"Very funny... a pretty generous helping of comedy with perhaps a little enlightenment thrown in as well"

–Rob Hurwitt, SF Chronicle

" A terrific physical performer... plenty of laugh-out-loud moments"
–SF Theatre Blog

“A fortune of comedic gold… A sharp and delightfully bizarre satire of the motivational speaker market… Bodden is terrific.”
–Jack Hanley nytheatre.com

Think of it as three days of self-help in about an hour. Comedian Kurt Bodden assumes the role of master motivator Steve Seabrook, who takes the audience to a safe, nurturing place of empowerment where they can look inside their hearts to examine why they're vaguely disappointing. As Steve says, "I don't want to change you. I want to allow you ... to blossom into a "you" ... that's Better Than You."

Steve adds: "You won't be the same afterward. After all, why would you want to be?"

Steve Seabrook: Better Than You enjoyed a sold-out run at last summer's New York International Fringe Festival.

Kurt Bodden is a writer, comedian, and actor. He's a former member of the company at BATS Improv and has performed improv at the Edinburgh Fringe. He recently completed two years of training in physical theater at Flying Actor Studio, and he trained in sketch comedy at The Groundlings in Los Angeles. Bodden has toured as a standup comic and even hosted his own live talk show at the legendary Purple Onion nightclub (complete with interviews, house band and cocktails). His previous solo show was Class Notes: True Tales from Harvard's Alumni Magazine. For more info visit www.kurtbodden.com.



Every performance of "Steve Seabrook" features an improvised Q&A segment. Here's a typical example!
