Steve Flye Biography
Steve Flye was born in Houston, Texas, on May 31, 1972, and to this day is the only child of Dora and Steve, as far as he knows. Being on stage always came easy for this 10-year comedy vet as a result of his childhood. Flye was selected at the age of five to star in one of the local CBS affiliate's 60-second commercials for Black History Month. After successfully auditioning for The Singing Boys of Houston, a professional choir, Flye toured with that group for four years and became accustomed to life on the road.
A former college scholarship athlete and graduate, Flye, as most call him, began working at Houston's Laff Stop in 1997. Within that same year, he found himself advancing all the way to the final four in Houston's Funniest Person Contest. He focuses his comedy on molding the realities of life into a surprisingly clever mix of bluntness and laughter.
Moving to Los Angeles, California, in 1998, life on the road soon turned into simply life for Mr. Flye. Touring with some of comedy's biggest names, he quickly showed his worth the way he handles an audience as a host with original, clever, and thoughtful material. He currently appears at all the top comedy clubs in Los Angeles such as the Improv, the Laugh Factory, and the Ice House. The ease with which he commands the stage places audiences in a laughter induced trance and has made him one of the nation's most sought- after talents. He has been seen on numerous television shows such as BET's Comicview, Loco Comedy Jam, and CSI: Las Vegas, as the crime scene.
Traveling the globe in connection with the USO, he has thrilled thousands of United States troops and servicemen by bringing what's really going on at home to them overseas. "Performing for the troops is great! There's no more deserving or appreciative audience than the heroic men and women fighting for our freedom."
A single father of boys, Flye explains how child support has been a major influence throughout his life. "I want to pay it, but I owe child support and my daddy still owes me!" It's easy to see how this Texas native provides laughs that cross racial, ethnic, and international borders. Okinawa, Japan, or Pico Rivera, California, Flye leaves every audience with laughter that's real and are assured to feel forever.
He is working on a sketch comedy venture in connection with Def Jam South as well as his second comedy CD, Flye Definition. His first CD, Serious Bid'ness Ma'an, is currently available on various websites including www.flyebynite.com. He currently hosts a show at one of comedy's hottest venues appropriately titled Flye Comedy. He packs his shows on the promise of one ingredient, FUNNY! Flye's razor-sharp wit, impeccable timing, and God-given talent are set to make him one of comedy's hottest new faces in 2009!
