I once read somewhere. Work so hard everyone’s biggest brag is that they used to know you. That’s what these shows felt like. @stephtolev opened for @wilfredburr at @scotiabankarena then came and played 3 sold out shows @comedybarto This gesture alone is a testament to the duality that is ever present in her comedy. On stage she is ruthless,wild, unafraid to be uncomfortable and angry largely about the inconveniences of life and woman hood. Off stage she is a humble, driven person who never passes up a chance to work and loves her dog and sister with her whole heart. It was wild to see a comic actually on top of their game. Stadium level on top of their game. There is a Burr infused American brashness to this phase of Steph. She has traded in her Canadian Tuxedo for a leather dress. Yet there remains an endearing indelible quality. My first inclination Steph was going to be a very successful comic was when w I would talk to other non comedy girls in the wild. They always remembered her jokes even if they they couldn’t remember her name. I think that’s because Steph is a friend to people in her comedy. A humor that comes out of being exactly who you are no matter who is watching. I always say I miss having a bad day and seeing Steph do a good set. . . . . . #stephtolev #friendswhokill #netflix #comedybar #canadiancomedy #standupcomedy #lastandup #femalecomic #dipthelips #artsandculture #nikond3400 #50mm #modernhumor #youngemodernlaughs (at Comedy Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch-mZFXv4cg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
