#20 Series Comedy/Magic Discussion with Greg Otto

03/14/23 • 23 min

On this second of two short interviews with comic-magician Greg Otto; where he shares how he was able to switch from close-up magic to comedy-magic, to standup comedy without any issues...amazing talent! He had success with the cruise lines, comedy clubs across the country, and as a long-time regular at Hollywood's Magic Castle. Bad audio quality due to disruptive phone connection; but good content just the same.

#19 Series Comedy/Magic Discussion with Greg Otto

We had some audio difficulties with this recording; but the story of Mr. Otto's career as a Magician AND standup comic is very different than most. Greg Otto started, like most, as a straight magician; but his interest in standup comedy took him to performing just standup on cruises, comedy clubs and TV. YET, he always had his comedy magic as a back-up plan. In fact, for several years, he pulled back on comedy and performed regularly at the Magic Castle in Hollywood doing both straight close-up magic and stage comedy magic. Very versatile variety talent!
