Behind-the-scenes photos from the U.K.’s biggest comedians offered as unique, digital and physical collectibles

FabriikX continues to enhance its curation focused NFT marketplace with the addition of a new private collection by comedian and photographer Steve Best.

Because of Steve’s 25-year career in comedy, he is afforded private, backstage access to some of the biggest names in British comedy including Jimmy Carr, Jack Whitehall, Jo Brand, and Stewart Lee. This access has allowed him to combiSteve Best is partnering with FabriikX to create and launch his first NFT collection, Comedians Back to Front, which is a collection of fine art photography taken from his forthcoming book.ne his love of photography with his love of comedy to produce two books and his third book – Comedians, a high-end coffee table book of fine art photography – will be published in September.

Alongside his new book, Steve Best is partnering with FabriikX to create and launch his first NFT collection. Comedians Back to Front is a collection of fine art photography taken from his forthcoming book, which captures comedians backstage with all the laughter, nerves, and thrills that come with every performance through the lens of a fellow comedian.

Steve explains: “Me having a camera backstage doesn’t make me a photographer to fellow comedians, but just a comedian with a camera, which means I’m able to capture the real atmosphere and deeply personal, pre-stage moments of performers.”

Dropping NFTs will give fans and followers an opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind multi-sensory digital collectible that captures a moment in time never shared before. The NFTs will provide a unique opportunity for fans to own both digital and physical collectibles and have the complete package.

Speaking about what inspired him to get into NFTs, Steve said: “Like many people, I suppose, I’ve had my eye on NFTs for a while, but it was through a comedian friend, who is also very much into crypto, who put me in touch with FabriikX, and this made me see the (digital) light! It’s exciting to get into NFTs, at the beginning-ish (well, when it comes to fine art photography). It’s a brilliant way for newer creators/artists to get their work out there and to think a little outside the box when it comes to their artwork.”

Lior Cyngiser, Business Operations Lead for FabriikX: “We are delighted to be welcoming Steve and his photo NFTs to FabriikX. Steve is highly respected within two different artistic circles, which he has cleverly merged to give a new edge to the juxtaposed life of the comedian. His unique background makes this expertly curated NFT collection of rare, behind-the-scenes photography highly collectible.”

Other artists’ NFT collections recently dropped on FabriikX include Diddy Wheldon’s fourth collection: Imagination, Nestor Andreev’s 2nd collection: Svetu Monastery, and Historical Rarities’ 1st Vinyl Records collection.

About Steve Best
