Overview

Dr. Rapp captures audiences with his magnetic personality that is felt throughout the room from the moment he hits the stage. Dr. Rapp is no stranger to being in front of an audience, as he began performing as a child prodigy drummer who eventually continued to succeed as a drummer/performer for several #1 boy bands.

Dr. Rapp’s story is one of a hero’s journey; from being in teen machine magazine and the music business to a life-changing decision to return to college and become a Chiropractor. After 17 years of running a successful practice, Dr. Rapp was blindsided, only to lose it all in a near-death experience that left him fighting every day for his life with a chronic disease.

COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING !

I was looking for a comdian to come entertain my birthday dinner guest and I swear it took forever. Was turned down by many WAY OVER PRICE by few but this GUY RIGHT HERE gave me a chance! I swear he came and he conquered !! When I say I could not STOP LAUGHING! I honestly couldn’t just leave one review so my girls also are giving theirs.
Drea -TWO WORDS.. HILARIOUS AF! From beginning to end he had me laughing my ass off!

Princess- My cheeks never hurt so bad! Enjoyed getting to know the YOU not a lot of people get to see. Hands down best laugh I've had ALL YEAR! 🤣

Chris- Dr. Rapp was out of this world entertainment. Not only did he manage to make the whole room laugh but he also gave us the opportunity to laugh at ourselves and be 100% comfortable. Definitely would recommend his services for any kind of party you’ll definitely leave with your cheeks hurting 👏🏼

Carmen- I had to take time out and give a big shout out to Dr Rapp!! He came out to my homegirls birthday party and killed it!!! I can’t remember the time I laughed so hard that my cheeks hurt!! Don’t sleep on this one ☝🏼 🤩🤩🔜💯

About

Dr. Gerald Rappaport (aka Dr. Rapp) started life in the limelight as a prodigy drummer at age 5.
His attorney, movie producer, tv syndicator, and hotel developer father seemingly passed on his
“golden touch” to his son; as the young Dr. Rapp (Pee Wee) went on to drum with several #1 Boy Bands, produce new music in his teens, and sign a deal with Atlantic Records by the age of 19. His life turned completely around when on an instinctual feeling, and the fact that the music business was changing, moved to Georgia to pursue a BS in Nutritional Science and a Doctorate of Chiropractic. Dr. Rapp earned his sterling reputation as a highly effective Chiropractor despite the steep competition in Fort Lauderdale. Dr. Rapp treated his patients like family, unlike other offices where you felt like a number. You were sure to leave his office feeling better! In the later years of practice, a reality show pilot episode entitled “Dr. Cracked Up” was recorded about his life. A show about a wannabe standup comic by night and chiropractor by day. It hasn’t been all sunshine for Dr. Rapp, in the past few years, the sudden onset of strange symptoms escalated into a major life-threatening event that landed him on life support. He lost everything. He became homeless. He tried to live in a van to get by, but with multiple emergency hospitalizations and a pandemic in our presence, Dr. Rapp closed his practice. With faith, and hope, that Dr. Rapp works on getting healthy again, and finding the path to the next destination. He lives by the creed of his father’s words, and those of many, DO NOT QUIT! It would be his honor for the opportunity to share his story of earned wisdom, setbacks, and perseverance.
