Steven "Grabo" Grabusky (born March 17, 1970) is an American writer, producer, actor & musician. Better known for his antics with The Misplaced Comedy Group, through GTRecords, though he can be found throughout the Internet acting and playing music with a variety of other artists.

He made his stage debut in 1980, performing a rendition of The Diamonds Little Darling, for a school talent show and didn't leave the stage until 1990. From there he made sure to audition for anything he could to get back on the stage. He had also played Matt (The Boy) in a rendition of The Fantasticks in 1989.

In 1991, while in college and working for several radio stations as an On Air personality, he formed several rock and roll outfits and played his local circuit. His band IRIS, was picked up by Rockville Records in 1996. While recording their first CD, the rest of the band dropped out leaving Steve in the studio to record on his own. The project eventually became known as "Conundrum", since he had the dilemma to play all the instruments himself, while attempting to salvage any prior recordings.

In 1999, Steve moved to Hilton Head, South Carolina to work with The Adventure Radio Group as an On Air Personality, and eventually became the radio conglomerate's production director. It was there that he came up with the concept to form The Misplaced Comedy Group. With his comical snippets interacting with his on-air presence, The Misplaced Comedy Group skyrocketed up the comedy charts on the Internet music site mp3.com. The troupe's 2nd CD "The Afghan Files" became their first #1 CD, which featured the song "The Bin Laden (Banana Boat) Song", a parody loosely based on Harry Belefonte's famed performance.

Continuing his love for the stage and studio production, Steve left Adventure Radio in 2001, to continue writing and producing The Misplaced Comedy Group. During this time Steve, and fellow MCG founder Jeff Prekop, were featured on the cover of A&E while performing dinner theater with Genevieve Ramsey's Pushcart Players (The Island Packet, August,3,2001).

In 2002, Steve moved his MCG Studio to Florida, where he continued to write and produce with GTRecords. during this time, he ventured into several independent films. In 2003, mp3.com listed The Misplaced Comedy Group as "The #1 Internet Comedy Troupe". In 2006, American Idol Magazine listed The Misplaced Comedy Group as one of the "Best Emerging Artists" of the year (Vol. 3, Issue 2, Page 3). He has since released 7 more CDs with various members of Misplaced Comedy, while becoming one of the first troupes to establish a podcast on iTunes music store (2005).

In 2010, Steve hit the studio again in attempt to re-release the various 'Conundrum' projects, as well as issue a self titled CD, due for release in 2011-2012.
