Greg Giraldo is amazing. Roasting is his calling. And apparently being featured in piss hole clubs across the country.

WAY underrated. He did a couple of episodes of Z Rock on IFC. you should check it out. He was great.

Does Greg Giraldo have a real job? The only gigs I see him in are these roasts.
