Normally we'd begin our news installment with tour updates, but because this is something I've been practically slaving away at since April, and it's now the largest part of the site (save for the Galleries), I deemed it best to announce it first. I am referring to, of course... the release of the brand-new, totally refurbished Video Clips page!!! The new Video Clips page now currently features exactly 188 videos for your downloading and viewing pleasure, 132 of those which are completely new to this site! It's a hell of a list, but all of the new clips are listed below:
- A Day In The Afterlife Of Philip K. Dick Part 1 So, what are you waiting for? Please check out the new Video Clips page now (as found in the Media section of the site)! All comments are appreciated - it's been a lot of long, hard work to pull this all together! However, if our grand new video archive isn't enough for you, and you're interested in doing a bit of reading, we have uploaded six new Articles and Interviews as well! They include:
- Live Online Interview With Greg Proops (7/31/03)
What: The Greg Proops Chat Show Where: The New Largo At The Coronet Time: 9:00 PM Price: $20 Tickets: Call 310-855-0350 To Make Your Reservation Now!

As previously mentioned, Greg is featured in the film "Super High Me", a comical documentary about smoking marijuana for thirty days, and then not smoking at all for thirty days. Super High Me was released just a couple of days ago, and can now be ordered online here. (Region 1 only!) It is currently unknown whether or not this title will be available in stores - but my guess would be probably not. For all of our British viewers and UK Greg fans, Greg will be returning this season to the popular BBC show "Mock The Week". The air dates for Greg's appearance are currently unknown, but keep an eye out for him this season! Mock The Week begins its new lineup starting July 10th and will run for twelve weeks. Lastly, Greg has recently mentioned in an audio interview that he has done some voice work for "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", playing the role of a villian. Who his character is exactly, we are unsure of at this moment in time. We also do not know if this voice work was for the upcoming animated television series, or the film that is set to come out into theatres mid-August, as both are of the same name, and Greg did not specify. At the moment, our guess is that it was for the tv series, not the film. Updates will be posted about this as they come along! Lastly, but far from least, now it's time to list the compulsory tours and gigs updates! A few new shows have been added to Greg's schedule, including a standup gig in Pasadena at the Ice House on July 2nd, another Proops & Maron talk show on July the 3rd, and the next Greg Proops Chat Show is set for July 26th. The revised list of gigs are as follows:
What: Standup Venue: The Comedy Centre Where: Rutland, Vermont Time: 8:30 PM Price: $25 Tickets: Tickets can be ordered online by visiting this website. You can also order via telephone by dialing 1-866-666-HAHA (4242).

I just wanted to give y'all a head's up that the Video Clips and Music & Soundbites pages are still undergoing some serious, heavy reconstruction. I apologize for the long wait, but believe me, it's going to be well worth it. I am shooting to having both pages fully updated by the end of July, if not sooner. Thanks for your patience - it shall be well awarded!

To begin today's onset of Proops news, we have a tasty tidbit for you to nibble on: there is a possibility of a new television series that will feature Greg in a recurring role. This show is currently entitled "True Fashion", and has already begun filming. Whether or not the series will actually be picked up remains to be seen, but we can only hope and remain confident that perhaps later this year, or early the next, we will be able to see this new comedy. More information on True Fashion will be posted as it provides itself, so do stay tuned! Die-hard Proops fans will tell you just how difficult it is to get a hold of one of Greg's more fairly recent works, Cyxork 7, a science-fiction comedy that was produced in 2005. Though it was available for a very limited time via Amazon, it is now impossible to find, not even on notorious Ebay. But we have good news! MTV is releasing the film out on DVD, and it is available now for pre-order with a 38% discount. The DVD ships on July the 29th. If you're interested in pre-ordering the DVD now, please click this link. (Please note that this is a Region 1 DVD, meaning that it will only play in USA and Canadian players, unless your player is universal.) For all of our US viewers, Greg will be appearing on Wednesday night's episode of "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson", as broadcasted via CBS. Please check your local listings for exact times and channels! Lastly, Greg is the narrator of the audio versions of a popular British children's book series about a classroom pet hamster named Humphrey, the series being titled "According To Humphery". Though there are multiple books in print, so far only the first, "The World According To Humphrey", has been recorded onto CD (and is currently only available in the UK). However, on October 2nd of this year, the second book with narration by Mr. Proops, "Friendship According To Humphrey", will be released (again, UK only). If you're at all interested in this charming, cute story of a witty little hamster who helps to solve his friends' problems, you can preorder it on Amazon. Concerning live shows, a nice slew of new gigs have been added to Greg's schedule. We also now have some ticket information for you concerning some of the Whose Live Anyway? shows, as well as the Upfront Theatre shows this weekend. The updated schedule and consequential information is as follows:
What: Ryan & Greg & Friends / Stiles & Proops Unplanned Venue: The Upfront Theatre Where: Bellingham, Washington Time: 7:30 PM Both Nights For "Ryan & Greg & Friends", 9:30 PM Both Nights For "Stiles & Proops Unplanned" Price: $15 For All Shows Tickets: Tickets must be purchased in person at the box office. Tickets go on sale June 4th. You can also call 360-733-8855 for more information.

