Who is Stenning?

As Stenning picks up traction in the Twittersphere, GolocalProv reached out to him to learn a little more about what inspired his stab at Schilling.

Turns out Stenning is a Providence-based amateur comedian/chain Twitter heckler who jabs at celebrities, friends, and just about anyone for a good laugh and a few page views.

“In all reality, I was just watching Sportscenter on ESPN yesterday, and I saw the always cocky Schilling strutting his stuff on the air,” Stennings said. “I thought I would try to make a jab at him on twitter about 38 Studios, or as some people would call ‘trolling’. I had a feeling that he would respond, because I looked at his feed and saw that he has replied to fans and haters before. I have trolled countless people on Twitter, from other celebrities to random idiots to old friends, and this has been one of the best experiences with it.”

“I am an amateur comedian and public access host based out of Providence, so getting my name out there is exactly the kind of stuff I need,” Stenning said. He has gained about 10 Twitter followers since the incident with Schilling.
