    STORY




    “Dylan moves his family to Nashville with dreams of people singing his songs by heart but a tragic December accident takes his oldest daughter from him and destroys his love of Christmas. Needing a miracle to pull him from the brink he is inspired to begin writing the stories and songs that surround him which reignites his dreams for his music to really matter. Emerging from the shadows of her big sister, Dylan's talented and intuitive daughter Sadie becomes a conduit towards healing and renewed faith. With wisdom beyond her years, and help from her special angel sister Molly, Dylan re-discovers a love for Christmas and a peace about the past. With God’s grace, support from an amazing wife and faithful family, and a gritty never give-up attitude, he realizes that his most important dreams are right in his own living room and to trust God’s plan for his life.”

    PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION

    The James Gregory show turns the clock back to a time when life was simpler; to a better time, before the death of common sense; a time when people sat on the front porch and actually talked to each other without a cell phone in their ear.
    James’ success, like his comedy, is the direct result of the values he grew up with. And now, twenty something years later, it is this unique brand of humor that packs the crowds into his sold-out shows. The absence of vulgarity sets James apart and his stories are carefully crafted art. “I have lived long enough to know people, know life”, Gregory reflects. “My comedy is based on my life experiences. It’s real, it’s funny and the audience loves it. That’s why I’m still in business.”  


    For decades, the unforgettable caricature of veteran comedian James Gregory has stood grinning: his shirt untucked, his arms outstretched, a carefree welcome to a down-home, hilarious comedy experience. It’s storytelling at its best. The trademark caricature is the essence of humorist James Gregory’s comedy: rib-tickling reflections on life from the front porch.