As you probably have noticed, unless you are new to this site (if so, welcome!), I have changed the layout. The green was nice, but this layout is supposed to be A) more professional, B) have better text quality, and C) all around look spiffier. Comments on GPN's new look are welcome! Enjoy, all, and thanks again for visiting Greg Proops Net!

Greg has never hidden the fact that he enjoys marijuana. He has spoken about it in countless interviews and during stand-up routines, and has marched for medical marijuana rights. Thus, it doesn't come as a shock to hear that Greg is one of many comedians featured in the new film "Super High Me", a documentary by Doug Benson about smoking marijuana. The film is centered loosely on 'what happens if you don't smoke pot for 30 days, and then you smoke it for 30 days'. The DVD for this is being released on June 17th, and can be pre-ordered online by going to this website. Along the same stream of new Greg films, yet another documentary is featuring Sir Proops, except this one is about Largo, the comedy club that for years was on Fairfax in Los Angeles (but is currently in the works of moving to a new location) and that just closed its doors. The documentary bases itself on its rich history of music and comedy, showcasing a long string of comedians and musicians. Largo is where Greg has hosted all of his chat shows, so we can assume that some of the material in the documentary is taken from those. Though right now it has no release date, it will be playing at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 22nd. If you'd like to catch Greg live, a whole host of new shows (both improv and stand-up) have been added to his schedule! Check out the new, updated list below:
What: Standup Venue: Hilarities Comedy Club Where: Cleveland, Ohio Note: You Must Be 21 Or Over To Attend Times: Thursday - 8:00 PM, Friday - 7:30 or 10:15 PM, Saturday - 7:30 or 10:15 PM, Sunday - 7:30 PM Prices: Thursday & Sunday - $18, Friday - $23, Saturday - $25 Tickets: You Can Order Tickets Online Via This Link.

I've been working hard on the site lately, and as I'm now finally on summer break from university, I'll have a little more free time to update things and build more sections to the site. I've already added another chunk on. The 'Site' section is now open, with five of its areas construction. They include: ~ Link To Us: Currently we have 53 different buttons and banners available from you to pick from if you'd like to help spread the word about GPN, or if you'd like to display your love for the site. You're welcome to use as many buttons as you like to place wherever - MySpace, Livejournal, Facebook, etc. - just please be sure to link back to us at www.greg-proops.net! Please help us out and use some buttons! ~ Fanlistings: It's just a small page, linking to our fanlisting, The Official Greg Proops Fanlisting, as well as some other Greg-related fanlistings. ~ Sidenotes & Disclaimers: This is a rather important page discussing rules of the site, some background information on what we allow and don't, as well as a host of disclaimers. ~ The Suggestion Box: Have a suggestion or idea for the site that you'd like to see implemented? Would you like to see something changed? If you think that you have a good notion, drop us a line at the Suggestion Box and we'll see what we can do. ~ The Archive: There's actually nothing to this page at the moment, but some time in the future, it will hold old records, news, removed pages, etc. Also, though a part of the Creative section of the site, we've also added: ~ Wallpapers: Does your computer desktop need a bit of sprucing? Then do check out our new Wallpapers page, currently hosting 15 wallpapers, made by a variety of talented artists, including yours truly. Use any of these wallpapers for a bit of Speccy Spice. Lastly, the Video Clips and Music & Soundbites pages are being revamped a bit, which is why they haven't been updated lately. But believe me, when they are done, they will be about twice, if not three times, as big as they are now - absolutely jam-packed with new materials and downloads! So keep your eyes open for that!

We just have a quick update for you concerning show dates, times, and TICKETS! The tickets for the Bell Centre, Surry show and the Kelowna show for Whose Live Anyway are now on sale! I have provided purchasing links below. Also, a brand-new show featuring just Greg and Ryan Stiles has also been announced. It is this upcoming Wednesday, and almost as soon as it was announced, it was sold out. However, if you're in the Hollywood area, there will still be a stand-by line, and so you might still be able to get in. Lastly, two new stand-up dates have been added - one in Sparks, Nevada on the 24th of May, and one tomorrow night with Comedy Death Ray in Hollywood.

