Introduction

Robert "Bobby" Goldsmith is affectionately known as "THE ENTER-TRAINER!" Raised on the rough streets of Brooklyn, NY, Bobby overcame the challenges of "alcohol & drug abuse" to reach extraordinary levels of success! Okay, not "that" kind of alcohol & drug abuse! We're referring to the rubbing alcohol he used to fake a fever to get a day off school and aspirin from growing up with 3 sisters... (Oy Vey). Bobby brings a unique brand of humor to audiences as a comedian and an entertaining corporate speaker, speaking on subjects such as teamwork, communication, resiliency, overcoming obstacles, personal growth, personal finance and especially "How to Beat the IRS!" As a comedian, he discusses surviving marriage, kids, dating, millennials, money, and the occasional current event. He has graced the stages of some of the most iconic comedy venues such as the world-famous IMPROV, The Funny Bone, The House of Comedy, Snappers, SideSplitters, The Helium Clubs in New York & St. Louis, just to name a few. Bobby also spearheads the clean(er) comedy & variety showcases known as "Big Box Comedy," featuring stand-up, comedy-magic, ventriloquism, as well as some very unique musical comedy. Fees start at approximately $500 for small private gatherings or up to $3,000 for larger corporate events All of this is predicated on location, time of performance, the event size & number of attendees, the venue, and/or any specific circumstances that may apply to your event. (Fees are always negotiable predicated on specifics, so be sure to reach out and discuss your event personally).

While its rather unconventional to have a comedian entertain us in the comfort of our own home, Bobby was willing to do so and completely exceeded our expectations. My friends and family were definitely taken by surprise of how Bobby was able articulate all of his jokes. Prepare to laugh because he's really good.

We had Bobby come out to perform for our Father's Day Celebration. It was a Dinner & Entertainment event held at our 55+ community for the residents. We were concerned as our residents can be challenging and hard to impress at times. After dinner we introduced Bobby and welcomed him to the stage. Bobby was a great entertainer, he engaged very well with the residents and not only was he funny, but he also kept it clean. Bobby was great to work with from the first point of contact until the day of his performance. He was on time, professional and great at what he does. Bobby made us laugh and we had a great time! We recommend Bobby and look forward in having him again!

Thank you Jeannette for your Kind Words! So much appreciated as we work hard to create and perform material that suits specific audiences and I have to admit it, but your group was so much fun. I look forward to visiting and performing at your community again. So Much Appreciated!

Bobby Goldsmith was excellent! It was just what we needed for our Young Couple event. He listened to what we were looking for and hit the bullseye. I would highly recommend Bobby if you needed entertainment for a fun evening!

Great evening, our residents ( Retired Community) Enjoyed the comedy hour very much and would like to have Bobby back

Speaker - Comedian - Robert "Bobby" Goldsmith's reply

Hello Ema, I must admit that it is always a bit more difficult to create material that is appropriate and suitable for our seniors who deserve so much more, and your group was AWESOME. Deanna and I so much enjoyed our time and getting the opportunity to meet your residents and spend personal time with them and during our Q&A ! Thank you for your kind words.

Absolutely Amazing! Robert's performance kept everyone in stitches as he managed to include inspiration within his entertaining performance. What became clear throughout was that he was prepared to the extent where he knew the names of all the key individuals and was able to engage them with personal insight as well, it was obvious he did his homework. A polished performance by a talented professional. I would encourage anyone looking for humor/comedy entertainment, and don't leave out inspiration for your next event (corporate or private), to reach out to Robert and you won't be disappointed. We plan to work with him again.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Fees are always commensurate with the type of performance required, the size of the audience, the location and time allotted (required) for each performance. While my fees may not be the lowest, I strive to provide the best value based on the quality you expect at your event.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we find out your real needs, the message you want to convey and then review the expectations. I then go to work to create a plan to deliver the most outstanding performance... one that will leave the audience wanting more. We always spend some time on the phone with a discovery session to review all of the components to make certain we are a perfect fit.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked both as a motivational speaker in addition to an "educational" advisor around the Nation. However, what separates me is more than just the quality of information, but the audience engagement that keeps audiences involved with both Laughter and the Information. As a 30 yr financial professional, a Certified life coach, and a working standup comedian, you will get the best of all worlds to meet your goals.
