GREG GIRALDO: Oct. 9-12

[The DC Improv]

 

Greg Giraldo is one of the hottest comics in the country. Socially provocative and yet broadly funny, Greg has become one of the most versatile and highly entertaining comics working today.

 

Recently, Greg shot The Root of All Evil for Comedy Central. His debut comedy album, Good Day to Cross a River (Comedy Central Records), dropped in October. In 2006, he hosted The Stand Up Show with Greg Giraldo on Comedy Central and he has appeared on the Comedy Central Roast. On past shows, Greg has roasted Pamela Anderson, Howard Stern and Jeff Foxworthy and Katt Williams.

 

Greg is well known from his stint as a regular panelist on Comedy Central's Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. In addition to his two half hour stand-up specials, Comedy Central Presents...Greg Giraldo, Greg also has performed on Late Show with David Letterman (CBS), and he has been a guest on Late Night with Conan O' Brien (NBC) a dozen times.

 

In late 2004, Greg released an enormously successful song with producer LaZBoy entitled "Underwear Goes Inside the Pants" that has received a tremendous amount of airplay on both Modern rock and Top 40 radio across the country.

 

Over his career Greg has created and starred in sitcom pilots for NBC and CBS, and was given the opportunity to develop and star in his own ABC sitcom, "Common Law," which was loosely based on his experiences at a New York law firm.

 

While in New York Greg is known to be a regular at Manhattan clubs-like Gotham Comedy Club and the Comedy Cellar.

 

When he is not touring comedy clubs, colleges, theaters and corporate events, he can be found living in New York City with his wife and three young boys whom he believes to be his own.
