~ Steve N Allen ~
"Allen hits the mark, with an effusive mix of biting satire and gleeful mud-slinging that recalls Russell Howard by way of Ian Hislop. More than worth a look."

Biography:
Steve N Allen stars as a regular member of the news-desk team on “Late Night Mash” - UKTV/Dave (formerly "The Mash Report") (2017 - ).
He is also an experienced comedian and host who is at home anywhere on the bill, with a warm and upbeat act that soon connects with any audience.
His material ranges from an observational look at life to up to date topical comedy - or shows solely based on the interaction with the crowd.
