Steven Pearl at Ray's Comedy World

A well-respected comedian whose been compared to a tornado on
amphetamines. His high-energy comedy act is both outrageous and hysterically
original. Born in Far Rockaway, New York, and raised on Long Island, Steven
Pearl has been performing stand-up comedy professionally since 1979. He began
his stand-up career in such prestigious NYC comedy clubs as "Catch A Rising
Star" and "The Improv", moving to San Francisco in 1979. In San Francisco he
immersed himself in the comedy scene and was often performing seven nights a
week. By 1985, he found himself opening for the then up and coming L.A. based
comic Sam Kinison. He eventually discovered a comedian could only go so far in
San Francisco and moved on to Los Angeles in 1987.
In L.A. he was quickly made a paid regular at the world-famous Comedy Store on
Sunset Strip. In his first days there he suddenly found himself following such
legendary comedy acts as Sam Kinison, Richard Pryor and Roseanne Barr. In the
highly competitive world of the 1980s L.A. comedy scene, he held his own and
continued to grow both as a writer and performer.
In the late 1980s he began appearing on numerous TV shows, including "An
Evening at the Improv" and Caroline's Comedy Hour. During this same period he
began touring extensively clubs, colleges, and festivals all across the U.S. and
around the world.
Some of his many credits include writing for and working with such comedic
legends as Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams and Rodney
Dangerfield.
Now living in Las Vegas Steven Pearl continues to push the envelope of both
good taste and sanity. When in Los Angeles, he can usually be seen performing
his "balls-out" brand of frenetic humor in and around town.
