Steve's parents always knew he was different from the other boys in his hometown. For one, he wanted to be educated. So he rejected the simple innocence and willful ignorance of his home state of Wisconsin and headed to the city of Minneapolis to get a graduate degree in something or other and find his fortune. What he found instead is a series of dead end jobs, crappy apartments, and disgusting roommates. Before long he found himself in the same situation as millions of Americans in their twenties: Over educated, under qualified, and struggling to care. The difference between Steve and any number of other Generation Y hipsters with a cool mussed up hair do is that he tells you all about it.

His ability to disclose and distill his trials and tribulations into hilarious, yet often melancholy (bordering on tragic) slices of life is one of the things that sets Mr. Gillespie apart from other comics in the highly competitive comedy scene of Minneapolis, MN. He has risen swiftly through the ranks of The Acme Comedy Company, and has since taken his boyish looks and wold weary smirk all across the Midwest. He's entertained folks at The Chicago Improv, Skyline, Comedy on State, and Crackers Comedy Club, among others. Get ready to spend some time with Steve Gillespie. The glimpses into his life will have you doubling over with laughter, while simultaneously wishing he hadn't told you a thing. Steve is also featured on Rooftop.com's comedy record "Farts: The Best of Bathroom Humor." His parents can't decide if that makes them proud or not.
