He seems genuinely excited to be brining the audience into his confidence, like close mates, even starting off by confessing to problems with his undergarments this evening. The cynic might wonder if he says this every night, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it.Experience the critically acclaimed comedian at his best, live on stage. Stung by his mother’s suggestion that he is “not normal” GREG puts everyone under the microscope in a petty quest to discover if anyone actually is.
