This first clip dates back to 2007. Peter was performing a benefit show for the Puget Sound Community School (on a show where three students from that school also performed) at the old Comedy Underground-Seattle location.
This second clip comes from December 2011. Peter had been off the road for a bit and felt a little rusty--but thought this set went well enough to post, for you to get a better feel for what Peter does in his show.
The clip is from the graduation show for the students of the class that Peter teaches with Stu Stuart. (The performer right before Peter, a student named Jeff, kind of looks like Santa...and that's important to figure out one of the first jokes...)
Admittedly, the video quality isn't strong...but the audio is good.

No, literally, I once laughed my balls off. Peter has a great way of presenting something that another comic would offend me by saying and making me like it. He is very likeable and an extremely hard working comic"--Jeff Dye (comments made on Comedy Soapbox) - "Can I just tell you how much I enjoyed your performance the other night, Peter? It takes a lot for me to quote another comic and you got me."--Elliott Maxx - "I can say that I truly appreciate the experience of one Peter Greyy, sharing the classroom as well as the stage. Thank you one more time."--Adi Fejzic (from the Speaks You English tour of the Balkans and workshops) 2013 - "I have a lot of respect for what you do as a comic. Cranking out 3 plus minutes of current event/topical material a week is not easy, and it shows how much you love to write. You are Seattle's one man 'Best Week Ever' show."--Gabriel Rutledge (in reply to pg's Comedy Soapbox blog) - "Peter is one of the hardest working comics I know. Always professional and a comedy writing machine--Peter knows pretty much everything there is to know. And, when I say 'everything,' I don't mean boring things like math and science--I mean things like, 'Who was the stunt double for Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon 3'?' Yeah, he probably knows that."--Matt Schmidt (comments made on Comedy Soapbox) - "Peter Greyy has the ability to write like no other comic I've ever met--he always goes beyond the expected on tags to any given joke.

Peter's patience, announcements, taxi service, and opening joke salvo were timely, perfect, and dare we say, moistening? We dare. Contact Peter for any MC work. He's on the spot. Thank you Peter!"(from haxtv.com after the World Premiere Party for the HAX-TV sketch comedy show, 2005) - "Peter Greyy: The Only News Source Funnier Than FOX"-Daniel Carroll - "Peter Greyy reads more news than can possibly be healthy. The proof of this is that he actually finds humor in it.

I doubt that many of the comics in the Puget would be where they are without your selfless efforts. I humbly bow before you sir."--Dan Rock (MySpace comment)
