Stephen Hamilton is a Glasgow-born comedian, writer, and published author. The funny Scotsman has spent several years writing and performing comedy as well as writing for and co-writing with other comedians worldwide.

He is currently the comedy writer and editor at Dafty News: http://www.daftynews.com/

He said of comedy: “Comedy doesn’t always need to be of a high quality and standard. Just perform it in front of an audience who have a very low opinion of themselves and an even lower self-esteem; and who are clearly suffering from a multitude of personal issues and carrying a lot of life’s baggage. They’ll laugh at anything – they have to.”

Stephen lists his influences as George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Sam Kinison and Doug Stanhope.
