About James Gregory
James Gregory is constantly touring. He's been on the road about three days a week, 46 weeks a year for 30 years. 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 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.
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, 30 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."
