My guest today is such a talented performer and a real fun guy to be around.  He loves what he does and he loves life, and he is Gregory Hollimon. Gregory is a veteran of the world famous Second City in Chicago, and performed with the National Touring company all over the United States.  Throughout his career, he has performed in so many great improv shows, as well as various plays and films. You may also remember him as Principal Onyx Blackman from the hit show Strangers With Candy on Comedy Central, which he co-stared along with Amy Sedaris and Stephen Colbert.  Gregory is also a cast member of the hit show Pimprov, an improv show in Chicago about 4 pimps who took improv classes by accident. Gregory was such much fun to talk to!  In our conversation today, we talk about his early beginnings as a performer, his time on Strangers With Candy, and his opinions about the art of improv and comedy in general.  I had a great time, and I believe you will too my friends! Be sure to look this guy up, he’s truly an amazing person.  Check him out on the show Strangers With Candy, which currently can be viewed on Paramount +, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Roku Channel and Google Play.  You can also watch it for free on Pluto TV.  And if you’re in Chicago, don’t forget to check out Pimprov.  It truly is an amazing show that you will love.
