BIO At age 16, Greg Morton got first job at a local department store, as a P.A. announcer.  That same voice that grabbed the attention of shoppers,  recently wowed judges, on the season 14 premier of America’s Got Talent.    Howie Mandel said, “I can’t believe there isn’t a banner with your name on it in Vegas!”  After 35 years of entertaining audiences worldwide, opening for Celine Dion, Harry Connick Jr. and Luther Vandross at Radio City Music Hall - appearing on Just for Laughs, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, Comic’s Unleashed, and his own Dry Bar Comedy Special, entitled, ‘I Started Out as a Baby’ - he received a standing ovation, and four yeses for his 2 min. Star Wars routine.  The force is definitely with him. 

Greg Morton Meets the Muppets!

Hopefully, you’ve followed me on twitter @GREGMORTONCOMIC because for the last 48 hours, running around Montreal at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival.  Tonight was Gala night with the Muppets and it was in a word, EXTRAORDINARY!  It made me wanna quit what I’m doing and join the muppets.

The energy in the theatre was pure bliss.  I mean, c’mon!  Who doesn’t love the Muppets?  They bring back so many great memories.  I won’t spoil it for anyone who watches the television show; either here in Canada or Australia, but you’re in for a treat!  Hilarious muppet sketches, surprise appearances from all your favourite Muppets and a great line up of comedians.
