About

Owen was always the class clown growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio. After high school, he got serious and enlisted in the Navy.

Owen became a military police officer at the Naval Installations on Coronado Island in San Diego. During this time, Owen worked up the nerve to go at a nightclub. After only a year of doing stand-up, he was named "Funniest Serviceman in America."

Then in July of 1997 he auditioned for BET's COMICVIEW. Two appearances on the multi-cultural comedy showcase won him his own one-hour "Grandstand" show. At the end of the season he was selected from the year’s four "Grandstanders" to be the host. Not only is Owen the only white man to have ever hosted COMICVIEW, but he is the only white on-air personality the network has ever had.

Owen is active on twitter at twitter.com/garyowencomedy. Owen has produced two stand-up DVDs: BREAKIN’ OUT THE PARK and URBAN LEGEND. His 2 DVDs and CD can be purchased on his website www.garyowen.com.

    Not Funny

    by WarriorAngel1 on 11/20/23Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Spent to much of his act on sex and the lack thereof. There is more to a relationship / marriage then sex. Important yes! Not the only thing to bring to a marriage. When you grow old together and you can no long have sex what is left if that is all a marriage is built upon? Very disappointed! Seems to be working out his marital problems. Need new & funny material. With all that is going on in the world that was really his only topic.

    Lacked magic

    by BZ on 11/19/23Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    I've been a fan of GO for awhile. Saw him initially 7ish yrs ago. Thought this show lacked energy, like he was checking a box. So much talk about sex (easy). Got old. His focus on special needs, especially being criticized for his past jokes on special needs, was cringe. But I may be biased since I have an autistic child. Overall just ok. I really enjoy picking and choosing funny GO clips to watch on YouTube. When doing that, he's crazy hilarious. This wasn't it. On his podcast lately he's talking about his estrangement from his kids. You gotta wonder if it's currently impacting his energy. Wish GO and fam the best!

    Laughed My Tail Off?

    by SJ on 10/31/23Bob Hope Theatre - Stockton

    Gary O...Truly thank you for hosting the show. My wife asked me to get tickets because she saw your last show on TV. I use to live in Cinci, so when you started talking about Over the Rhine...she was amazed that I knew a lot about it. Arnes J is her favor comedian. And Lavell and Joe are just as stupid crazy. They want to be. I'm one of those guys who has lived all over...and St. Louis was one of my stumping grounds when I was in the service. I loved everything.

    Too Raunchy For Me

    by TWV on 10/31/23Bob Hope Theatre - Stockton

    The comedians who performed were way too vulgar for my taste. I am no prude but I don't find gratuitous vulgarity funny.

    Hella funny

    by hella funny on 10/31/23Bob Hope Theatre - Stockton

    Gary Owen is more hilarious than I thought. All of the comedians were funny. I didn't know Arnez J was that funny. I laughed all night. I even thought about the jokes when I left. Each comedian spent a good amount time telling jokes. It was well worth the money....GREAT TIME!
