Hilarity Bites – Steve Gribbin: Elon Musk’s Monkey

Steve Gribbin, the sarkily satirical Scouse song-thrush, brings his brand of scathing musical comedy to The Milton Rooms in Malton.

Up-to-the-second topical and unashamedly political, Steve takes on everything from climate change, royal feuds, the cost of living crisis and the perils of being an embarrassing dad, all with his customary cheeky charm and wit.

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 based in rock ‘n’ roll and refusing to pull no 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.

Expect seasick shanties, R&B dancefloor grooves and intensely unsettling Folk. All in the one song!

“Steve Gribbin stormed the stage, and had the audience roaring with laughter from start to finish… a real class act” – The Independent On Sunday

“Steve Gribbin has all the manic energy of a friendly Tasmanian Devil…spot-on and hysterical” – The Scotsman

“Comedy songs are notoriously difficult to pull off, but Steve Gribbin is one of only a handful of practitioners working today in the UK to pull it off with real aplomb and style!” – TimeOut
