Jackass star on tour

The tour takes in Brighton Coalition on November 7.

“My standup comedy is based on the ridiculousness of my prior addiction problems, behind-the-scenes stories of Jackass, and how fame changed my life - especially my love life,” Steve-O said.

“I also do a variety of outrageous stunts and tricks.”

Steve-O (aka Stephen Glover) has become a household name. It all started when he snatched a video camera from his father’s cupboard when he was 15 years old. From there he started producing homemade skateboarding videos featuring dangerous stunts mixed with comical behaviour.

Stephen was born in London and by the age of 12 had lived in five countries and communicated fluently in three different languages. He holds citizenship in three countries - the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

After finishing school in London and completing a year at the University of Miami, Steve-O realized that college wasn’t for him. He enrolled in Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College with the aim of becoming a professional stuntman. After graduating Clown College, and determined to make it in Hollywood, he began to pitch his home videos to producers.

Eventually, Steve-O’s videos made it into the hands of Jeff Tremaine (Jackass creator/director/producer) who was working with Johnny Knoxville to create a stunt based reality show. MTV aired the first season of Jackass in 2000. Tickets from www.kililive.com.
