And that day job, as a substitute teacher, provides him with an endless stream of material, and the ability to be funny, without being mean. That makes Steve the perfect choice for corporate and association events. His humour has broad appeal, touching on school, relationships, family life and work, but it never crosses the line into offensive or gratuitous. Working from laborious research, Brinder, on stage, displays his insatiable curiosity, his sharp intelligence, and his genuine affection and respect for humanity. “He’s bright, touching … hilarious” says The Toronto Star. “Steve Brinder has the rare talent to make us laugh at ourselves….” Says Downtown Magazine, Rochester New York.
What does Steve Brinder talk about?
Tales From the Class Room: The Comedy of Steve Brinder
Steve Brinder, to get down to it, is hilarious. Cleverly crafted and delivered with impeccable timing, Brinders’s jokes and stories—a lot of them culled from his day job as a substitute teacher—send listeners into fits of hysteria. The universality of his humour hits the right chord for any audience. Whether it’s a corporate audience looking for a break from a long day of meetings, or association members who want to put some punch into a conference program, Steve Brinder delivers. Hailed as one of the funniest comics on the circuit today, he delights audiences with his razor-sharp wit and unique perception of life’s day-to-day events and many absurdities.
His performances are of course ideally suited for education groups, and he can do an entire set devoted entirely to his life as a substitute grade school teacher. He is perfect for teachers who need to hear from someone who knows what life in the classroom is like, and can help them both to laugh at the trials and tribulations of the profession, and be inspired by the impact they have on the lives of our children.
Life is just a Further Extension of the Classroom: Lessons We Have Forgotten Along The Way.
In this speech, which is a blend of comedy, inspiration and practical life lessons, Steve Brinder shares what he has learned from his “clients”, the children he works with in his day job as a substitute elementary school teacher. Some of the very things that companies spend millions of dollars trying to train people to do, most of us already learned, and practiced daily, when we were in grade school. From the importance of listening to others, sharing what we have and being fair, to the progress we can make by paying attention to both our creative and rational sides, Steve touches on some of the most elemental truths to remind us all what it takes to be successful. With a deft touch and down-to-earth sense of humour, he is an ideal guide to the lessons that we all once learned, but have forgotten as time and responsibility have taken their toll. This talk will uplift, inspire and energize any audience.

Steve Brinder has the rare talent to make us laugh at ourselves….
Downtown Magazine, Rochester, New York
His antics have you rolling in laughter. His delivery is natural and witty. He interacts with the audience and everyone feels at home. After he takes you to the brink of happy tears he validates, with insightful reasoning, that what you do in the classroom everyday can make the difference in a child’s life.
