About Stu
“Big Shoe” Stu Evans
The next time you’re driving home in the afternoon, take a look at the driver of the car next to you. If they’re laughing, there is a pretty good chance “Big Shoe” Stu is on the radio! Every weekday afternoon since June 5, 1989, Stu has been cracking people up as they ride the KMLE home. (This is the longest running show on Valley radio!)
Stu has been named Country Music Association Major Market Personality of the Year and Academy of Country Music Disc Jockey of the Year! He is one of very few personalities honored by both of these organizations.
More than just big shoes (Size 15AA), Stu has a big heart. He devotes time to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, as celebrity host of the annual Walk to Cure Diabetes. He helps out Special Olympics Arizona, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and March of Dimes. You will often see Stu on KAET Channel 8 Public Television, during membership drives.
Stu has performed stand-up comedy at the Tempe Improv, Mardi Gras and the Phoenix Theatre. He also enjoys acting, and has been featured in Scottsdale Desert Stages productions of “The King & I”, “Damn Yankees”, “Jesus Christ, Superstar”, “Beauty & the Beast”, and “The Music Man”.
As you ride the KMLE home, you’ll often hear Stu talking about his wife, Bunny, or their two daughters, Maya and Carly. All three of them are far more entertaining than Stu himself!
