Looking for a few laughs this weekend? Then you’re in luck!

Comedian Gary Owen takes the stage at Taft Theatre (317 E 5^th St. Cincinnati) this Saturday Dec 15. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the hilarity ensues at 8:30 p.m.

Gary Owen has been entertaining American audiences for more than a decade with his side-splitting comedy.  Having performed to sold-out audiences in all the major comedy clubs and theatres across the country, Owen is one of America’s most beloved comedians, having been proclaimed by Ebony magazine as Black America’s “Favorite White Comedian”.

Owen grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and has always had a passion for comedy.  He enrolled in the US navy following high school, where he was chosen for the prestigious Presidential Honor Guard.  After leaving his ceremonial position, Owen became a military police officer at the Naval Installations on Coronado Island in San Diego.  During this time, he returned to his true calling: standup comedy.  Two appearances on the multicultural comedy showcase, “BET’s ComicView,” 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.  Owen currently resides in Ohio with his wife Kenya and their three children.
