Jordan Klepper and Steve Waltien are thrilled to bring their critically acclaimed two-person sketch show to New York City. Named one of the funniest moments of 2008 by Time Out Chicago, Jordan and Steve are Steve and Jordan Respectively is an introspective, empathetic look into what it means to be on the verge of something, looking back on past mistakes, and wondering what’s next. . . through sketch comedy. Funny and honest, biography blends with fiction as Steve and Jordan attempt to address the issues that they encounter looking down the barrel of 30. These issues come to life in scenes, monologues and inner monologues with characters ranging from a pair of astronauts to a bestiality-inclined Sudanese farmer, to two struggling actors.

". . . a practically flawless sketch revue." - Chicago Reader (Critic’s Choice)

"Simple but exceedingly smart, it is among the best sketch shows in Chicago right now." - Chicago Tribune

". . . a crafty, theatrical hybrid of neurotic first-person confessions and top-shelf sketch that borders on performance art…it feels just as dramatically sound, culturally relevant and honest in performance as any contemporary theater piece." –Time Out Chicago
