Having tackled many things in his career, making an audience laugh is the thing [Steven] enjoys most of all.
“I decided I wanted to be a comedy actor at the age of six,” smiles Steven. “At that time I was living with my parents in Brighton and my brother, Peter, was already starting in the business. By the age of eight, I was taking lessons at the Florence Moore Theatre Studio in Brighton where we put on one or two productions. I thought it was teriffic. I loved having an audience to play to.”
