Steve Mittleman launched his comedy career when he won The Big Laff-Off on Showtime, transforming from struggling performer to headliner overnight. Growing up in Queens, New York, where he played baseball and watched the New York Mets at every opportunity, Steve developed the observational skills that would later fuel his comedy. He holds the rare distinction of appearing on The Tonight Show with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, and has also graced stages on David Letterman, HBO, and Comedy Central.
Steve has accumulated over 100 TV appearances, 50 commercials, and roles in feature films including “Roxanne” (1987) with Steve Martin and Woody Allen’s “Radio Days.” He headlines comedy clubs nationwide, hosts corporate events, private parties, and serves as an auctioneer. Throughout his career, he has worked alongside comedy legends including Leno, Seinfeld, and Ray Romano.
His comedic talent has earned endorsements from the industry’s biggest names. Jerry Seinfeld declares, “Mittleman is always funny!” while Steve Martin simply states, “He’s funny!” Since starting his touring career in 1980, Steve has earned a reputation as one of the best comics around, keeping audiences laughing for over four decades.
