Laughfest 2019 | GARY OWEN

Saturday 31st August 2019  8:00 PM

Saturday, Aug. 31 in Nassau, Bahamas featuring headliner Gray Owen.
Prior to his successful career in stand-up comedy, Gary Owen served in the U.S. Navy for six years as a military policeman and was in the Presidential Honor Guard. After a year of doing stand-up, Owen was named “Funniest Serviceman in America”. He continued doing stand-up in San Diego and developed a large African-American fan base. He went on to win the “Funniest Black Comedian in San Diego” contest. That led to his first gig at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. In July 1997, he auditioned for BET‘s Comic View. Two appearances on the multicultural comedy showcase 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 was the only white man to have ever hosted Comic View.

Guest comedians Say Em and Wildcat. This night will be hosted by Bahamian Comedian and Radio Personality Naughty.
Venue: Grand Hyatt, Baha Mar
