Steen Raskopoulos: Nerves of Steel
battery park

Steen Raskopolous flexes his acting muscles in a unique performance that blends character sketches and stand-up material, leaving audiences eager for more and hopeful to see his ideas developed into a TV show. 

His show unfolds like a dramatic detective series, punctuated by clever, spoof-like advertisements that break up the narrative and add a layer of satire.

Audience participation plays a significant role, with one lucky attendee potentially landing the role of a lifetime as part of the act.

The performer’s quick, dry sense of humor shines throughout the show, with short, snappy gags designed to keep the audience on their toes and fully engaged.

Raskopolous’ comedy is rooted in parody, drawing on familiar television tropes, yet his ability to captivate the audience with witty dialogue and a physically dynamic style of acting sets him apart. 

His skillful blend of humour and performance art not only entertains but also showcases his versatility as a performer.

Steen Raskopoulos: Friendly Stranger, Pleasance Courtyard – Beside, 16:50, Aug 8-9, 11, 13-25
