Greg Warren, most recently seen on Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late
Late Show and Comedy Central Presents, has built a strong fan base with an
act inspired by his Midwestern upbringing. His CDs, Running Out of Time (Sept
2013) and One Star Wonder (June 2009) hit #3 and #6 respectively in iTunes
Top Comedy Albums. An honest mix of self-deprecation, frustration and an
arsenal of lifelike characters highlight Greg’s colorful perspective.

Greg attracts a diverse audience spectrum, having performed as a finalist on
BET’s Coming to the Stage and on Country Music Television. He is a favorite
on the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Radio Show, which led to touring
theaters nationwide with The Bob & Tom All Stars Comedy Tour.

Greg hails from St. Louis, MO, where his father was a high school wrestling
coach and his mother made him play clarinet in the band. He has captivated
audiences with anecdotes about the conflict inherent in meshing the two
disparate high school identities of varsity wrestler and band geek. Greg’s “Flute
Man” bit is a perfect encapsulation 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 & Tom 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 became an All-American college wrestler.

During college, Greg won a comedy contest and was invited to perform at Déjà
Vu, a local club in Columbia, MO. After a stint selling Jif and Pringles for Procter
& Gamble, Greg made the decision to become a full-time comedian. This bold
move led to an invitation to Montreal’s prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy
Festival in 2002, where Greg performed as one of the featured New Faces of
Comedy. He has also been seen on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and
NBC’s Last Comic Standing.

Greg’s background resulted in a gig doing college wrestling color commentary for
Fox Sports Midwest. He is heard daily on Sirius/XM Comedy and headlines
comedy clubs across the country. He appeared in the independent films 23
Minutes to Sunrise and Marshall The Miracle Dog. He is a founding member
of the St. Louis Sketch Week Players whose sketches can be heard on
Sirius/XM and Pandora
