James
Gregory-The Funniest Man in America

For
over two decades, the unforgettable caricature of veteran comedian James
Gregory has stood grinning: his shirt un-tucked, his arms outstretched,
a carefree welcome to a down-home, hilarious comedy experience. Its
storytelling at its best. The trademark caricature is the essence of
James Gregorys comedy: rib-tickling reflections on life from the
front porch.

Mystery Dinner Theatre
