Introduction
As a Corporate Put-on Comedian and emcee, I have performed for hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies, and am frequently rated ‘best speaker’ at their conferences. As a stand-up comedian, I am a regular opening act for Ray Romano; and as an actor, I've appeared on shows like “Everybody Loves Raymond” (CBS) and “Men Of a Certain Age.” (TNT) WHAT IS A CORPORATE PUT-ON? I am introduced as an industry expert or newly hired executive. I start off for real, but after a few minutes of my "out of the box" quips, everyone realizes they’ve been had - and they love it! THE FAKE TOASTER/ROASTER I have performed customized toasts/roasts for some of the biggest CEO’s in the country, as well as birthdays, retirements, and anniversaries, and I'll do the same for you. There is a moment in almost every function where someone gets up to give a toast. Imagine at that moment if you had me introduced as an old friend or colleague of the guest of honor to give them their own personal toast? STANDUP COMEDY I perform at theaters, business functions, holiday parties, country clubs, civic groups, religious organizations, private functions, comedy clubs and more. I also produce full-length comedy shows for any group that wants to have a great night of fun! I handpick from the top comics in the tri-state area to get the very best fit for each audience. THE ULTIMATE TRIBUTE VIDEO: "This is Your Life - But Funny!" It’s a movie. About you. Your life. Or perhaps your company or organization. And it’s got all the details right, but it’s funny. Gut-level funny. So one moment, your friends, family, or co-workers are paying homage, and everyone is touched by emotion, and the next, they’re laughing hysterically. There’s a warm glow in the room. When I do a Corporate Comedy Put-on or entertain as a Fake Toaster for private events, I love preparing specific material for each event and get everyone laughing even as they are unsure if I'm for real. It gives me great satisfaction to be able to surprise people with comedy when they were expecting something else and to surprise them even more with my high level of customization. Of course, I love doing straight standup comedy as well, and the thrill of making an audience laugh and putting everyone into a great mood.

Thank you Harry for making me look like a genius for contacting you for our annual holiday party. Harry coordinated an entire show and performed with comedians Chris Roach and Davin Rosenbatt, as MC. This was the most amazing night of laughter and fun many of us have ever had at any event. You exceeded all expectations. All I can say is Talent! Talent! Talent!
