Steve Gribbin

Steve Gribbin is a diminutive guitar-wielding satirist from Liverpool whose scathing comedy songs and off-the-wall observations have made him one of the firm favourites of the comedy circuit. Steve's original comedy songs combine razor-sharp lyrics with tunes that put their foot in the door of your mind and refuse to leave. Firmly rooted in rock 'n' roll and refusing to pull any punches, these are not the 'oh so witty' ditties of penguin-suited plink-plonk piano-playing posh gobs. They are that rarity - comedy songs which are actually funny. For nine years, Steve was the smaller one in the dynamic comedy duo Skint Video, stalwarts of the Edinburgh Festival, appearing on countless television programmes such as Saturday Live, radio such as The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and their own show in 1992/3 Songlines (BBC Radio 1). Skint Video went their different ways in 1993, since when Steve has been storming across the UK and Ireland as a solo artist.
