Hot picks: Gary Owen is at the Waterfront Improv

Owen it all to humor

When you join the Navy and end up in the Presidential Honor Guard in the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, what's left? Well, there's always the honor of being voted the funniest black comedian in San Diego.

Not bad for a buzz-cut white guy from Cincinnati.

Gary Owen, who also was the only white guy to host "Comic View" on the Black Entertainment Network, will show y'all how to talk the talk this weekend at the Pittsburgh Improv at the Waterfront in Homestead.

He performs at 8 p.m. Thursday, 8 and 10 p.m. Friday, 7 and 9 p.m. Saturday and 9 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $16-$18.
