Greg Giraldo is one of the hottest comics in the country. Socially provocative and yet broadly funny, Greg has become one of the most versatile and highly entertaining comics working today.
Recently, Greg shot The Root of All Evil for Comedy Central. His debut comedy album, Good Day to Cross a River (Comedy Central Records), dropped in October. In 2006, he hosted The Stand Up Show with Greg Giraldo on Comedy Central and he has appeared on the Comedy Central Roast. On past shows, Greg has roasted Pamela Anderson, Howard Stern and Jeff Foxworthy and Katt Williams.
Greg is well known from his stint as a regular panelist on Comedy Central's Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. In addition to his two half hour stand-up specials, Comedy Central Presents...Greg Giraldo, Greg also has performed on Late Show with David Letterman (CBS), and he has been a guest on Late Night with Conan O' Brien (NBC) a dozen times.
In late 2004, Greg released an enormously successful song with producer LaZBoy entitled "Underwear Goes Inside the Pants" that has received a tremendous amount of airplay on both Modern rock and Top 40 radio across the country.
Over his career Greg has created and starred in sitcom pilots for NBC and CBS, and was given the opportunity to develop and star in his own ABC sitcom, "Common Law," which was loosely based on his experiences at a New York law firm.
While in New York Greg is known to be a regular at Manhattan clubs-like Gotham Comedy Club and the Comedy Cellar.
When he is not touring comedy clubs, colleges, theaters and corporate events, he can be found living in New York City with his wife and three young boys whom he believes to be his own.

I was looking for a good excuse to check out the space anyway. Need to work on *my* stuff for a change!
Haha! Yeah - this seems like the kind of thing I should organize, actually :)
great idea! I won't make it but love the peer pressure, works for me every time.
Awesomeness. Might I also suggest a Facebook event if you haven't already made one?
I love the idea but can't make it to this one. Hopefully it goes well and you set up another. :)
Can't wait!
great idea Chris
this is a great idea. I need to get over my blog laziness...
Great Idea! Plus, I'm planning on dropping by anyway!
WEEEE!
Good blog drafts are like wine, they age to perfection as they sit and wait. Or more probably, they go bad as events and developments make their points unnecessary and yesterday's post. Have fun without me friends as I am still far far away.
I just had a look at the number of posts I've got in drafts... 162... That's just scary.
I obviously can't make it to Citizen Space, being in the wrong country and all, but I'll put some time aside this weekend to go through and cut out the irrelevant/old posts that will never see the light of day, and dig out the great ideas that should be turned into posts.
I'll email ahead to make sure space is available.
I've increased the guestlist to 20, so hopefully folks marked as attending mean it! ;)
I'll be wondering over from web 2.0 summit - anyone else walking over from the Palace and want some company?
I'll be there in spirit. Cannot make it in person unfortunately
Chris, I think you've hit on something here. It's like a mini-National Novel Writing Month. Should be a regular, cross-country event.

This is a great idea! I'd definitely come by if I were in SF. I don't have many drafts in WordPress, but there are lots of them in my head...
