219: Trust Your Funny: Comedian Mark Gregory on Legacy, Hustle & Comedy Gold {Ep 219}
Update: 2025-04-30
Description
Laughers, get ready to laugh and be inspired by Mark Gregory, one of today’s top clean comedians and the nephew of the legendary comic Dick Gregory! Mark shares his fascinating journey from chasing Olympic dreams, to a calling in comedy, to being in the writers’ room with the Wayans family for CBS's new show “Poppa’s House’ starring Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. & more!
Get a behind-the-scenes look at his writing process—including how people-watching in courtrooms (yes, really!) sparks fresh material and why traveling across the U.S. shapes a sharper, more relatable set. Discover how Mark’s comedic style has evolved —and the surprising eye injury that changed his act for good! Hear the wisdom passed down from his famous uncle, and the story behind the heartfelt title of his Amazon special, "Run With It."
Mark also opens us about writing for TV, touring with his iconic uncle, doing stand up in NYC, and why being present—and trusting your intuition—is everything on stage. Plus, find out what to expect when Mark headlines at the new comedy club at Massanutten Resort and where to watch his sketches online. Whether you’re a comedy fan or an aspiring comic, get ready for wisdom, laughs, and a behind-the-scenes look at what makes clean comedy not just club-worthy, but unforgettable. Cheers!
