An Evening with Steve Patterson
About
Canadian comedy veteran Steve Patterson is
PatterDad!
Many Canadians recognize the name Steve Patterson. He’s been a crowd favorite since his
first Just for Laughs Gala appearance back in 2004 and as host of the long-running hit show
The Debaters on CBC since 2007.
But what they may not know is how Patterson’s perceptions have shifted since he became a
dad to two precocious daughters. Those new perceptions are on grand display in his new
show which picks up on the themes introduced in his popular book published by Penguin
Random House Canada in 2021 “Dad Up!” From being outsmarted to being outrun to being
outnumbered (current household rankings have him clinging to 6th place in importance behind
his wife, his daughters, their dog, and whichever stuffed animal is most essential in any given
week), Steve struggles to come to terms with the responsibilities of being a dad. But
fortunately for audiences, his struggles are pure comedic delight. Come join this iconic
Canadian comedian on a 90-minute fun ride that will warm your heart, rekindle memories, and
maybe most importantly, will get you out of the house and laughing with strangers. Which,
really, is the best gift families can give to each other.
