Great Team Building Activity for our corporate function

We hired Brian for a leadership/networking meeting of about 30 people in Chandler. Brian was on time, polite, engaging, funny and got the crowd on their feet and interacting while havinga great time. I would highly recommend Brian for a team-building activity at a corporate event.

Very funny!!

Brian was very flexible, honest, fun and imaginative. Our group was a bunch of grandparents raising grandchildren and they were on a retreat away from the kids. They enjoyed this time with the comedians and there were smiles all around. I don't think there was a single moment where they were not laughing. We enjoyed the fact that it was inventive and included a lot of audience participation. They were right on target with the topics they talked about with the audience.
We would definitely recommend him!.

About

Born and raised in Glendale, Arizona, one would think that Brian would have a dry sense of humor…but seriously folks, it’s Arizona, he’s just trying not to be deported. Using physicality, impression, music and improvisation, Brian is one of the hottest comedians on the rise in the Southwest.

Having spent 20 years as an award-winning director, Brian stepped away from the camera to begin his career in comedy. He quickly found success in radio as the host of his own show, The BS Factor with Brian and Stephanie on the All Comedy Radio network. Brian gained national recognition when many of his sketches were featured on National Lampoon Radio on XM/Sirius.

For several years now, Brian has trained and performed with various improv troupes, including The Improvonauts that he co-found with comedian Mike James. As Brian’s comedy career gained momentum, stand up comedy seemed inevitable.

Brian's impressions, knowledge of pop culture and unique delivery style have made him an audience favorite. It doesn't matter what he's talking about, Brian puts a smile on everybody's face!

Brian is married with two children...and a dog named Turbo.

Additional booking notes

As a general rule there should be some type of PA with somebody able to adjust the volume accordingly for the room. Often times the venue will have this already or the client has hired a DJ that can provide the mic. Also a stool or chair should also be available, along with water.

Set list

Set list will consist of Brian's material in addition to material written especially for the event. This may include audience Improv participation or a parody song for event. Since each event is different, the set list would be customized for each client based on the customers needs and budget.
