Ever since he was a teenager, George Wallace dreamed of becoming a comedian.  Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Wallace eventually re-located to Ohio at sixteen years of age after the death of his mother.  After working at the Firestone Tire company for some time, George enrolled at the University of Akron.  At Akron, Wallace studied business and transportation, but upon graduation he would move to New York City with hopes to make good on his original dream.  Working first as a salesman to pay the bills, the comedian George Wallace would get his chance to take the stage, when in 1977 a friend of his opened a comedy club.  It was only up from there.  Wallace proved to be a hit, so he stayed in New York for a while, rooming with Jerry Seinfeld.  Years later, Wallace would be the best man at Seinfeld’s wedding.  In 1978, the comedian George Wallace took his comedy act to the West Coast, where he was soon asked to write for the Redd Foxx Show.  He did this for about a year, then found his calling back on the stage.  Eventually, Wallace would become a regular at the renowned Comedy Store.  His act would go on to open for some of the best names in the music business, including Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson. 

His moonlighting work as a stand-up comedian helped him to cross over to film where he has co-starred in several motion pictures including BATMEN FOREVER, LITTLE NICKY, A RAGE IN HARLEM, POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE and several more.

In television, he boasts a number of guest-starring credits including Seinfeld, In The Heat Of The Night, Tall Hopes and The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, just to name a few.

In 1995, after 4 years of being considered, the comedian George Wallace rose to the top of the standup ranks, garnering the honor of “Best Male Standup Comedian” as awarded at the American Comedy Awards. 

Today George is Headlining at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas.
