James Gregory
30th Anniversary Tour
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.
James Gregory will perform at The Ritz Theatre on Friday, June 15th. Doors open at 6:30pm and the show begins at 7:00pm. The front three rows will be designated as VIP Preferred Seating. Those who purchase VIP tickets should arrive at 6pm for a special meet and greet with James Gregory at 6:15pm. After the meet and greet, we will open the auditorium for General Admission Seating patrons.
Tickets are $30 for VIP Preferred Seating, and $25 for General Admission Seating and may be purchased online at the link above.
