"What is The Lauren Mayer Show"?
Every show is completely customized to the audience and the event, but here are some typical examples.

Corporate Meeting
Keynote Speaker (Bayview Bank, KL A Tencor, others)
Lauren began as a typical dry (i.e., boring) lecturer, then went into humor and music, much to the audience’s surprise and delight, and all custom-written about the focus of each meeting.

Her programs diffused the tension in merging different corporate cultures, introduced new products or sales campaigns, or helped celebrate company milestones.


Convention/Event Entertainment
(CAEYC, NAIW, Funeral Directors, others)

Lauren provided the entertainment for various conventions and meetings, including after dinner shows (sometimes including a band), opening sessions, and more. Using a combination of customized comedy, songs, and audience participation, she incorporated humor about each industry and organization to produce entertainment that delighted the guests.

Fundraiser – Emcee
(Peninsula JCC, Hillsborough Family Auxiliary, others)
Lauren was the host and master of ceremonies for these fundraisers; and in between speakers, slide shows, and other programs, she performed customized comedy, sang custom written songs, and interacted with the audience. She was also the auctioneer for the live auction, helping boost donations with humor and panache.

Women’s Groups - Entertainer
(Dress for Success, Temple Beth El, others)
Various women’s groups love having entertainment that is uniquely tailored to their organizations, as well as to general women’s issues. Lauren performed songs and comedy about the groups, as well as women-friendly humor and songs from her latest CD, “Psycho Super Mom.” These shows are clean, accessible, and full of humor from a woman’s perspective.

“This Is Your Life” Roast/Toast"
(Author John Gray, Max’s Restaurant owner Dennis Berkowitz, others)
A one-of-a-kind way to pay tribute to someone special – ideal for birthday parties, anniversaries, etc. Lauren writes and performs a ‘roast/toast’ all about your guest of honor, based on a questionnaire and interviews.
