If you're desperate to make the most of the last few days of Fringe 2024, you've just GOT to fit in AL! The Weird Tribute (and How Daniel Radcliffe Got Mixed Up in This Nonsense). Steve's stage presence is second to none. He creates a hysterical, fun atmosphere for all and I absolutely loved being part of the audience! Thoroughly recommend!! Don't miss it!

Steve's energy and passion is infectious. a perfectly timed comedy and music routine that had me smiling and laughing all the way through. I don't know if being a fan of both Yankovic and Radcliffe myself helped with the comedy but I was fully swept up in the hour of mania and bubbles (strictly for 2 seconds ;) ) Very much worth a visit to anyone looking for the slightly "weird"er side of the Fringe.

This show was definitely weird...but that's what made it so much fun!!! I was laughing nearly the entire show because of Steve's energy, the impressive technical components, and the absurd comedy style I love. This show is perfect for the Fringe. You're going to enjoy yourself!

Kenny Gray 95 days ago

Part Weird Al, Part Daniel Radcliffe, Part total chaos - all completely and wildly entertaining. This show is a creative tour de force of Steve’s musical, comedic, and technical ability. This show is so wonderfully silly and a true memorial to the type of mad cap nonsense that drives the comedy of Weird Al. As a lifelong fan of Weird Al, this show was a true delight and the kind of unique show that makes Fringe so wonderful. There’s no other show like this, so check it out!

Steve's enthusiasm is infectious! He's a great musician, super funny, and really engaging. Plus, his choreography with an on-stage powerpoint has the best timing of anything I've ever seen - super impressive. Whether you're a Weird Al super fan, a Harry Potter-head, or NEITHER, you'll love this show! You can't help but walk away with a smile on your face.

Attending this show is like hanging out with your (super energetic and entertaining) geek friend on a Saturday night. The audience feels warmly welcomed into Steve’s weird and wacky world, which includes special guest “apparences” by Weird Al and Daniel Radcliffe (and Steve’s producer Bob). The show relies heavily on an impressive, interactive AV set up to beam them in, adding another layer of silliness and fun. If you’re into the zany, the offbeat, or PowerPoint presentations, I’d highly recommend.

As someone who had never heard of Weird Al Yankovic, I had no idea what I was walking into with Steve's show, but Steve's genuine enthusiasm and energy pulled me in from when I first walked through the door. The talent in this show is unquestionable, with technology used in a way I've never seen before and an accordion making it's way into the mix! You never knew what was going to happen next after every reveal, quip and song, which created such an exciting sense of chaos. A must see this Fringe!

Hannah Whittingham 103 days ago

Such a warm, silly, fun show. Steve’s command of the tech is super impressive (and super nerdy, in a great way

Claire Walton 104 days ago

There was only 3 of us in the audience but despite this Steve put on an energetic performance which included comedy, singing and accordion playing! If you are looking for a fun way to spend just under an hour then consider seeing this show!

A brilliant show where Steve goodies take the strange concept of weird Al yankovic and Daniel Radcliffe/the Harry Potter movies.) and merges them both together to bring a funny comedy music show which tributes the two talents so we’ll definitely recommend it!

Erika Conway 105 days ago

OMG this show was a whirlwind of insane fun! From start to finish, Steve takes you on a ride that is wildly entertaining and also captivating as you see his genius at work. This show is fast, fun, colourful, and something I’ve never seen anywhere. Perfect fringe show. Go see it. You won’t be sorry!

Issy L 105 days ago

I had an absolute BLAST at Steve’s show. His energy is contagious and my cheeks hurt from smiling so much! Unlike anything I had ever seen before, in the best possible way. The show was full of so much excitement and Steve did a fantastic job engaging the audience. A must see!!

Tom Veck 106 days ago

A really impressive show for so many reasons. Amazing singing, super quick, funny, clever and polished. Amazing use of video throughout the performance with if actually feeling like he was there with two other people at times! Great writing and clearly very well rehearsed.

A non stop frenetic whirlwind of silliness, music, creativity and funniness. Probably better if you’re a weird al fan or a Harry Potter fan but it’s not vital.

Davide ianni 108 days ago

I have never ever ever ever seen a tribute show like this one. It's like Weird Al doing a tribute show for himself. With Daniel Radcliffe! If you're a fan of one of the two, or even both, it's a very funny and very wholesome experience. I was a medium fan of both, now I'm a total fan of Steve.

There’s something extremely ‘Fringey’ about Steve’s show – in that you genuinely won’t see anything like it otherwise.

If you’re in need of cracking writing, slick performance, and sophisticated PowerPoint animation, look no further than this gem.

Starburst Magazine (4/5 stars) 108 days ago

Is this the nerdiest, most technically complex show at this year’s Fringe? We can’t be sure, but it’s certainly a contender for the most unexpected use of an accordion.
