Firstly Steve Gribbin is not dead. The title of this piece refers to the fact that he is celebrating 40 years in comedy. More mature comedy fans will remember him as half of musical satirical duo Skint Video, first with John Ivens and then with Brian Mulligan. More recently he has blazed a trail up and down the country – usually by rickety train – delivering quickfire comic diatribes about the state of the nation. All this and he still finds time to front Americana/Country/Folk Band The True Believers.
