  Comedian James Gregory
  James Gregory was called "America's Funniest Man" after he performed for the first time in 1982.

SEMA Showgoers will be able to unwind after a busy week in Las Vegas as comedian James Gregory entertains attendees of the SEMA Industry Awards Banquet on Thursday, November 4, 2010, at 7:30 p.m. at the Las Vegas Hilton. Tickets to the annual celebration are available to those registered for the 2010 SEMA Show.

Heard weekly on syndicated radio shows throughout the country, Gregory was described by a Huntsville Times critic as “America’s Funniest Man” after he performed for the first time ever in 1982. Gregory has since entertained thousands with his carefree humor, often based on personal observations of crazy relatives and real-life people. He will be sharing his stories with SEMA Showgoers at the upcoming Industry Awards Banquet, taking place the night before the last day of the Show.

The banquet is considered by many to be the industry’s greatest celebration, where more than 3,000 individuals gather to witness the announcement of the Person of the Year, Rep of the Year, WD of the Year and more.

Over the past 18 months, our nation has experienced what many have identified as a modern depression. Business owners from all industries have experienced lower earnings and a real threat toward their corporate survival. Those with capital are avoiding disaster, but often not until a major reduction in work force has to be implemented. For others, cutting key resources might be the only step to survival, which has meant reducing or eliminating critical insurance coverages and thereby putting the business on the edge of financial disaster with no safety net after just one claim. The experiences are real to automotive specialty-equipment jobbers and installers who have been the first to experience a tremendous reduction by consumers purchasing automotive specialty parts and accessories.
