Bruner’s unique comic sensibility has landed him work as a writer for several TV shows including, Fox TV’s Haywire. Steve has also provided monologue material for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Laugh.com (a website formerly owned by George Carlin) sums it up perfectly: “Steve Bruner is a great guy. He is also one of the most successful comedians in the business. You can see him regularly in clubs, on television and on cruise ships. Clean, smart and funny define Steve.”
Special guest Tim Northern appeared as a finalist on the nationally televised Star Search; Naomi Judd raved about his performance: “He’s the only one that could be a member of Mensa,” she said. “I absolutely adore the cerebral humor.”
Noted intellectual (and former game show host) Ben Stein agreed with her assessment, adding his own accolade, “I love that fact that he assumes his audience has a brain!”
Coming from an Ivy League presidential pundit, that’s high praise indeed for someone who never set foot in college.
“It was a great moment,” Northern says. And it’s exactly the response he’s hoping for each and every time he takes the stage. “That’s what I’m striving for. I provide you with two-thirds of the joke, and you provide the other third. It’s like ‘do-it-yourself’ comedy.”
Northern has also appeared on Last Comic Standing in 2014, and has opened for such comedians as Rodney Carrington, Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White.
