Steve Hofstetter

Steve Hofstetter brings his stand-up to the Funny Bone in Kansas City on Monday, April 19, 2027, at 7 PM. He's a Queens, New York native who wears a few different hats—author, columnist, and comedian—and has built a reputation as one of the hardest working men in show business. If you've never seen him, his style is sharp, observational humor delivered with a rapid-fire pace that leans into topical subjects.

He's been around the national television circuit for a while. His debut was on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith spent three minutes yelling at him—a start that pretty much sets the tone for the kind of energy he brings. Since then, he's appeared on CBS's Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, Showtime's White Boyz in the Hood, VH1's Countdown, Sundance's On the Road in America, and ABC's Barbara Walters Special.

Beyond the late-night spots, he's one of YouTube's most popular comics, with more than 225 million views and half a billion more on Facebook. He's also spent time behind the scenes and in the host's chair, hosting Finding Babe Ruth on FS1 and serving as both host and executive producer of Laughs on FOX. He's sold out shows in hundreds of cities and dozens of countries, so he's well-versed in playing for different crowds.

It's a Monday night show, which is a bit of a change of pace from the usual weekend comedy run. The set starts at 7 PM at the Funny Bone in Kansas City, MO.
