Following a breakout spring run on his debut theater tour, Owen has further cemented his status as one of the most in-demand comedians today. A boundary-breaking force in stand-up comedy for more than two decades, Owen has defied convention throughout his career. His unapologetic, rule-defying style has built a passionate, cross-cultural fanbase that spans race, gender and generation. That same fearless approach continues to fuel his success, with multiple sold-out performances marking a defining moment in his career.

 

Beyond stand-up, Owen has appeared in a wide range of feature films including “Back on the Strip” alongside Tiffany Haddish, “Meet the Blacks” and its sequel “The House Next Door,” “Think Like a Man” and “Think Like a Man Too,” “Ride Along” with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, “Little Man” opposite the Wayans Brothers, and “Daddy Day Care” with Eddie Murphy. On television, he starred in his own BET series “The Gary Owen Show” and co-hosted TruTV’s sketch series “Upload with Shaquille O’Neal.” After meeting Tyler Perry on “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” Owen was cast in the recurring role as Zach the barber on TBS’ “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.”

 

He continues to write, produce and perform his own comedy specials, including “Black Famous,” “#Doin’ What I Do,” “I Got My Associates,” “I Agree with Myself,” “True Story,” “Urban Legend,” “Breakin’ Out the Park,” “Broken Family” and “Gary Owen…No S.” Most recently, he released his latest comedy special “No Hard Feelings” on YouTube, which has already surpassed 2.1 million views and continues to climb.

 

In addition to the extended U.S. dates, Owen will take the No Hard Feelings Tour overseas this summer, with performances in New Zealand and Australia in June, followed by dates across Europe in July.
