CORPORATE
BOOKERS / EVENT PLANNERS
HERE'S TO YOU!
As someone who was once in the corporate world and who has since
performed at numerous corporate events, I'm very aware of how
important it is that the show goes well.
I take pride in knocking these shows "out of the park" without
having any questionable or "blue" material. This allows
you and your group to sit back and just have fun.
Of course being a corporate person, you want details. "What's
going to happen?" "What are the topics?" "How
will he make my people laugh?" I'm going to give you some
insider information concerning my show. Perhaps it will help
you picture the unfolding fun:
First, I come out thanking everyone for having me. I get several
rounds of applause for your corporate leaders which loosens the
place up a bit and gets people laughing because I clap like a
spastic. Your audience knows the party has started.
Next, I mention some positive things about your company. "The
market is coming back!" "12 years and still dominating!" "John
refuses to retire, he loves everybody!" This sets a positive,
fun tone and gets things off the ground.
Then we go into the reasons I went from your world into comedy.
We talk about absurd job interviews, being in the Marine Corps,
working out, playing golf, college, why you should all go into
show biz, I introduce a fake guest, we talk about wonderful married
people, disturbed single people, various things such as cars,
pets and grandmothers.
There's singing, sound effects, audience participation, I audition
some new jokes, we do some corporate jokes, some take home joke
jokes, the whole thing is full of physical jokes.
I always look to include your audience with every topic. For
example, it's likely you have some committed golfers in the company.
I'll find and include your golfers in my "being horribly
horrendous at golf" bit.
Any suggestion from you beforehand is very welcome as the more
customized the show is, the more fun we will have. After the show
I enjoy chatting with your employees and again thanking them for being
such a fun crowd.
UTRAGEOUS
RIDICULOUS & ORIGINAL
Here's a guy that brings something to
the party - Headlice!
Greg Hahn has parlayed his absurdly energetic, all out style
of physical humor, one liners and crowd work, into an act with
no waiting for the funny, just immediate pandemonium and panic.
His massive likeability and wild stylings have led to numerous
television, corporate and college appearances throughout the
country.
Developmentally arrested, Greg was raised in South Florida where
in high school he amused the Catholic nuns by poking holes in
his pockets enabling pens and pencils to shoot out of his pant
leg.
As a college basketball player his tendency for half court
shots got him benched.
As
a Captain in the Marines Corps, Greg kept his men highly
motivated and could not overemphasize that camouflage is
continuous.
While a buyer for Lockheed Corporation, he thought “Why
make $200 a day, when I can be a comedian and make that in
a week!”
After several serious jobs where he refused to be serious,
Greg turned pro as a stand up comedian.
The career began with several months of brutal open mics and
talent shows. He then landed the absurd gig as emcee for a
lumberjack show at Six Flags Great America. This career choice
supplied him with a microphone and four huge audiences a day, "I
had to do jokes while a bunch of drunks ran around swinging
axes. We had a log rolling dog that couldn’t even swim,
she would fly off the log and sink. We named her Splash.”
Soon afterwards, he worked as an actor in the Wild Wild Wild
West Stunt Show at Universal Studios. "For $20 an hour,
I'd run out, fall down a few times and get hit in the head
with a stick".
At night he continually honed his stand up skills and after several
years of club work moved his career to New York City. While in New
York, Greg developed into a touring headliner and co-starred in the
independent film Tomorrow Night which premiered at the Sundance Film
Festival. Then, after successful shows at the Montreal and Chicago
Comedy Festivals, Greg enjoyed hit television appearances on Late Night
with Conan O'Brien, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, Make Me Laugh (5
episodes) and Louis CK's Pulp Comics. He recently had
wild appearances on 30 Seconds to Fame and Cedric the Entertainer
Presents with
the Fox network and the CBS hit show Star Search.
Continuing to advance his career in film and television, Greg has since relocated
to Los Angeles where in between shows and acting classes he knocks out pull-ups,
and goes ballistic on his drum set.
Here's
What Event Coordinators are saying about Greg's performances!
"
