nice guys of comedy at the top of his game.” ****Broadwaybaby.com
“A true master of his art.”
***** One4Review.com

OTHER PRESS
"Stephen K Amos is the embodiment of charisma. From the first minute to the last, he never lets the audience out of the palm of his hand. Amos's show is packed with well-observed material, performed hilariously.
His affection for the audience is the killer blow, culminating in an
all-singing, all-dancing party to which everyone is invited. No one could
possibly have left this feel good show without a beaming smile on their
face. A real stormer"
CHORTLE
"Half the audience would probably be squirming with terror, were
it not for his winning charm and irrepressible charisma. Amos gives the
impression of one born to entertain. He keeps the gags flowing thick and
fast with sharp observations and stories before producing more devastating
one-liners from up his sleeve"
METRO
"A lovely warm manner .......a great performer"
THE TIMES
"This year he has gained in stature, the first black British comic
to really rock the Fringe in years. It's a strong show, with excellent
gags and the finest ending on the Fringe"
SUNDAY TIMES
“One of the best comperes in the business”
