Comedian Greg Warren is a favorite on the Bob & Tom radio show who has also appeared on “The Late Late Show” and “Comedy Central Presents.” I’ve known Greg since back in the day when he was an emcee at my old club Jokers Comedy Cafe, when he still had a full time job at Procter & Gamble where he managed Jif Peanut Butter and Pringles.

When he told me was quitting his day job to become a comic full time I was nervous for him. But I needn’t have been. Greg moved up quickly in the comedy world, and in 2002 he was tapped to appear at the Montreal’s prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in 2002. He appeared on the New Faces of Comedy showcase and then went on to earn an appearance on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend.

In 2009 he had his own Comedy Central Presents 1/2 hour special. Taped at the Hudson Theatre in the heart of New York City’s Times Square, I still remember sitting in the audience of that taping, so proud of the comic he’d become since his early Jokers days.

Here’s one of his most famous bits from his early days: FluteMan

He’s continued to grow as a comic, adding appearing on BET’s Coming to the Stage on CMT Comedy Stage, on NBC’s Last Comic Standing and CBS’s The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson as well as being heard on Sirius/XM Comedy. His comedy albums Running Out of Time(Sept 2013) and One Star Wonder(June 2009) hit #3 and #6 respectively in iTunes Top Comedy Albums.

He’ll be appearing at the Dayton Funny Bone this weekend this Friday through Sunday for his regular stand up show, but Sunday at 4pm he’ll be doing a special family friendly comedy show. It’s a rare comic than can do comedy that entertains a late night audience, then turn around and so a show that is family friendly and not cheesy. Greg has mastered this and you can check out some of this show and hear what folks think of this show:
