David Glickman's 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 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 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 "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.

(to the tune of "Jailhouse Rock.")
"Secret Agent Man" became "Compensation Plan" for AT&T.
"(A) Norwegian Would" was a twist on the popular Beatles tune for Norwegian

"Dave's A Hack Writer" for roasting humor writer Dave Barry.
Gillette's new razor was parodied in "Mach 3 Time", based on "Knock 3 Times."
The National Speakers Association learned to "Mingle Well" (from "Jingle
Bells.)

This program lets your group know that it's ok to laugh at the elements of our
job that we might find frustrating. And any group that can laugh at itself is a
healthy group and on track for continued success. Let the laughter work its
magic with David Glickman's Customized Corporate Comedy.
