Greg Hahn
August 28-31
As a Captain in the Marines Corps, Greg kept his men highly motivated
and could not overemphasize that camouflage is continuous.
While a buyer for Lockheed Corporation, he thought "Why make $200 a
day, when I can be a comedian and make that in a week!"
After several serious jobs where he refused to be serious, Greg turned
pro as a stand up comedian.
The career began with several months of brutal open mics and talent
shows. He then landed the absurd gig as emcee for a lumberjack show at
Six Flags Great America. This career choice supplied him with a
microphone and four huge audiences a day, "I had to do jokes while a
bunch of drunks ran around swinging axes. We had a log rolling dog
that couldn't even swim, she would fly off the log and sink. We named
her Splash."
Soon afterwards, he worked as an actor in the Wild Wild Wild West
Stunt Show at Universal Studios. "For $20 an hour, I'd run out, fall
down a few times and get hit in the head with a stick".
At night he continually honed his stand up skills and after several
years of club work moved his career to New York City.
While in New York, Greg developed into a touring headliner and
co-starred in the independent film Tomorrow Night which premiered at
the Sundance Film Festival. Then, after successful shows at the
Montreal and Chicago Comedy Festivals, Greg enjoyed hit television
appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Comedy Central's Premium
Blend, Make Me Laugh (5 episodes) and Louis CK's Pulp Comics. He
recently had wild appearances on 30 Seconds to Fame and Cedric the
Entertainer Presents with the Fox network and the CBS hit show Star
Search.
Continuing to advance his career in film and television, Greg has
since relocated to Los Angeles where in between shows and acting
classes he knocks out pull-ups, and goes ballistic on his drum set.
