David Letterman
As the Comedy Imaginator, Eric Buss has entertained and amazed audiences
worldwide. His innovative and high energy brand of comedy has earned
him some of the industry’s top awards, and a reputation as one
of the funniest acts working today. Eric Buss is not a comedian telling
jokes about airline food. He is not a magician wearing a bright yellow
leotard. Eric is an imaginative performer with a knack for “funny.” Eric
Buss invites the audience into his world where hysterical antics are
brought to life.
About The Show
Corporate Events:
Eric’s high energy act is perfect for waking up the crowd at a
breakfast meeting. It’s perfect for keeping the otherwise long
awards ceremony moving at a rapid pace. It’s perfect for relieving
some tension after a long day of work. In other words, Eric’s perfect
for your corporate event! Imagine your corporate logo being the finale
of the show. Company messages and products can be intertwined into hilarious
routines. The CEO can also be the star of the show! As a bonus, Eric
controls all of his own music cues via a remote control from the stage.
There is no need for a technical rehearsal. In fact, Eric recommends
that the sound technician take a coffee break. This helps create a stress
free entertainment package. Eric’s goal is to make you look great!

Theatres:
Eric’s favorite place in the world is in the theatre. He has performed
in them all over the world. He is a master of adjusting his act to fit
into the small 60 seat theatres, and filling the large stages of the
5000 seat theatres. His zany props and lots of fast paced music give
the feel of a Las Vegas show. However, Eric is still able to connect
with everyone in attendance whether they are 8 or 80 years old.
Casinos:
Having performed in the critically acclaimed show “Fusion II” at
the Horizon Casino in Lake Tahoe for a year, Eric knows the importance
of keeping the show moving. There are many distractions in a casino.
There is not a lot of room for subtlety. Eric’s hyper personality
is a perfect fit for the revue show.
Fairs and Festivals:
Outdoor performances can be tricky. Although Eric can’t control
the weather (he’s working on that) he can guarantee a big turnout
at the outdoor stage. Unlike a theatre, where the audience is already
in their seats, outdoor shows require attracting a crowd, then keeping
them there. Eric’s ability to connect with people instantly and
play “BIG” make him the perfect choice for this otherwise “tough” situation. Comedy Clubs:
Eric’s fast paced act is perfect for the short attention span comedy
club audience! Plus, he fills the stage with his props, music, and his
personality, which gives the show a higher production value. Although
his act is always clean, comedy clubs give him the freedom of adding
some “edge.” Oh, and he’s hilarious!
Colleges:
Eric went to college. He even attended some of his classes and learned
stuff. More importantly he knows how to connect with the younger, hipper
crowds in college. If your campus books a comedian, they will get a
person talking into a microphone. If they book a musician, they will
get a person singing into a microphone. If you book Eric, you will
get fast-paced comedy, music, props, magic, crazy inventions and audience
participation all intertwined into a non-stop show with a Las Vegas
production value, that doesn’t break your budget.
