For over two decades, the unforgettable caricature of veteran comedian
James Gregory has stood grinning: his shirt un-tucked, his arms
outstretched, a carefree welcome to a down-home, hilarious comedy
experience. It’s storytelling at its best. The trademark caricature is
the essence of James Gregory’s comedy: rib-tickling reflections on life
from the front porch.
Gregory is constantly touring. He’s on the road about three days a
week, forty six weeks a year. He continues to entertain sold-out crowds
in theaters and comedy clubs and remains in demand for corporate
events. James has been the featured entertainer for over 200
corporations, including the Coca Cola Company, Kimberly Clark
Corporation, Hewlett Packard and Kroger. James has also been the
featured speaker for events sponsored by various civic and church
groups.
James is heard weekly on syndicated radio shows such as Rick and Bubba,
John Boy and Billy and Bob and Tom. Combined, these shows are broadcast
to people in over 220 cities nationwide. As a result, he now has a
grass-roots following that numbers in the millions.
Gregory was born in a rural area about twenty five miles east of
Atlanta, GA. He got his first job at the age of twelve at a small
country grocery store. By the time he was fifteen, he was working
thirty-seven hours a week, as well as going to school. As an adult,
James has worked for the U.S. Postal Service, the Department of
Defense, and spent almost ten years as a salesman before discovering
the wonderful world of stand-up comedy.
James does not “tip-toe” through life as if he’s walking on broken
glass or egg shells. That style is evident on stage as well. He is not
politically correct. Much of his humor is centered on brilliant
observations of crazy relatives and people obsessed with the slightest
change in weather conditions - now referred to as global warming. He
delights in poking fun at modern sensitive parents and out-of-control
environmentalists. Gregory has been quoted as saying, “If you want me
to be concerned about endangered species, you need to convince me that
we’re about out of chickens.”
The James Gregory show turns the clock back to a time when life was
simpler; to a better time, before the death of common sense; a time
when people sat on the front porch and actually talked to each other
without a cell phone in their ear.
Gregory’s success, like his comedy, is the direct result of the values
he grew up with. And now, twenty something years later, it is this
unique brand of humor that packs the crowds into his sold-out shows.
The absence of vulgarity sets James apart and his stories are carefully
crafted art. “I have lived long enough to know people, know life”,
Gregory reflects. “My comedy is based on my life experiences. It’s
real, it’s funny and the audience loves it. That’s why I’m still in
business.” more >>> |
