"Philly's MC is also Jersey's Emcee": STEVE TREVELISE

Did you hear the one about the radio personality who’s also a top stand-up comic?

Meet STEVE TREVELISE, who spends his weekdays on WIP and nights performing standup comedy at Catch A Rising Star in the Princeton Hyatt where he is not only House Emcee but now General Manager as well! Steve also owns of one of the Jersey Shore's top comedy clubs Coffee Dot Comedy www.coffeedotcomedy.com

A veteran Philadelphia radio personality, Steve currently does updates and Sportsradio 610 WIP. Steve has also done the updates on the Howard Stern show on WYSP, Co-hosted the morning show on WXTU, did traffic on both the Nancy Glass and Tom Joyner shows, and sidekick and comedy on ALICE 1045 with Glenn Kalina.

But to regulars of the Comedy Cabaret chain of laugh lounges, Steve is the hilarious guy who is turning the role of comedy show MC into an art form. Rather than covet the headliner’s spot on the traditional three comic bills, Steve has carved out a niche as “Philly’s MC.”

.....“I prefer to MC because you go on first, do your time, then do a little more as you bring up the other acts,” he explains. “The MC’s job is to get the people into a laughing mood. Since my material is current and quick, I can fit a lot in, as well as play around with the audience.”

Catch A Rising Star - Press Release

...Steve, whose radio career began at Trenton’s WPST-FM in the early ‘80s, began doing comedy in the late 1980s. But it wasn't something he took particularly seriously until he became part of disc jockey Glenn Kalina’s morning-show crew on Philadelphia’s WXYR-FM in 1999.

One morning, Miss Pennsylvania was a guest on the show, and she was asked to judge a “beauty contest” whose participants were Steve, Kalina and another male cast member. For the “talent competition” segment, Steve performed a comedy monologue. It was such a success he was asked to do one every Friday under the title, “The Comedy Stylings of Steve Trevelise.”

From that point, Steve dedicated himself to comedy. He studied under favorite Philly funny man Joey Callahan, and traveled to Los Angeles, where he was a pupil of legendary comedy writer, Gene Perret, Bob Hope’s head joke-maker. Currently, Steve can be found virtually every weekend keeping audiences loose in one of the Delaware Valley’s comedy clubs.

In addition to MCing, he also has opened for such headliners as Gabe “Kotter” Kaplan and Todd Glass, and is a regular contributor to Stu Bykofsky’s widely read gossip column in the Philadelphia Daily News.

So, if you ever find yourself asking “What’s so funny?” Now you know: It’s the comedy of STEVE TREVELISE!
