  3. Facts and photos from Steve Best's Comedy Snapshot book

Facts and photos from Steve Best's Comedy Snapshot book

Published: Monday 7th April 2014

Comedy Snapshot by Steve Best.Stand-up comic Steve Best has been taking pictures in comedy club dressing rooms for years. He's now collected together a number of his pictures for a book called Comedy Snapshot - it's a great publication which really captures what a diverse and interesting bunch of people travel the country in the quest to make audiences laugh.

The book not only features unique pictures (ranging from A-list stars to those just starting out), it also contains some rather interesting facts too, written by the comedians themselves. Steve has kindly allowed us to share a few of the more surprising facts here:

Sean Lock

"I love to dance. My brother Pete was a soul boy, furry dice style, and used to take me to Northern Soul nights."
Sean Lock, July 2011.

Kitty Flanagan, August 2009.
