George Wallace

Biography

George Wallace's comedy comes from his life experiences. George began his adult professional life selling rags to dentists, mechanics, airlines and all others who he could convince that there existed a need for these cloth items. However, after a year he decided it was time to move up from rags in search of riches. He began working in transit advertising, and within a couple of years, progressed to become Vice President of a company where he sold and supervised the selling of ad space on the sides of mass transit vehicles. Throughout this entire time, George was known as a successful businessman. Unbeknownst to all, his life in sales was only a pit stop on his strategically planned career path towards the first love of his life--COMEDY. Within a week, Wallace was seen on stage at a comedy club and was offered a job writing for The Red Foxx Show. He spent a year writing for the show by day and perfecting his standup routine by night. As his reputation grew, Wallace was suggested as a competitor for the cable television special The Big Laff Off. He won the competition, beating 150 entrants and captured the $2,000 first prize money.
