Greg Warren, most recently seen on "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,"
has been building a strong fan base around the country with his act inspired
by stories from his Midwestern upbringing. Greg attracts a diverse audience
spectrum, performing on networks such as BET (as a finalist on "Coming to
the Stage") and Country Music Television's "Comedy Stage". Greg is also
a favorite on the nationally syndicated "Bob and Tom" radio show, which led
him to tour theatres across the country with the "Friends of Bob and Tom
Comedy Tour".
Greg Warren hails from St. Louis, MO, where his father was a high school wrestling
coach and his mother made him play clarinet in the band. Greg has captivated
audiences with anecdotes about the conflict inherent in meshing two high school
identities-varsity wrestler and band geek. Greg's "Flute Man" bit is a perfect
capsulation of the insecurities of high school and the ongoing quest to be cool,
and is one of the most requested bits in the history of the "Bob and Tom" radio
show. Greg was also a West Point Cadet, where he distinguished himself by
amassing an impressive tally of demerits and endless hours of pointless
marching. After moving on to the University of Missouri, he studied
journalism and was named an All-American college wrestler.
While in college, Greg won a comedy contest and was invited to perform
at a local club in Columbia, MO, Dèjà Vu. After a stint
selling Jif and Pringles for corporate giant Procter & Gamble, Greg
made the decision to become a full time comedian.
This bold move led to an invitation to the prestigious "Just for Laughs Festival"
in Montreal in 2002, where Greg performed as one of their featured "New Faces of Comedy".
He has also been seen on the Comedy Central show, "Premium Blend". Greg has an
arsenal of characters that he brings to life in his act. He also highlights his
current life struggles with the service industry, moderation, and
"One Star People".
In addition to his television and festival appearances, Greg continues to tour
all across the country, performing his act at clubs such as the Funny Bone and
the Improv. Greg's background recently resulted in a gig doing color commentary
on college wrestling for Fox Sports Midwest. Greg's Midwestern upbringing and
his ability to provide humorous social commentary gives him a wealth of material
that continues to gain him fans throughout the country. |
