Steve Klasky grew up in Los Angeles and remembers using his early school years as his first stage for entertaining his peers. Always looking for laughs and vying for the attention from the fairer sex, he found theater and drama in high school and became his high school’s most celebrated actor.
In College, beyond simply acting, he also took to learning the technical and theater production sides of the business. Before long he was a union stagehand working on Carol Burnett, Julie Andrews and other television programs. As with most artists, Steve became bored quickly and left a secure job with the Art Department at Rockwell and started a period where he became a beat poet, bartender, magician and working pro and decorated member of the Magic Castle.
As time went on and he found himself married with child, an opportunity came up for him to teach acting and comedy and soon after the Academy of Comedy was born. Steve has been a mensch to me and all my comedy brethren from the first years we met and started working for him and his many comedy rooms, venues and clubs. The only person who ever had a bad thing to say about him is spoken of toward the end of the podcast. Please welcome to our mics, Steve Klasky
