Comedian/Speaker Greg Romeo

Greg's greatest strength is his ability to customize his show for each audience. He works closely with you to gather information about your group and then effortlessly turns the material into a one-of-a-kind interactive performance.

"The entire room was roaring with laughter!"
- Freda Love, Conestoga Wood

A memorable performance needs a memorable beginning, and that’s exactly what happens when you hire comedian and entertainer Greg Romeo for your next corporate event or private party.

Imagine if your audience were under the impression that they were going to be sitting through an hour-long presentation from motivational speaker Dr. Gary Romano (Greg's alter-ego) 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 audience members.

Now imagine the relief everyone will feel as they slowly realize this isn't a motivational speaker after all, but instead a comedian hired to have a little fun with your group. After all is revealed, Greg is re-introduced and offers your audience a one-of-a-kind performance that is clean, creative, and highly 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 an association meeting, convention or conference!

Greg's greatest strength is his ability to customize his show for each audience. He works closely with you to gather information about your company or organization as well as key individuals within your group. He then effortlessly turns the material into a hilarious, interactive performance! You may see a audience members 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.

Clients that have enjoyed the side-splitting, split personality of imposter motivational speaker Dr. Gary Romano/Greg include Tyson Foods, GlaxoSmithKlein, Blue Ridge Association of Realtors, Chesterfield County Bar Association, Allegacy Federal Credit Union, AT&T, Krispy Kreme, National Board for Certified Counselors, St. Francis Hospital, Vantage Foods, NC State Auditor's Association, and Executive Women’s International.  His ability to keep the humor clean has made him a popular corporate human resources comedian.

Delighting audiences across America since 1991, Greg continues to build on his reputation as a low-maintenance, clever, and very funny professional entertainer.
