Garie Lewis

On Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 2:00pm the Betty Strong Encounter Center welcomes Sioux City-based standup comic Garie Lewis to its stage. Admission is free with a reception to follow.

Garie genuinely loves performing stand-up.  Whether it is at a comedy club, a huge theatre crowd, or a handful of friendly folks at a small venue, it is all the same to him.  He just needs a microphone and an audience who is ready to be entertained.

Garie’s act is polished after 40 years’ experience.  He has the confidence to riff with the audience, pick up the guitar and belt out a song or two, tell a side-splitting story or rattle off a series of well-crafted jokes. Garie has been a contestant on both Last Comic Standing and Showtime’s Funniest Person in Iowa Contest.  He has performed at the Snow Jam Comedy Festival and has had television appearances on Comedy Gallery Live and Night Shift with Kevin Ferguson.  He starred in the Indie short film “The Ghost in Her” and has several theater acting credits to his name.  He has worked with such notable acts as Steven Wright, Tommy Chong, Steve Harvey, and Credence Clearwater “Revisited.”
