Greg Proops

The always-dapper American comedian Greg Proops with his retro hair, glasses, interesting voice and quirky mannerisms is best known for his unpredictable appearances on “Whose Line is it Anyway?”, the hit US improvised comedy show hosted by Drew Carey. Proops is also a regular on the long-running British version of the same show.

Proops' other television appearances include The Drew Carey Show, Just Shoot Me, Talk Soup, Politically Incorrect, The Wayne Brady Show and Hollywood Squares.

Indeed, Proops has a veritable catalogue of film and TV appearances to his name, including guest appearances on Chelsea Lately on E!, The Late, Late show with Craig Ferguson, the voice of an animated character in Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace, as well as the voice of Bob the Builder on the popular children’s series seen in the USA on PBS.

Proops, also a prominent stand-up comedian, has toured the world with his self-deprecating, flamboyant, quick comedy style, laden with depth, range, and most importantly, great jokes.

Proops who was last in New Zealand in 2004 for the International Comedy Festival, told New Zealand Herald journalist Greg Dixon, he prefers live comedy: “On television, you can’t swear, you can’t say anything pertinent or the truth or anything like that. Live I’m going to be more myself, or a stage version of myself, and there is no one there to edit it. It’s much more immediate and interactive with the crowd. It’s more fun. I love it. I have no patience and it’s instant gratification. ”

Don’t miss Greg Proops live this April/May.
