David Glickman
Comedian - Entertainer - Speaker
Corporate Comedian David Glickman provides clean, clever, customized comedy entertainment
for your convention, meeting, sales rally or banquet. This comedian
will highlight your event with comedy material about YOUR people, YOUR
industry, YOUR products, YOUR services. Comedian and professional
speaker David Glickman will inspire and boost morale with great laughs
and song parodies.
No two programs are ever alike. Your group will be highly flattered and
impressed when they realize that you have had the program written “just
for them.” A program that will only be used for that one event and
never again.
This is not a comedian or humorist performing the same show they’ve done hundreds of times. This is The “Insert The Name of Your Group Here” Show, featuring laughs and songs all about you. The performance will entertain and boost morale. Most importantly, it will show your group that you really care about them. It will show them that you will go the extra step to give them something special.
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.
About David Glickman's Customized Corporate Comedy
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.
- The national Mail Advertising Service Association enjoyed “Mailhouse Shlock” (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 Cruise Line’s sales staff.
- Another Beatles tune, “Paperback Writer,” became “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.)
- Xerox enjoyed “The tech will come out….tomorrow” (To the tune of “Tomorrow”)
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.

About David Glickman
David Glickman has been a full-time professional comedian for twenty years. He has performed over 2,000 comedy shows. Before
becoming a comedian, he earned a communications degree from the
University of Florida. He worked for nearly a decade as a Manager of
Public Relations and Marketing. In 1985, he switched from the “world of
business” to “show business.” Two years later, he opened South
Florida’s first successful chain of comedy clubs. Initially named
“Coconuts,” they later were renamed “Uncle Funny’s.” The clubs
flourished. He also opened comedy clubs in several Atlantic City
casinos. David was featured in “Rolling Stone” magazine and
scores of other publications. He was the opening act for stars such as
Ellen DeGeneres, Ray Romano, Barbara Mandrell, Carol Channing, and many
more. Steve Martin personally selected him from over 100 comics for an
appearance on a CBS comedy program. David sold the comedy
clubs in 1992. He began focusing on shows for the corporate world. He
began to get more national attention. He was selected the winner of the
Entenmann’s National “Funniest Person In America” Contest from over 500
contestants. He was featured on “Evening At The Improv” and several
other national television shows. He performed for Gloria Estefan’s
birthday party. His ability to customize humorous material specifically
to the client increased the demand for his services. In 1995,
David moved from Miami to Tampa. His list of corporate clients
continues to grow as fast as the positive word-of-mouth and industry
“buzz” that follows each of his performances. He is an active member of
the National Speakers Association and is Past President of the National
Speakers Association—Central Florida. The Clients Speak About David Glickman
“Incredibly
motivating and a great team-building experience. Haven’t seen anything
like it in my 20 plus years of sales and sales management.” Lenny Chesal “I’m
glad that we decided to go the ‘Custom Comedy’ route….It really showed
my employees that we do care about them and won’t settle for the
ordinary.” Mark A. Mershon “You created an outstandingly entertaining and hilarious performance, tailored specifically to my audience!” Brandi Huff Bilyeu “Your
immediate grasp of the nuances of our business and your incredible
ability to focus in on the personal hot spots of my staff left my
audience in absolute hysterics. We all loved it and we all loved you.” Steve Simon “As
you know, it was a very important and stressful meeting for us, and you
provided just the right touch of levity we needed to take the edge off
of things.” Nancy Berkowitz “We needed something to get the sales force really motivated and your show was the perfect way to do it.” Fran Sevcik “It was the perfect way to end a long day of meetings: lighthearted and funny, but in good taste.” Janis Altshuler “Using a scale where 5.0 is the highest, you were the highest rated speaker/entertainer with a 4.7.” Cheryl Martin “David, you really did your homework on the real estate industry…Your presentation was the best part of our conference.” Donna Sullenberger “The
creative, customized program, your ability to improvise on the
spot…were exceptional. You exceeded expectations on all levels.” Jacqueline L. Charnley “I’ve
had nothing but wonderful response from the President of the company
down to the Account Executives. Everyone in attendance was “knocked
out” by your performance…” Tony DeBoor “Your
entertainment and ‘unique’ presentation of our annual Mark of
Excellence Awards was the high point of our annual meeting. How can we
top that next year?” Wade Edwards “THEY
LOVED DAVID GLICKMAN!!!…..David was very in tune with the group and
even his study of the group from the small amount of literature I sent
him were right on the money.” Robin Cotchan “He
was just great….terrific….wonderful….I have no idea how we can top this
at next year’s meeting. David was far more effective than any other
speaker we’ve ever had.” Alan Vargas “Your customized program covered all the key points we wanted covered and kept everyone’s interest…” Tony Carvajal, CAE “I
have hired a number of speakers who promised to tailor their
presentations yet mostly missed the mark even after interviewing our
people. You were on the mark, with a great performance.” Jim Lawrence “David’s presentations reflect the customized approach to comedy that separates him from other entertainers.” Keith Hergesheimer “Your
ability to work around our schedule and still provide an excellent
product with very little time to prepare is a wonderful talent.” Rachel R. White “The
amount of time and attention David invested in learning about our
people was incredible….The problem I now face is just whom I will book
next year that could top his program. I have a very serious problem.” Joseph N. Loomis ”....your
follow through on the ideas we shared turned out exactly to our
expectations…..The audience loved it, which was our main goal for the
evening.” Vince Licata
