"Terrific" - Hugh Laurie
“Funny, emotionally charged… It will speak to your heart.” - Broadway World
“You’re going to run with him all the way. I know I did.” - Orson Bean
If you missed the show when it first played at PRT, or if you loved it and want more, now is your chance too see this wonderful show! UK UNDERDOG is based on true events in a London, Jewish boy’s life. Bullied and humiliated at school, Steve Spiro realizes his strength to move forward; but that ultimately comes at a price. Told with humor and plenty of chutzpah, Steve reveals how the struggles of our past can be a gift to the future and that . . . no matter what . . . never give up!
Steve Spiro was born in London, England. He completed a 2 year Drama program and went on to obtain a place on the "British Stunt Register." (Being the youngest stunt performer on the register at that time). A former amateur boxer, Spiro moved to Los Angeles where he obtained his green card and later became an American citizen. He studied for several years with renown acting coach Larry Moss and is also member of 'The Pacific Resident Theatre' in Venice.
“Steve Spiro is on stage for approximately 65 minutes recounting his early years as young teen being bullied in 1980s England...you will laugh, you will cry, you will shake your head knowingly. Go see this gem!” - Audience Member
“I was blown away by its brilliance. The theme: bullying and overcoming it with charm, grace, perseverance, and talent—grabs us with every heartbreaking and heartwarming millisecond.” – Audience Member
Steve is the co-founder of START Rescue, a nonprofit transport and spay/neuter group.
