Steven Gillespie has appeared on CONAN, Amazon Prime’s “Inside Joke”, and FOX’s  “Laughs - All Stars”.

His 3rd comedy album “Liminal Bliss” was released in 2022 with Helium Comedy Records; reaching #2 on the iTunes Comedy Charts, so he is getting worse.

He was named a finalist in CMT’s Next Big Comic, runner up for Best of the Midwest at Gilda’s Laughfest, and his debut album “Steve Fever” was named a top 10 comedy album of the year by ComedyReviews.com . Steven is based out of Denver and is regular performer at the world famous Comedy Works.

Gillespie has also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some of the best comics in the country, including opening appearances for Rory Scovel, Dave Attell, Tom Segura, Kyle Kinnane, Tom Green, Harland Williams, Doug Benson, Emo Phillips, and Gilbert Gottfried.
