Steve Young was one of the reasons David Letterman was on the air as long as he was. Steve was a writer for Dave's show on NBC and then at CBS, coming up with clever bits from 1990 to 2015. Occasionally, he was even on the show as seen in the clip below. One of Steve's overwhelming interests was and is the subject of Industrial Musicals — shows, often of Broadway caliber and sometimes produced with Broadway pros — performed at trade shows and employee conventions.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch this clip of Steve guesting on Dave's show to promote a book he authored on the subject…
The book was followed by a film called Bathtubs Over Broadway which I recommended to you back in this post. And what's Steve doing now? Well, he's still a much-in-demand writer but he also tours with a live show about his passion and if you're in or near Los Angeles, you can see it on Sunday night, December 3 at Dynasty Typewriter, which is a trendy theater on Wilshire near downtown L.A. A lot of top comedians have been playing there lately.
Tickets, if they aren't already sold out, are available here. And if Los Angeles is just too far for you, Steve will soon be appearing with his show in San Francisco, Hartford and other cities. Keep an eye out on this page to see when he's coming your way. (He's in Asheville, North Carolina next Sunday!)
