Budd Friedman and Mark Lonow, co-owners of The Improv at Harrah's Las Vegas, are proud to introduce very special guest headliner Greg Behrendt to The Improv October 21st-23rd, with supporting act Mark Normand. Behrendt is a man of many talents: comedian, bestselling author, talk show host, producer and more.
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 those negotiating, and sometimes drowning in, the treacherous waters of romantic relationships. Co-authored with HBO's 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, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
Oprah Winfrey devoted two shows to Behrendt and the book's simple, but powerful, message. He has also made numerous television appearances including NBC's Today Show, 20/20 and
Larry King Live.
New Line Cinema turned the book into a film released worldwide with a stellar cast including
Jennifer Aniston,
Drew Barrymore,
Scarlett Johansson and
Ben Affleck, and helped propel the paperback edition of the book back to the top of the bestseller's lists.
In 2005, Behrendt, along with his wife, co-authored a follow-up relationship guide titled "It's Called a Break-Up Because It's Broken." For the second time, Behrendt struck gold, and the book immediately jumped to the top of the book charts including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com.
Behrendt has also had great success with his comedy and standup specials. His acclaimed stand-up comedy has been seen on HBO, Comedy Central, The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno, Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with
Conan O'Brien. Other credits include The Greg Behrendt Show, Greg Behrendt's Wake-up Call, That Guy from That Thing and Greg Behrendt Is Uncool. He was a consulting producer on NBC's Love Bites and was also 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.
