Om Steve Windels

Friendly, self-deprecating, and clever, Steve Windels is a professional wildlife biologist by day, stand-up comedian by night who gives a unique perspective on not just the mysteries of the animal kingdom but life in general as a middle-aged divorced dad trying to figure out where he fits on this goofy planet. He is also an actual expert on beaver biology, aka The Beaver Doctor, but he doesn’t think your little jokes are funny and he doesn’t want to talk about it so quit asking. He was a Semi-Finalist in the 2024 Acme Funniest Person in the Twin Cities contest and a finalist in the 2024 Funniest Person in St. Paul contest. He also produces comedy shows in the Twin Cities and elsewhere in Minnesota. Learn more at www.thebeaverdoctor.com. In addition to stand-up comedy, Steve is an accomplished public speaker who has developed an entertaining style to make audiences laugh while also learning about important topics in wildlife conservation. He has given talks in more than 30 states and 6 countries. Before moving to the Twin Cities, he lived in the famed “Icebox of the Nation” International Falls, MN for 21 years, where he kept his two daughters mostly safe from frostbite and random bear attacks.
