James Gregory at Marion Cultural and Civic Center

Looks like this event has already taken place.

Sat, Apr 27 , 2024 • 7:00pm - 10:00pm

800 Tower Square Plaza, Marion, IL 62959

Get out to Marion Cultural and Civic Center for a night of laughs with James Gregory: The Funniest Man in America on April 27th, 2024, at 7 p.m.

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

James is constantly touring. He’s on the road about three days a week, forty-six weeks a year. He continues to entertain sold-out crowds in theaters and comedy clubs and remains in demand for corporate events. James has been the featured entertainer for hundreds of corporations, including the Coca-Cola Company, Kimberly Clark Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, and Kroger. James has also been the featured speaker for events sponsored by various civic and church groups.

James is heard weekly on syndicated radio shows such as Rick and Bubba, John Boy and Billy, and Bob and Tom. Combined, these shows are broadcast to people in over 220 cities nationwide. As a result, he now has a grass-roots following that numbers in the millions.
