From the moment of his ill-timed birth, through his extraordinarily awkward adolescent phase, to a series of disastrous jobs, Steve has survived decades of tremendously bad timing. He even endured a comically calamitous career at the world’s most notorious magazine. Despite a lifetime of miserable miscues, this tale does have a happy ending.


Steve Belanger is a gifted comedic performer who has honed his craft through theater work, stand-up and continuous improv comedy. He has worked with Oscar-winners, written countless scripts and performed comedy on the country’s most celebrated stages. His work has appeared in several major magazines. He has also spent the majority of the last decade changing diapers and playing Candyland.


Director/collaborator Richard Kline is a Broadway and television veteran (Three’s Company, Mamet’s November)

He has transformed Steve’s work into a finely-tuned comedic tale that everyone can relate to.
