Stephen Andrew Lynch (born July 28, 1971), is an American comedian, musician and Tony Award-nominated actor who is known for his songs mocking daily life and popular culture. Lynch has released three studio albums and three live albums along with a live DVD. He has appeared in two Comedy Central Presents specials and starred in the Broadway adaptation of The Wedding Singer. Stephen released a new double-disc (Studio & Live) album, Lion, on November 13, 2012. Most recently, Stephen released a live concert video called "Hello Kalamazoo" available on Vimeo.
Lynch was born in Abington, Pennsylvania. His family later moved to Saginaw, Michigan. Lynch would perform in community theatre and musical theatre while attending Arthur Hill High School and The Center for Arts and Sciences. He received a theater scholarship to attend The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. before transferring in 1990 to Western Michigan University where he graduated with a BA in drama in 1993. At Western Michigan University, he began to write comedic songs.
Considering himself a musician first and a comedian second, Lynch cites singer/songwriters Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell as his childhood inspirations, rather than comics. He was inspired to go into show business after seeing the mockumentary This is Spinal Tap. The first song that he wrote was a country song titled "Beefy Burrito."
