Unity Church for Creative Living (UCCL), in St. Johns, is hosting a Comedy Concert featuring award-winning songwriter, author and humorist Greg Tamblyn on February 26 at 12:30 p.m. Dubbed “a contemporary Mark Twain” by author Dr. Larry Dossey, Tamblyn will provide attendees a healthy dose of comic relief with his irreverent humor and sideways view of life. UCCL invites everyone to come and get a comedy hangover that lasts all week.

    With a list of national awards to his credit, including multiple Best Comedy Song awards from the Posi Music Awards, Just Plain Folks Music Awards and the Music City Song Festival, Tamblyn's unique musical wit provides the perfect dose of “conscious comic relief” from the workday blues, global anxiety and personal challenges.

    His current mission, and one of his funniest comedy bits, is “Saving the World From Whiny Victim Love Songs.” His concerts feature songs like Analog Brain in a Digital World; Self-Employment Made Harder by Difficult Boss; I'd Like To Be the Man My Dog Thinks I Am; The Shootout at the I'm OK, You're OK Corral; and My Life is a Beer Commercial. As a professional songwriter in Nashville, Tamblyn appeared nationally on television and had songs recorded by other artists from Canada to the Philippines. One of his own records, It's Another Joyful Elvis Presley Christmas, was named Christmas Single of the Year in Cashbox Magazine.
