The Chicago Tribune calls me "king of the hill in the world of corporate comedy" while HuffPost refers to me as "Your boss's favorite comedian." I research my audiences and provide CLEAN, customized humor for any corporate event. Some of my clients have included Microsoft, Cisco, Motorola, and even the CIA. I've had my own Drybar Comedy special, opened for stars ranging from Celine Dion to Keith Urban, and can be heard regularly on SIRIUS/XM Radio
We had Greg out to provide entertainment for our annual company Christmas party. Greg did a great job of keeping us laughing and for the most part provided clean humor. Greg was well prepared and punctual, showing that he is a true professional.
We would hire him again.
Thanks Greg!
Response from America's #1 Corporate Comedian:

Greg Schwem tells all his clients, “I’m here to make you laugh but, at the end of the day, I want to be your biggest cheerleader too!” That approach is why the Chicago Tribune recently proclaimed Greg “king of the hill in the growing world of corporate comedy while HuffPost calls Greg, “Your boss’ favorite comedian.” Indeed, Greg’s comedic take on the 21st-century workplace and work/life balance has landed him on SIRIUS Radio, Comedy Central, and the cover of Exceptional People Magazine. During the 2020 pandemic, Greg’s virtual keynote, You Can‘t Quarantine Laughter, was lauded by clients such as Cisco, Verizon, Merrill Lynch, and his alma mater, Northwestern University. One participant called it “fantastic and just what everybody needed during this time.” More than just a business humor keynote speaker and sought-after corporate emcee, Greg is also an author, nationally syndicated humor columnist for the Chicago Tribune, award-winning greeting card writer, and creator of funnydadinc, voted one of the top Dad humor sites on the web in 2020. His recent business travels have resulted in a hilarious web series, A Comedian Crashes Your Pad, currently streaming on Roku and AppleTV. He has shared the concert stage with the likes of Celine Dion, Jay Leno, and Keith Urban.
What sets Greg apart from other corporate entertainers is his ability—and willingness—to customize material for his audience while working within the parameters of the corporate environment. That means no profanity or politically incorrect material. “That’s never been a part of my show anyway,” Greg recently told a reporter.
When Greg presents, live or virtually, at whatever time of day, audiences will see and hear the following:
• A heavily researched and customized presentation featuring material created with the help of Greg’s client. Greg doesn’t “phone it in.”
• Customized multimedia support that includes video, audio and screen grabs from a client’s website.
• A motivational message that uses humor and real-world examples from actual companies that show the “do’s and don’ts’” of succeeding in business. Let Greg tell your audience about his experiences with the highly successful American Girl Doll company!
Greg’s preparation always includes a conference call with company executives and, in some cases, an onsite visit.
