Down home & deep fried comedy The Funniest Man in America, James Gregory, makes a special appearance at Anderson Music Hall on the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds in Hiawassee, GA on Saturday, September 22, 2007. The evening of fun and laughter begins at 7:00 pm. Tickets are available by phone at 706-896-4191 and at www.georgiamountainfairgrounds. com. For over two decades, "The Funniest Man in America," James Gregory, has been reflecting on life from the front porch. Gregory tours 45 weeks a year, entertaining sold-out crowds in theatres, colleges, corporate events and comedy clubs across America. "The most successful comedian America has never heard of," James Gregory entertains over 10 million people annually, including the Coca-Cola Company, Kimberly Clark, Hewlett Packard Corporation, the American Red Cross, and you and your friends. His grass roots following of loyal fans hear him weekly on nationally syndicated radio shows like "Bob and Tom," "Rick and Bubba," "John Boy and Billy," and "Steve and DC." Without the momentum of a pop media machine, he has become a world-class, successful comedian. Gregory began his career as a salesman, but his real gift was storytelling. In 1982, his friends convinced him to do an open mic night at the Punchline in Atlanta, GA, and he was an instant hit.
"I don't do Southern or small town humor," he is known to say to those who try to pigeonhole his appeal. His is a front porch humor; he tells the stories we all know no matter where or what we come from. Ignoring the eggshells of the politically correct, Gregory pokes fun at everyone from health fanatics to animal rights activists, and his fans flock to hear him. His success, like his comedy, has been initiated by the values he grew up with. The absence of vulgarity sets James apart, too. "I have lived long enough to know people, to know life," Gregory reflects. "My comedy is based on my experience. I want to make the whole country laugh."
