About Me


The little "funny" guy

C. Stephen Foster at The Comedy Store
Add to My Profile | More Videos I'm five feet tall and very funny and GAY.
People compare me to Leslie Jordan a LOT. Which I hold up as an honor as I think he's BRILLIANT.
I love to make people laugh. I'm an actor/writer who has written plays and performed in drag (I'm most famous for doing Bette Davis).
Lately, I've been giving up the dress and high heels and performing as a guy in stand-up comedy.
My proudest creative project is my relationship with my partner Chuck. Together, we have written a musical called "The Green Room" (you can buy the CD at www.cdbaby.com or www.amazon.com)
Our screenplay "Rainbow Sticker" was a finalists in the Hollywood Gateway Screenplay Contest and runner-up in the Find the Funny Screenplay Contest. Our second script "The Caveman Cometh" was a quarter-finalist in the PAGE International Screenwriting Contest.
As a playwright, I've had 3 plays produced!
Divanalysis (with C. Scott Wilkerson)
The almost legendary, often quoted informal lecture on the diva with The Divine Ms. M, Liza Minnelli, Karen Carpenter and Judy Garland as examples
Reviews:
"Foster throws in a bit of everything: camp, graphic sex, rueful reflection, the search for love…Foster reluctantly sheds his tough drag queen persona to reveal the frightened boy beneath the bravado.” -Recommended LA Weekly
“Playwright Foster is a standout in the leading role in and out of various costumes” -4-Front
“Best feature is it’s star charismatic Foster! His name should be up in lights” - Next LA magazine
I also wrote a non-fiction book: Awakening the Actor Within
A 12 week actor’s recovery/discover work book dealing with the unblocking and healing of actors’ spirits. Featuring tools on how to “unblock” actors and help them return to the stage. Stephen is available to teach his workshop “Awakening the Actor Within” to people who have a secret desire to act but don’t know how to get started or those who “used” to act but quit. For info email: [email protected]. (The workbook is available and an audio tape and CD.)

My Interests

Acting, writing, old Hollywood and music. I'm also into self-help books and teaching.

Esther and Jerry Hicks and their friends:

Music:

One of the funniest songs I know of is by my partner Chuck Pelletier called "It's All About Me" from our musical "The Green Room."
It's perfect for cabaret singers!
The sheet music can be bought at Hollywood Sheet Music at Sunset Blvd. (323) 850-1075.
The song won the Songwriter's Guild of America award for best song in musical catagory!
This is Karen Volpe singing the song at the workshop performance.
It's All About Me
