About Greg Hahn:
Greg Hahn has parlayed his absurdly energetic, all out style of physical humor, one liners, and crowd work into a performance of immediate pandemonium and continuous laughs. His unique stylings have led to numerous television, corporate, and theater appearances throughout the US and Canada.
A favorite on the nationally syndicated ‘Bob and Tom Show,’ Greg has also appeared on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” Comedy Central, CBS, ABC, FOX, MTV, and CMT.
Greg was raised in South Florida and played college basketball before rising to the rank of Captain in the Marines Corps. After leaving the service, he became a buyer for Lockheed Corporation, which is apparently when he decided to trade that lifestyle for making $200 a week as a comedian.
One of his first jobs was as emcee for a theme park lumberjack show. This supplied him with four audiences a day, intoxicated ax swinging lumberjacks, and a log-rolling dog. Soon after, he worked as stuntman in the Wild Wild Wild West Stunt Show at Universal Studios. He continually honed his style of comedy then headed to New York City.
While in New York, Greg developed into a touring headliner and co-starred in the independent film ‘Tomorrow Night,’ which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Following successful shows at the Montreal and Chicago Comedy Festivals, Greg enjoyed television appearances on NBC’s “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” Fox’s “Cedric the Entertainer Presents,” and CBS’ revival of “Star Search,” as well as the Comedy Central programs “Premium Blend,” “Make Me Laugh,” and “Louis CK’s Pulp Comics.”
When appearing on “Star Search,” Greg was spotted by Tom Griswold of the nationally syndicated ‘Bob & Tom Show.’ Greg has since established himself as a favorite guest on the show and starred on the Bob and Tom Comedy Central special. He also headlines the Friends of The Bob and Tom theater tour, which included a stop at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival.
A return appearance to the Montreal Comedy Festival along with the Halifax Comedy Festival and wild appearances on Country Music Television’s “Comedy Stage”, “Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen” and running for president on “TOSH.0” have added to Greg’s popularity.
About Willie Griswold:
Willie is an up-and-coming standup who’s been heard regularly on ‘The Bob and Tom Show’ while touring clubs and colleges around the country. He’s also a regular host of the “Highly Recommended Comedy” showcase at the Laugh Factory in Chicago.
