—Greg singing in "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car"

Greg is the original yellow Wiggle and the original lead singer of The Wiggles. He was the yellow Wiggle from 1991 until 2006, when he left to obtain medical treatment for a condition known as orthostatic intolerance. He passed the role to Sam for a few years, until briefly returning in 2012. The following year, he passed the role to Emma and then she eventually passed the role to Tsehay in 2021. He also appeared as a guest in Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas! (2017) and still occasionally performs in reunion concerts as the yellow Wiggle.

Official Description[]

Greg is the lead vocalist, and enjoys singing and dancing because it makes him happy. He is also a magician and performs many amazing tricks. Greg says "Not all of my magic tricks work, but they are still a lot of fun". He wears a yellow skivvy, black pants and a very kind smiling face.

Biography[]

Greg was the lead singer in the original incarnation of the group, singing lead on most of the group's songs. He has played guitar, keyboards and drums in the videos and at concerts, making him one of the only Wiggles alongside Sam and Jeff to have played all three of the other Wiggle's lead instruments.

Greg is also known for doing magic tricks during the classic years of The Wiggles. While most of his magic tricks were successful with help from the audience, he could never manage to pull the rabbit out of his hat.

Trivia[]

  • He is the oldest yellow wiggle.
  • He is the tallest Wiggle of the original generation and of all of the members (6'4).
  • He is the youngest Wiggle of the original generation.
  • When Greg returned to the group in 2012, he was supposed to stay from January to August of that year. The reason why was because he was going to help transition from Sam to a new yellow Wiggle, who was going to be Simon. However, he was eventually asked to stay until the end of the year so he could finish alongside Murray and Jeff.

    • In addition, he and Anthony had a race to the department store for the blue shirt when getting their coloured skivvies. "Haha, victory! I'm not sure if Pagey ever liked yellow." Anthony said in an interview.
    • He is the only wiggle who has not played or created any of the wiggles friends not counting doing the voice for puppet Captain Feathersword.
