"Steve Gillespie’s second comedy album Alive on State reached number one on iTunes Comedy Charts and hit the top 10 on the Billboard charts. His third comedy album Liminal Bliss was released earlier this year with Helium Comedy Records. It reached number two on the iTunes Comedy Charts, so he is getting worse."
