About Steve

( wikipedia | imdb | dmoz )
Maybe it's the overacting. Maybe it's the grating voice. Maybe it's the fact that I can't fall for the illusion of cinema when he's on he screen. For me it's as though he were always wearing a clown's red nose. I can never for a moment forget that this is an actor rather than a character This man tries so hard and yet he consistently fails to make me laugh. What's wrong with me? Nothing. We all laugh at different things. Steve Martin just lives in a dimension that doesn't intersect mine.



Steve Martin is said to have been born on Tuesday 14 August 1945, which would make him 78 years, 7 months and 15 days old (if this date is accurate and he is alive today).

I'm not a fan of Steve Martin's (both his acting and stand-up comedy usually tend to leave me cold) but I enjoyed the first part of this show very much. It didn't make me laugh out loud, but at least I got to chuckle while discovering a range of skills I never knew Steve had, from juggling to playing the banjo.

The delivery reminded me very much of George Carlin. If it is the case that Steve was inspired by George, then perhaps it is a shame that he later developed his own style, which never did much for me.

For me, the end of the show was as boring as Steve's usual act. (Last viewed: August 2018)
