Steve Hughes, known to the world as the cutting edge stand up comedian who pulls no punches, was one of the leading lights of the early heavy metal scene in Australia. In 2021 things have come full circle for Steve Hughes. Musician, comedian and back to musician. Although anyone who is a fan of Hughes knows the two are inextricably linked. ‘Heavy Metal Comedy’ was the name of one of his official comedy releases after all, but the themes in Steve’s comedy have always been aligned with some of those that are deeply rooted in heavy metal lyrics. Tyranny, globalism, oppression, the NWO, you know, all the good conspiracy stuff. While making people laugh Hughes never lost his metal roots and eventually crafted the songs for his debut record ‘Alone But For The Breath Of Beasts’, which will soon be available on vinyl.

He delivers his routines with a confronting edge, often challenging societal norms and health policies in a way that's both alarming and hilariously on-point, making audiences rethink the status quo without pulling punches.
I first came across his hilarious work a number of years ago, when he appeared on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow.
