Peter Fogel  (The Humorator) Corporate Comedian

“He’s funny, bright, very animated and brings forth a unique stage experience using his natural visual and vocal gifts.”

So says Del Close – the late and legendary creative director of the famed Second City Improv Troupe, about humorist Peter J. Fogel. And Del should know something about“ funny” having trained John and Jim Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, and Bill Murray in the early years of their meteoric careers.

And Peter J. Fogel is certainly no stranger to comedy audiences across the country. At least no “stranger” than many household names such as Dennis Leary, Ray Romano, Jon Stewart—just a sample of the comedians Peter’s had the good graces to come up in the comedy ranks and share the stage with.

His witty material has entertained “laughaholics” for more than two decades as he serves up rapid fire jokes along with poignant observations like a seven course meal.

“ I actually looked up the word thesaurus in a thesaurus today… know what it said? ‘What are you bored?’”

With humor that showcases his special blend of characters, impressions, mime and sound effects, Peter is a regular featured performer in top comedy venues around the country such as Catch a Rising Star, The Improvisation, LA’s famed The Comedy Store, and Dangerfields.

Peter’s also been a veteran performer whose been featured on HBO’ Comedy Central.
Comic Strip Live, Comedy on The Road. He’s also entertained in Canada, Australia
and in such exotic locations as the Caribbean and parts of New Jersey.

As an in demand studio audience warm-up he’s gotten audiences guffawing big time
on such programs as Married With Children, Unhappily Ever After, Hope & Faith and
The Howie Mandel Show.

You’ve no doubt heard his voice on numerous commercials for Mazda, Budweisier, Miller Lite, American Express—as well as recognize his face as the Ring-Around-The-Collar Standup Comic for Wisk Detergent and as the Lounge Lizard for A&W Rootbeer.

Peter J. Fogel’s comedy style appeals to all generations because his humor is timeless. By examining the commonality, the absurd, the pain and foibles of the human condition—he makes us laugh at ourselves in a kindler and gentler way. And because of that… there’s no doubt that he’ll deliver the perfect customized comedy show for your organization.

Audience and critics agree, Peter J. Fogel is a like a comedy Chinese buffet. You just can’t help yourself: An hour later you’re hungry for more.

" Peter Fogel is a true comedy veteran. Why? (You may ask). Because he's funny, (I answer). As
the former Talent Coordinator for the Improv Comedy Clubs in both New York City and Los
Angeles, he made my job easy. I could always depend on him to do what he was hired to do -
make audiences laugh from start to finish. Along with the required "funny," Peter is also
very professional and easy to work with - which are the three most important qualities anyone
could look for when hiring a comedian. So what are you waiting for? (I ask). Hire him. (Your
answer). Audiences will laugh and it'll make your job easy.
