Gary Owen in Gary Owen: #DoinWhatIDo — Chip Atkins / Showtime

Gary Owen returns to the stage for his fourth Showtime comedy special Gary Owen: #DoinWhatIDo, premiering Saturday, September 7.

In the hour-long special filmed at Charline McCombs Empire Theatre in San Antonio, Owen bursts with energy as he recounts stories. He talks about every, including his early days as a wrestler and as a military recruit, his 20-year friendship with Kevin Hart, his reaction to his daughter dating, and one of the greatest things he has ever heard at a football game.

Whether he is sharing an irreverent anecdote or confronting a number of polemic issues including race and recent high-profile scandals, Owen reminds us that in an age of social media, no one is safe from oversharing.
