Lou Santini: Comedian/Emcee/TV Host/Voice-overs/Broadcaster

First three words that come to mind when hiring Lou Santini? "Polished". "Prepared". "Professional".

Lou is FUNNY! Quick witted. A crowd pleaser and GREAT with crowd work. Sticks to the "rules of the room" (clean? "anything goes"?)

VERY experienced as an Event Emcee ("straight announcing", with the ability to think on his feet and add levity, if needed). THOUSANDS of live events hosted (corporate, private, college, military). Universal material.

Well traveled. Well spoken. Approaching four decades of public speaking (radio broadcasting, live events, standup comedy, voice-overs, etc.)

Lou Santini is the right choice. He dots the "i"s and crosses the "t"s when it comes to his preparation and asking the client the right questions. Lou Santini is all about building relationships.

What to Expect:

*First three words that come to mind when hiring Lou Santini (besides "funny"?) "Polished". "Prepared". "Professional".

*Lou is FUNNY! Quick witted. A crowd pleaser and GREAT with crowd work. Sticks to the "rules of the room" ("corporate clean"? "family friendly?" "anything goes"?)

*DECADES OF EXPERIENCE as a Professional Event Emcee (with the ability to think on his feet and add levity, if needed) with THOUSANDS of events in his back pocket (corporate, private, college, military), ready with universal material.

*Well traveled. Well spoken. Approaching four decades of public speaking (radio broadcasting, live events, standup comedy, voice-overs, etc.)

*Lou Santini is the right choice. He dots the "i"s and crosses the "t"s when it comes to his preparation and asking the client the right questions.

Lou's material ranges from "squeaky clean"/corporate clean, all the way to "anything goes". He's played crowds of 12 on a Wednesday afternoon in a corporate setting to up to 20,000 at concerts and biker rallies. With his range of material and 38 years experience, he adapts to crowds as needed. He has hosted corporate events with "straight announcing" for conventions, summits, and conferences, as well as "off stage" announcing, and has performed for over two hours when the opening act failed to show! :-)

I'm easy! Good sound amplification, good lighting, and some kind of "separation" (stage/sectioned area) is all I need! Travel arrangements, lodging, per diem, meals, etc., can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
