Gary Owen Comedy

Owen’s comedy style is all about honest storytelling. He tells stories from his life, his family, and just the absurdities of everyday living.

His humor connects with a wide audience, whether you grew up in a trailer, lived in a barracks, or just know what it’s like to juggle work and family.

Beyond stand-up, Owen has made a name for himself on screen: he’s appeared in films like Think Like a Man, Ride Along, and Daddy Day Care.

On TV, he even had his own BET series (The Gary Owen Show) and worked with Shaquille O’Neal on a sketch show.

So it's safe to say that he’s got chops in more than just stand-up.
