About Steve Gallas
Steve Gallas is an American stand-up comedian, writer and producer, originally from Cleveland, Ohio, who is based in Seoul, South Korea.

Gallas regularly performs and hosts comedy open mics at Lit Lounge in Itaewon, and in May 2025 he presented his special "Scenario" at the same venue, built from material he had been consciously developing for a little over a year.
