About Stephen Colfer
Stephen Colfer: Stephen Jobs is a stand-up show in which Stephen Colfer, creator of Dreamgun Film Reads, looks back on twenty years of taking side jobs to support his main job — comedy. The show spans alphabetising CDs, demoing tech that does not work, saying one line in two films, and having one hundred trainee doctors practise on his ears. Throughout, Stephen asks the question: where does Stephen end, and jobs begin? Running 60 minutes at Den, it is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Stephen Colfer has a gift for finding comedy in the mundane specifics of side-job life. Twenty years of oddly relatable employment stories, told by the creator of Dreamgun Film Reads — a stand-up hour with genuine personality.
