  • George Wallace can roll a dead room with humor
    Nov 20 2023

    There's nothing George Wallace hasn't done. He's written for Redd Fox, appeared on high-profile radio shows, won numerous comedy awards, appeared in movies and on television, and was a featured performer in Las Vegas for a decade. But at 71-years-old he still can't give up the lure of the road, the bright lights, and the raucous laughter from his audience. He's known as "the guy that can roll the room over if it's dead." But most of all, he's just a really nice guy with a passion for making people laugh. In this episode, we talk with George about how he knew he wanted to be a comedian at the tender age of six and why he's still chasing that dream.
