Fun fact: Stephen K. Amos was the first person I ever answered with when asked: 'if you could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, who would it be?'. This show exemplifies exactly why.
Stephen K Amos is back at the Adelaide Fringe, and even as a “work in progress”, he’s as sharp, charismatic, and effortlessly funny as ever. With decades of experience, he doesn’t need a tightly scripted show to have an audience in stitches—his natural wit and quick-fire crowd work are enough to keep the room roaring.
As the show title suggests, this is a chance to witness Stephen’s comedic genius as it evolves. Some jokes hit the mark perfectly to be used on stages around the globe, whereas other will make like Voldemort and never be spoken of again - but that’s all part of the fun. These moments of experimentation feel like a peek behind the curtain, where the hits will no doubt become future staples in his repertoire, and the misses will quietly fade into comedic history. It adds a layer of intimacy to the performance, as though you're a trustworthy friend - and you'll certainly never be lacking for laughter.
This limited-run show is a playground for fresh material, new ideas, and the kind of spontaneous, off-the-cuff comedy that makes live stand-up so electric. Amos bounces between self-deprecating humor, cultural commentary, and pure, joyous silliness, all delivered with his trademark warmth and charm. Whether he’s riffing on his screen time in I'm a Celeb, or Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, or simply taking the audience on a wild tangent, it all feels delightfully effortless.
Be part of the action, and experience Stephen K Amos’ wonderful sense of humor first-hand. It’s a night of unfiltered hilarity with a comedy master at work.