Though this site is far from being done, over the last few months, GPN has increased in size dramatically. A grand array of features and multimedia have been uploaded to the site in the short time that it has been open. Just a few of the sections currently open (and constantly being added to) include: ~ The Galleries: So far we have over 1700 photographs and screencaps in our ever-growing Galleries section! New galleries and pics are being added to it constantly, so keep checking back for the latest and greatest pics. From stand-up work to improv, to behind the scenes to film and television work, if you love pictures, surely you cannot pass up the Galleries! ~ Video Clips: Currently our Video Clips section (found under 'Media') hosts almost 60 downloadable, watchable Greg clips, including (but not limited to) all twelve episodes of The Green Screen Show, two episodes of Rendez-View, the premiere episode of VS., the 2001 broadcasting of Improv All-Stars, snippets from Greg's appearance on The Weakest Link, and much, much more. This section is also being consistently added to, so be sure to pop in every so often to catch up with our newest upload! And feel free to download the clips directly onto your computer - or just streamline them from here! ~ Music & Soundbites: Also found under Media, though not as impressive as some of our other sections, this section is still worth browsing through, if you'd like to hear some of Greg's singing on Nightmare Before Christmas, listen to him as the snarky, snooty American agent on Flight Of The Conchords, or if you'd like to hear an audio interview or two. This page will soon be doubling in size, as I have a lot more uploading to do. ~ Interviews & Articles: As far back as 1996 up until present day, we have collected over 40 various articles and interviews concerning Sir Proops. These are quite a read and many are packed with a lot of history and information concerning Greg's likes and dislikes, past, and career. Included are a few articles that Greg himself has written! ~ Fanart: Hosted in the Creative section, be sure to check out some lovely fanart created by a artists as they celebrate their appreciate for Greg and his work through various art medias. There are definitely some talented pieces in there, so be sure to check out their fab work! ~ Icons & Avatars: Also situated in the Creative area of the site, we currently have well over 300 Greg icons and avatars designed and created by a vast array of fans for fans. If you own a blog, Livejournal, or if you like to hang out on forums, these icons are great to use for any one of those functions, among others. (Credit to the original creator is appreciated!) Even if you don't wish to use them, they are still worth a browse, as many are chuckle-worthy. We thank all those who have worked hard with their select talents - whether it be fanart, icons, photographs, and more! More, new sections will be added to the site momentarily. I am persistently updating this place, even though I do not write about it on the main page until a later date. I simply suggest just browsing through every so often to see if you can spot something new. A big warm 'thank you' to those of you have been supportive of GPN thus far. Your kind words are greatly appreciated. I only hope that all visitors will continue to enjoy the site!

Hello, and welcome to Proopalicious: Greg Proops Net, the all-new website for actor and comedian Greg Proops! I am Diane, your humble webmistress, and tour guide on this journey through Proopsism in its newly created niche for fans of all ages across the globe. As this site is just barely opening its virtual doors to the waves of the world wide web, it is best to mention that GPN is still heavily under construction! Many pages or links you click might not work at the moment, but that someday in the near future, they will take you to the intended destination. I urge you to keep checking back to the site frequently, as new features, items, and sections will (hopefully) be premiering weekly! However, I am a full-time college student, so I kindly implore that you display patience with me and my budjeted time as I continue to expand this site. My goal is to have everything completed and running smoothly by the end of summer. If you'd be at all interested in helping us get rolling, a great way to lend a hand is to send in contributions. Fanart, photographs, comics, icons and avatars, banners, wallpapers, fanfiction, etc., or even site suggestions and ideas for things you want to see developed are all readily accepted with appreciation. If you have anything you'd like to send me, please email me at webmistress_diane@greg-proops.net! I am looking for affiliates as well! If you're wondering just what exactly this site will one day encompass, pop on over to one of my other fansites, our sister sites, Idleized Heaven or Ryan Stiles Net. I have been running Idleized Heaven (IH) for almost five years now, and it is a perfect example of how I run websites and the kind of quality and effort I pour into my work. Likewise, Ryan Stiles Net is an extremely popular site that is constantly growing, and GPN will be a very similar parallel to RSN. A lot of the designs and features from IH and RSN will eventually be seen here. As for chatting and discussions, soon our forum will be open. For the meantime, we have the tagboard as well as the news area commenting system (which can be seen below each update titled 'Comments'). Please feel free to use these systems, but understand that I reserve the right to block certain people if needs be and to delete posts. Just be please be courteous to everyone, don't use my systems for advertising, and keep the topics Greg-based. I hope that everyone will come to enjoy Greg Proops Net! Thanks for visiting! |
Five new Icons and Avatars and two new wonderful pieces of Fanart have become additional items for viewing on the site! 
The Archive page has finally been updated, but only simply with a screenshot of our first, original layout.
