Christopher Widdows (born 7 December 1968) is an Australian stand-up comedian and actor primarily known by the stage name 'Steady Eddy.' Born with cerebral palsy, his disability became a key part of his comedy, hence his performing moniker.
'Steady Eddy's' mainstream career began in 1992 with appearances on popular Australian TV programs like Nine Network's The Midday Show and Seven Network's Tonight Live with Steve Vizard, becoming a frequent personality throughout much of the 1990s and early 2000s. He was one of the first disabled performers to be featured prominently in Australian mainstream media.
