"This is Your Company" - Custom Comedy Show

Greg's greatest strength is his ability to customize his show for each audience. He works closely with the presenter to gather information and then effortlessly turns the material into a hilarious, interactive performance!

You may see a coworker onstage doing an Elvis impersonation, a laugh-filled newscast about your company, or a game show filled with non-stop jokes about your organization. Greg's routines are always in good taste, and never meant to embarrass.

This is much more than a stand-up comedy routine – it’s a one-of-a-kind collection of sketches about life at your company!

"Dr. Gary Romano" - Fake Motivational Speaker

Everyone hires a motivational speaker. What about a not-so-motivational speaker for your next event? Imagine if your employees/members were under the impression that they were going to be sitting through an hour-long presentation from motivational speaker Dr. Gary Romano (Corporate Comedian Greg) as he discusses the "secret" to effective workplace communication, the “secret” to a successful retirement, or the “secret” behind the positive power of negative thinking. You won't believe the "secret," and neither will your employees.

Now imagine the relief everyone will feel as they slowly realize this isn't a motivational speaker after all, but instead a corporate comedian hired to have a little fun with your group. After all is revealed, Greg is re-introduced and offers your audience a memorable performance that is clean, clever, creative, customized, and interactive.

And if a "guest speaker from your industry" is a better fit for your program, Greg can handle that, too. He's posed as a Sales Manager, Vice President of Communications, and State Auditor. What an unforgettable way to begin or finish a meeting or conference!

Clients that have enjoyed the side-splitting split personality of Dr. Gary Romano/Greg include GlaxoSmithKlein, Graphic Printing Services, NC State Auditor's Association, BrassCraft, NewBold, The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, and Visual One Systems.
