Brad Tassell

It is a simple concept, from keynote, to motivational, to workshop, to simply a night of hilarious comedy. Brad Tassell creates it for you. He is also the perfect host or emcee for an evening. He can come in ready to speak or work with you on creating the evening or show. Let's talk about what you need and maybe what you don't know is possible. Brad excels at being able to be dropped in at any function or group or conference, even at the last minute, and doing 45 minutes that feels tailored to the group. His insights and humor will resonate well. And there is never a worry it will be inappropriate. There literally is no way you can lose. Brad also often uses music and plays the ukulele. It's super fun! He can of course do an amazing show without it.

"It's true Brad Tassell. We all talked about how your show wasn't just funny & entertaining. But it had a good, positive message! Thanks for the awesome experience!" Susan Land Shelton

I can work with whatever you have, but would prefer a microphone and microphone stand, if we are doing music I need a second microphone on a second stand. Plus, a way to play a CD or have a 1/8 inch plug to attach Iphone for music.
