Stand-up spotlight: Steven Farmer

Austin invades Denver! Meet STEVEN FARMER.

My name is Steven Farmer and I’m a comedian based in Austin Texas after finally escaping Arkansas. I’ve been doing this here stand up comedy for 2 years and in that time have been a finalist in Funniest Person in South Texas Contest, Semi-Finalist in the Funniest Person in Austin Contest, and performed in the Out of Bounds Comedy Festival. I also wrote, directed, and starred in a feature film called ‘Late Bloomer’ that has recently been sold to Echelon Studios. That’s enough self-hype for now, just come watch me perform.

Laugh Track: How long have you been a stand-up comic?

Steven: 2 years

What other comics will you be watching during the festival?

Ashley Barnhill definitely. She’s been really exploding in the scene and is killing it on twitter.

If you could give yourself advice when you first started out, what would it be? (more…)

Hey dino lovers!  It’s IAN DOUGLAS TERRY!
is a “weird shaped dude who wears sleeveless shirts and shouts things at people”… and that is the essence of his comedy.  He is fond of eating in the bath tub and reading books about dragons. Ian has opened for Doug Benson, Kyle Kinane, Brody Stevens, Tig Notaro, Howard Kremer, and Neil Hamburger. None of these people disliked him outwardly.
Laugh Track: How long have you been a stand-up comic?
I have been a comedy attempter for almost four years now, at first I was more interested in video based sketch comedy but finally fell in love with stand-up.
What other comics will you be watching during the festival?
I’m already a fan of Ben Roy, Adam Cayton-Holland,  Andrew Orvedahl, Sam Tallent, and Chris Charpentier…and of course my partner in OK Party, Zach Peterson.  I’m going to try and watch everyone though, good times.
