Steve Calechman says funny things. He’s done it in clubs, bars, zoos, and once on a ladder. If the place has an ark or bin of old yarmulkes, even better. He’s worked with Louis C.K., Sarah Silverman and Steven Wright and was in The Proposal with Sandra Bullock. He’s been a correspondent for the New England Patriots online show, and, for eight seasons, he was the Voice of the Boston Lobsters professional tennis team. He’s twice emceed a Fiddler on the Roof sing-along, come in second on an episode of Jeopardy and is a contributing editor for Men’s Health. Taken together, he knows everything from how Canada is divided up to all 42 state capitals. And if that weren’t enough, Steve grew up in Newton as a hardcore Reform Jew. The guy’s got serious transliteration skills.
