Steve Young

About Steve Young

I’m a veteran comedy writer (Letterman, The Simpsons) who, in addition to developing TV and film projects and performing live, loves bringing my smart, surreal comedic sense to corporate gigs - whether writing or speaking. Emmy nominations, various awards. Along the way I accidentally discovered the hidden world of “industrial musicals”: Broadway-style shows created for company meetings. My hobby of collecting the rare souvenir records led to writing a book and then starring in the acclaimed documentary “Bathtubs Over Broadway.” Inspired by creative professionals who use their talents in the business world, I’ve joined them. In recent years I’ve not only spoken at corporate events, I\'ve created comedy material for companies like Salesforce, Subway, jet.com, Ugly Stik fishing equipment — even LinkedIn. I’m ready to help clients and companies add sharp, on-topic comedy wherever needed. My years at Letterman taught me to find unexpected comedic angles, to write and revise fast, and to enjoy collaborating with talented, passionate people. And I can sing all the songs from the 1969 American-Standard plumbing fixture musical, “The Bathrooms Are Coming.” PERSONAL WEBSITE: steveyoungworld.com EXPERTISE: Comedy writing, script writing, joke writing, video scripting, creative consulting, songwriting, branded content, keynote addresses, in-person entertainment
