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! |
