Gary Owen

Gary Owen at Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel

Saturday night deserves a comedian who is not afraid of the awkward truth. Gary Owen's No Hard Feelings Tour leans into the personal stories and everyday contradictions that make his stand-up recognizable. The fun is in hearing someone say the thing everyone else was trying to phrase politely.

Owen’s material draws on personal life and military experience, giving his observations a recognizable human starting point. The attraction is a comedian willing to look at life’s contradictions and find the humor in them. If you like stories with a direct point of view, that personality gives you a reason to choose this particular headliner for your Saturday.

You may know him through Think Like a Man or BET’s The Gary Owen Show. This outing puts his stand-up work at the center, a chance to see the comic as himself rather than follow a film character. Longtime fans can make a plan around a familiar name; newcomers have a clear introduction to the kind of storyteller they’re going to see.

Make your Saturday a little less polite and a lot funnier. Gary Owen's Detroit stop gives the No Hard Feelings Tour a weekend audience; see the ticket choices.
