Greg Morton is a high-energy comedian and master impressionist whose act blends rapid-fire voices, sharp pop culture satire, and unforgettable storytelling. Best known for his viral Star Wars routine and his semi-finalist run on America’s Got Talent, Greg has racked up millions of online views and wowed audiences worldwide. From cartoon icons to music legends, movie heroes to politicians, he channels entire casts of characters with ease, wit, and nonstop laughs — making him one of comedy’s most unique entertainers.

 

At age 16, Greg Morton got first job at a local department store, as a P.A. announcer.  That same voice that grabbed the attention of shoppers,  recently wowed judges, on the season 14 premier of America’s Got Talent.
Howie Mandel said, “I can’t believe there isn’t a banner with your name on it in Vegas,” and called him a one-man variety show!
 
After 35 years of entertaining audiences worldwide, opening for Celine Dion, Harry Connick Jr. and Luther Vandross at Radio City Music Hall – appearing on Just for Laughs, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, Comic’s Unleashed, and his own Dry Bar Comedy Special, he’s coming here to perform for Yuma, AZ.

Thank you Don Friesen for once again bringing the community together for an evening of joy and inspiration. This special Father's Day event tapped into something special that people were really grabbing on to and that everyone seemed very connected with.
 
It was wonderful to hear a common message from community leaders, fellow Yumans and even the Art Center Staff about what a beautiful evening it truly was!
