A
veteran Philadelphia radio personality, Steve currently does updates and
Sportsradio 610 WIP. Steve has also done the updates on the Howard Stern
show on WYSP, Co-hosted the morning show on WXTU, did traffic on both
the Nancy Glass and Tom Joyner shows, and sidekick and comedy on ALICE
1045 with Glenn Kalina.
But to regulars of the Comedy
Cabaret chain of laugh lounges, Steve is the hilarious guy who is turning the role of
comedy show MC into an art form. Rather than covet the headliner’s spot on the
traditional three comic bills, Steve has carved out a niche as “Philly’s
MC.”
.....“I prefer to MC
because you go on first, do your time, then do a little more as you bring up the other
acts,” he explains. “The MC’s job is to get the people into a laughing
mood. Since my material is current and quick, I can fit a lot in, as well as play around
with the audience.”

Catch A Rising Star - Press Release
...Steve, whose radio career began at Trenton’s WPST-FM in the early ‘80s,
began doing comedy in the late 1980s. But it wasn't something he took particularly
seriously until he became part of disc jockey Glenn Kalina’s morning-show crew on
Philadelphia’s WXYR-FM in 1999.
One morning, Miss Pennsylvania was a guest on the show, and she was asked to judge a
“beauty contest” whose participants were Steve, Kalina and another male cast
member. For the “talent competition” segment, Steve performed a comedy
monologue. It was such a success he was asked to do one every Friday under the title,
“The Comedy Stylings of Steve Trevelise.”
From that point, Steve dedicated himself to comedy. He studied under favorite Philly funny
man Joey Callahan, and traveled to Los Angeles, where he was a pupil of legendary comedy
writer, Gene Perret, Bob Hope’s head joke-maker. Currently, Steve can be found
virtually every weekend keeping audiences loose in one of the Delaware Valley’s
comedy clubs.
In addition to MCing, he also has opened for such headliners as Gabe “Kotter”
Kaplan and Todd Glass, and is a regular contributor to Stu Bykofsky’s widely read
gossip column in the Philadelphia Daily News.
So, if you ever find yourself asking “What’s so funny?” Now you know:
It’s the comedy of STEVE TREVELISE! |
