Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 3/13/20 - Greg Schwem, Comedian,
Rick talks with his friend and comedian, Greg Schwem this week on iHeartRadio.
Greg's comedic take on the 21st century workplace and work/life balance has landed him on SIRIUS Radio, FOX News, Comedy Central and the pages of Parents Magazine. More than just a business humorist, Greg is also an author, nationally syndicated humor columnist, award-winning greeting card writer and creator of funnydadinc, voted one of the top Dad humor sites of 2016. He has shared the concert stage with the likes of Celine Dion and Jay Leno.
A graduate of Northwestern University’s prestigious Medill School of Journalism, Greg never envisioned a career in laughter. Instead, he settled in Florida, becoming an award-winning reporter for NBC-owned WPTV in West Palm Beach. But the comedy bug bit Greg hard and he returned to his hometown of Chicago, where he honed his standup act in nightclubs. When he began inserting material about business and technology into his act, audience members approached him and said, “You really should come down to my office and tell those jokes.” Behold! A new approach to comedy was born.
In coming weeks, where the new term "social distancing" is being encouraged, Greg is also a content producer and his works could produce hours of entertainment.
Have a listen and learn how he "crashes pads of normal people looking to rent a room."
Greg has had the privilege of staying in some of the world’s finest and most lavish hotels. But, as he often says, “nothing funny ever happens in hotels.” So when the home sharing market exploded, Greg began to wonder what kind of person would allow a complete stranger to live in their home, often without any vetting?
“A very interesting person. And probably a person with a story to tell,” was the only response Greg could muster.
As a comedian, Greg feels his business is people, not joke telling. “Without listening to, and observing people on a daily basis, I can’t write material,” he said. That’s how A Comedian Crashes Your Pad was born.
Come along for the ride and watch a series that is funny, uplifting and a bit voyeuristic. And, remember homesharing hosts, upon leaving, Greg will always leave the keys in the dish.
