WATERLOO, Iowa – Iowa wrestling legend Dan Gable and acclaimed stand-up comedian and wrestling All-American Greg Warren are teaming up for a special, family-friendly evening of laughter on Monday, July 13, 2026, at the Isle Casino Hotel in Waterloo. 

Greg Warren Live: A Night of Laughs with Dan Gable is a fundraiser to benefit the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum. There are only 300 tickets available at https://bit.ly/49BPPvk or by telephone at (319) 233-0745. 

The evening's festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a social hour followed by Warren performing his comedy show, The Champ, at 7 p.m.

Warren lettered four years in wrestling at the University of Missouri and qualified for the NCAA Division I Championships three times and finishing in the top four at the Big Eight Conference tournament three times. He earned All-America honors with a seventh-place finish as a senior in 1991. Warren received the Marshall Esteppe Most Outstanding Freshman award in 1988 and the Most Outstanding Wrestler award in 1991.

He was a two-time Missouri state wrestling champion for Kirkwood High School in St. Louis, winning back-to-back titles as a junior and senior after placing fifth as a sophomore. He was honored as an Outstanding American by the Missouri Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2016.

His father was a high school wrestling coach and his mother made him play clarinet in the band. Warren has captivated audiences with self-deprecating stories about the conflict in meshing his two different high school identities of high school wrestler and band geek.
