Steady Eddy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steady Eddy is the stage name of Christopher Widdows, an Australian comedian and actor with Cerebral palsy. Initially, Widdows used his disability as the basis for his comedy. Having since made a name for himself, he has branched out, so that seeing him perform isn't merely a sequence of non-politically correct gags that only a differently abled comic could make about himself. Rather, as with all good established comics who have found their voice, it's a look at the world through his eyes.
In 1994, Steady Eddy appeared at the Just for Laughs comedy festival, which was broadcast nationally in Canada on the Comedy Network and in the United Kingdom on the BBC.[1]
In 2004, Eddy co-starred as Trevor in the Australian made comedy Under the Radar alongside upcoming Aussie actors Nathan Phillips, Chloe Maxwell and Clayton Watson.
Chris: "One time I won a rap dancing competition. I didn't even enter. All I did was walk into the bar. I smoke 40 times a day. The reason I smoke so much is because I drop 30". "I had lots of girlfriends, I thought it was my personality, then I figured out all they wanted was the good parking spot."
