The Bonkerz Seal of Approval
Google defines Seal of Approval as a status or a recognition given to a product, service, or concept that meets certain criteria created by an organization or person.
The Bonkerz Seal of Approval is required before any comic can work for Bonkerz. These requirements include a commitment to professionalism, as well as providing a great experience for the audience. Bonkerz’ comics are given an itinerary for each venue that outlines show times, content requirements, contact information, lodging details and even a minimum time frame they must appear at the venue before the show.
Bonkerz’ comics typically work multiple Bonkerz venues every year. Some of our headlining comedians work as much as half of their calendar year just working for us. Their actions at each of our venues relates to their employment at all of our venues. Doing a good job in one location is how they earn the opportunity to work all of our locations. The converse is also true, so you can rest assured that the Bonkerz Seal of Approval is not easily earned and something that comics must maintain in order to perform at any and all Bonkerz locations.

Greg Warren
Greg Warren, most recently seen on “The Late Late Show” and “Comedy Central Presents” has built a strong fan base with an act inspired by his Midwestern upbringing.
Comedy Albums
His CDs, “Running Out of Time” (Sept 2013) and “One Star Wonder” (June 2009) hit #3 and #6 respectively in iTunes Top Comedy Albums. An honest mix of self-deprecation, frustration and an arsenal of lifelike characters highlight Greg’s colorful perspective.
Diverse
Greg attracts a diverse audience spectrum, having performed as a “Coming to the Stage” finalist on BET and on Country Music Television’s “Comedy Stage.” He is also a favorite on the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom radio show, which led to touring theaters across the country with The Bob & Tom All Stars Comedy Tour.
High School
Greg hails from St. Louis, MO, where his father was a high school wrestling coach, and his mother made him play clarinet in the band. He has captivated audiences with anecdotes about the conflict inherent in meshing the two disparate high school identities of varsity wrestler and band geek. Greg’s “Flute Man” bit is a perfect encapsulation of the insecurities of high school and the ongoing quest to be cool. Not to mention, it is one of the most requested bits in the history of the Bob & Tom Show. Greg was also a West Point Cadet, where he distinguished himself by amassing an impressive tally of demerits and endless hours of pointless marching. After moving on to the University of Missouri, he studied journalism and became an All-American college wrestler.
Full-Time Comedian
During college, Greg won a comedy contest and was invited to perform at Déj‡ Vu, a local club in Columbia, MO. Greg made the decision to become a full-time comedian after a stint selling Jif and Pringles for corporate giant Procter & Gamble. This bold move led to an invitation to Montreal’s prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in 2002. Greg performed as one of the featured New Faces of Comedy. In addition he was on the Comedy Central series “Premium Blend” and “Bob and Tom Radio Show: The Comedy Tour.”
Radio
Greg’s background resulted in a gig doing college wrestling color commentary for Fox Sports Midwest. Similarly, he is heard daily on Sirius/XM Comedy radio and headlines at Improv and Funny Bone comedy.
