Going to the library at Ole Miss., in search of a book by his Uncle, Gregory asked the lady at the circulation desk if they had the book she said “no, but we have..... this one!” turning the computer screen so he could see the name of the book. The other book was ‘Nigger’. Gregory thought that was the funniest thing that she did not want to say the title of the book. That is what lead him to start writing, because of that experience he eventually wrote for a month which lead him to do his first comedy show in college, on campus. The rest, has been history. This March will be his 9 year anniversary. After college, Gregory moved back to Dayton, and had a full time job in sales for 8 years before becoming a full time comedian. In 2011 Walter Latham featured Gregory me on his website and listed him as one of his favorite working comedians. Choosing to be a ‘clean’ comic has allowed him to perform in wide range of venues from churches, corporate events to comedy clubs. In 2013 he nabbed some TV credit when Bob Sumner chose him for Aspire’s ‘We Got Next’. With his television credits mounting, and the Hollywood Execs taking notice, the sky is the limit for Gregory who has some pretty big shoes to fill, but he’s not show any signs of fear at all.
