The audience is a big part of the fun. They help create the show.

“Lost for words”
“Comedian” from “Sydney”.Steady Eddy
“Recommends hemp undies”
Steady Eddy was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was nine months old. Some people think this is the reason he didn’t learn to walk until he was five, but, when asked about this, Steady shrugs his good shoulder and says, “I was just pacing myself.” Humor has always been a huge part of his life. It was a coping mechanism to tackle life’s little hurdles. And he did it well. Steady has become a huge stand-up star. But he realises there must be more to life. He’s started wearing tie-dye and hemp undies. He just wants to live in peace and harmony with his fellow humans and Mother Earth, and do his thing at MardiGrass.
