The Cincinnati native — whose comedy encompasses, family, culture and everyday life — began doing stand-up in the mid-1990s while stationed in San Diego, Calif. After winning the title of “Funniest Serviceman in America,” he broke through on BET’s Comic View program and became the only white person to host the show. He also starred in his own BET series, The Gary Owen Show, co-hosted TruTV’s sketch series Upload with Shaquille O’Neal, and was cast in the recurring role of Zach the Barber on TBS’ Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.
Owen has appeared in a number of movies as well, including Back on the Strip, alongside Tiffany Haddish; the comedy horror film Meet the Blacks with Mike Epps; Ride Along with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube; and Daddy Day Care with Eddie Murphy.
He continues to write, produce and perform his own comedy specials, including Black Famous, Breakin’ Out the Park, True Story, and Broken Family on YouTube, as well as Gary Owen…No “S” on Mint Comedy.
