A nationally-known stand-up comedian and meeting host, whose clean,
customized, business savvy humor is perfect for the corporate environment,
Chicago Magazine calls Greg Schwem “America’s favorite corporate
funnyman.” The Chicago Tribune proclaimed Greg “king of the
hill” in the growing world of corporate comedy. Indeed, Greg’s
client list includes such corporate heavyweights as McDonald’s,
Motorola, IBM, Verizon Wireless, United Airlines and Cisco Systems. If
your corporate group wants to laugh at today’s fast-paced business
world, look no further than Greg Schwem and “Comedy With a Byte.”
A graduate of Northwestern University’s prestigious
Medill School of Journalism, Greg Schwem never envisioned
a career in comedy. Instead, he settled in Florida, becoming
an award-winning reporter for NBC-owned WPTV in West Palm
Beach. But the comedy bug bit Greg hard and he returned
to his hometown of Chicago, where he honed his act in clubs.
When he began inserting material about computers into his
nightclub act, audience members approached him and said,
“you really should come down to my office and tell
those jokes.” Behold! Comedy With a Byte was born.
Greg’s show provides a hilarious look at today’s
corporate environment and the latest tools used to conduct
business. What sets Greg Schwem apart from other corporate
comedians is his ability – and willingness –
to customize material for his audience. When Greg hits the
stage he already has perused the company’s Internet
site, combed the internal message boards and even sifted
through numerous PowerPoint presentations. “There
is no such thing as too much information,” Greg says.
“I know corporate audiences like to laugh at themselves
so the more ammunition I get, the funnier it will be. Just
don’t give me a 10-K report. There is NOTHING funny
about that.”
