A full three decades into his stand-up career, Tim Steeves is — at long last — releasing his debut album, American Portions. Although in his defense, he’s been a pretty busy guy. As Canada’s cultural statesman of comedy, Tim has spent the past 20 years as a senior writer for The Rick Mercer Report (Canada’s Daily Show-eque program) and This Hour Has 22 Minutes (the country’s venerable news/sketch hybrid show). If that weren’t enough, he’s made countless appearances at various worldwide comedy festivals — including Just for Laughs — and recently appeared on Louis C.K.’s comedy tour.
Two decades of penning award-winning satire have only sharpened Tim’s bite. He describes American Portions as “A mix of personal stuff and observations on the current state of things.” No subject is off limits, including sex, drugs, marriage, aging, Canadian culture, and yes, the dreaded N-word.
