Greg Behrendt January 22, 2010

January 23rd – 24th Laughs Comedy Spot in Kirkland, WA welcomes comedian, actor, author Greg Behrendt. Greg Behrendt was busier than ever in 2009. “Greg Behrendt’s Wake-up Call,” a show that taps into Behrendt's no-nonsense approach to relationships, premiered in January on SoapNet. “He’s Just Not That Into,” the movie, opened in theaters nationwide in February & was America’s number one movie. Behrendt’s second comedy DVD, “That Guy from That Thing,” was released in November. And of course, Greg hit the road with the “Greg Behrendt’s Totally Into You Comedy Tour.”

Greg Behrendt is the co-author of the three-million-copy bestseller, “He’s Just Not That Into You,” and established himself as a voice of reason and inspiration for all of us negotiating, and sometimes drowning in, the treacherous waters of romantic relationships. Co-authored with “Sex and the City” story editor, Liz Tuccillo, the book became the publishing phenomenon of the year after its release in September 2004. The book shot to the #1 slot on the bestseller lists worldwide, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today. Oprah Winfrey devoted two shows to Behrendt and the book’s simple, but powerful message. Behrendt also made numerous television appearances including NBC’s “Today Show,” “20/20” and “Larry King Live” on CNN. After a fierce bidding war, New Line Cinema acquired the film rights to “He’s Just Not That Into You.” The film was released worldwide on February 6, 2009 with a stellar cast including, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson and Ben Affleck and helped propelled the paperback edition of the book back to the top of the best seller lists.

September 2006 saw Behrendt launch the self-titled syndicated talk show, “The Greg Behrendt Show”, for Sony Pictures Television. The show featured Behrendt’s signature humor and advice when it comes to all kinds of relationships – including those with family, friends, romantic partners and relationships in the workplace.

In 2005 Warner Bros. released Greg’s debut stand up comedy DVD, “Greg Behrendt Is Uncool,” which is the follow-up to his comedy CD entitled, “UNCOOL.” In 2009 he released his follow up DVD, “That Guy From That Thing”. Behrendt was a consultant for three consecutive seasons on HBO’s “Sex and the City” in which he brought his original male point-of-view to the writing staff. His acclaimed stand-up comedy has been seen on HBO, “The Tonight Show,” “Late Show w/David Letterman,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and Comedy Central. He was named by Variety in 2001 as one of the “10 Comics to Watch.” In April 2006, he was honored by COSMOPOLITAN magazine as one of the twelve “Fun, Fearless Males”.
