    About "Greg in LA":

    "Greg in L.A." originally began as a series on Instagram, where it quickly garnered a dedicated following thanks to its relatable humor and authentic storytelling. The creators, Sean Daniel Cunningham and Gregory Lay, captured the ups and downs of modern life in a way that resonated with viewers, leading to organic growth across social media. It was during this rise that the founders of 800 Pound Gorilla Media discovered the series, captivated by its charm and potential. Recognizing the opportunity to bring the beloved show to a wider audience, they approached Cunningham and Lay to produce a new season, marking an exciting new chapter for "Greg in L.A." as it transitions from social media to scripted content on their platforms.

    “We discovered Greg in L.A. on Instagram, and were immediately drawn to its quirky charm, heartwarming moments, and relatable humor. After speaking with producers Gregory Lay and Sean Cunningham, we realized they not only shared our vision for creating high-quality, hilarious content on a budget, but also had a strong desire to incorporate comedians into their show, making it the perfect choice for our first scripted project.”

    Created by Sean Daniel Cunningham and Gregory Lay, "Greg in L.A." follows the life of Greg, whose world is turned upside down when his wife unexpectedly leaves him and he loses his job—all within a single tumultuous week. As he navigates the vibrant yet bewildering landscape of Los Angeles, Greg finds solace in his loyal dog, Winston. Their occasional existential chats provide humor and depth to Greg's journey through awkward job interviews, dating misadventures, and the eclectic characters he meets along the way.
