Tickets on sale â Friday, Jan. 31 at 10 a.m.
Comedian Gary Owen has been entertaining American audiences for more than a decade with his side-splitting comedy and is set to return by popular demand to the Pearl Theater inside Palms Casino Resort on Saturday, July 11 at 9 p.m. Tickets start at $29.95, plus applicable fees.
Having performed to sold-out audiences in all the major comedy clubs and theatres across the country, Owen is one of Americaâs most beloved comedians and was proclaimed by Ebony magazine as Black Americaâs âFavorite White Comedian.â
Audiences can now see Owen in his fourth Showtime comedy special, âGARY OWEN: DOINWHATIDOâ which premiered on Sept. 7, 2019. This is the follow-up to his three previous Showtime specials titled âI Got My Associates,â which came out in fall 2018, and âI Agree with Myselfâ and âTrue Story,â both of which aired on Showtime in 2015.
Owen has had massive success as a comic actor on the big screen. Up next, he will appear in Universal 1440 Entertainmentâs SUDDEN DEATH. In 2016, he starred opposite Mike Epps and Mike Tyson in the comedy MEET THE BLACKS and in 2014, he starred in the Universal comedy RIDE ALONG with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart.
He is also one of the stars of the popular Screen Gemsâ franchise THINK LIKE A MAN (2012), having appeared in the first installment and its successful follow up THINK LIKE A MAN TOO (2014). In additional to their commercial successes, both opening No. 1 at the box office, the films were warmly received by critics and fans alike. Other film credits include LITTLE MAN (2016) opposite The Wayans Brothers and DADDY DAY CARE (2003) opposite Eddie Murphy. He is also widely known for his stealing role as âBearcatâ in the MGM film COLLEGE (2008).
In 2016, Owen starred in the BET docuseries âThe Gary Owen Show,â which chronicled his dynamic and interracial family life with his wife and children in small-town Ohio. The series marked the first time a Caucasian actor had starred in his own series on the network.
On the small screen, Owen co-hosted TruTVâs sketch series âUpload with Shaquille OâNealâ (2013). After meeting Tyler Perry on The Tom Joyner Morning Show, Owen was cast as the recurring role of Zach the barber in the 5th season of the TBS comedy series âTyler Perryâs House of Payne.â
In 2014, he served as the host of the hugely popular comedy special âShaquille O’Neal Presents: All Star Comedy Jam – Live from Orlando.â Other standout comedy performances include âMike Epps Presents: Live from Club Nokiaâ as well as âBreakinâ out the Parkâ and âUrban Legend,â the latter two which he also produced. He also starred in âMartin Lawrence Presents: 1st Amendment,â which aired on Starz in 2005.
In addition to his breadth of comedic work in films, television, and standup, Owen works closely with the nonprofit Facing Addiction, an organization dedicated to finding solutions to the addiction crisis in America. Having lost his own brother to heroin addiction, Owen regularly speaks and performs to raise awareness and support for the organizationâs mission.
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. After only a year of doing stand-up, he was named âFunniest Serviceman in America.â Two appearances on the multicultural comedy showcase, âBET’s ComicView,â won him his own one-hour âgrandstandâ show. At the end of the season he was selected from the yearâs four âgrandstandersâ to be the host.
Tickets for Gary Owen are $29.95, $44.95, $59.95, $69.95 and $99.95 (front row), plus applicable fees and go on sale Friday, Jan. 31 at 10 a.m. Doors open at 8 p.m. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by an adult.
