David Glickman - Corporate Comedian

Corporate Comedian David Glickman provides clean, clever, customized comedy entertainment for your convention, meeting, sales rally or banquet. This comedian will highlight your event with comedy material about YOUR people, YOUR industry, YOUR products, YOUR services.

Comedian and professional speaker David Glickman will inspire and boost morale with great laughs and song parodies. No two programs are ever alike. Your group will be highly flattered and impressed when they realize that you have had the program written “just for them.”
A program that will only be used for that one event and never again.

This is not a comedian or humorist performing the same show they’ve done hundreds of times. This is The “Insert The Name of Your Group Here” Show, featuring laughs and songs all about you. The performance will entertain and boost morale. Most importantly, it will show your group that you really care about them. It will show them that you will go the extra step to give them something special.

Customized Corporate Comedy has been used for conventions, sales rallies, awards programs, after dinner entertainment, corporate retreats, holiday parties, and many other business functions. The program can also include any information or message you might want added for your group. It’s easy to do when the show is written specifically for you.

Some clients request that the program be opened by David Glickman pretending to be a “subject matter expert” in their industry. Perhaps he can “roast” your dignitaries. He can also serve as a very funny Master of Ceremonies. He can also perform a non-customized comedy show as a second show for your event. Save money by using David Glickman for several functions at the same event.

The pre-show research places little or no burden on your staff or members. A few efficient telephone interviews usually take care of everything. The program requires very little in the way of audio-visual setup. For the musical portion of the program David Glickman“wears” a battery-powered musical keyboard around his neck on a strap. The keyboard is easily connected to the same sound system as the microphone.

Audiences especially love the song parodies that close every program.
