“Steve brought the house down at the International Moose Symposium banquet! His stand-up comedy was the perfect blend of sharp wit, moose facts, and hilarious takes on Swedish culture. It was both enlightening and laugh-out-loud funny — a truly unforgettable performance that had everyone in stitches while still feeling oddly educated. A brilliant way to end the evening!”
Christer Kalen, Chair Organizing Committee 9th International Moose Symposium
