Overview

I've been a professional nerdy comedian for over 20 years, and have worked the gamut: comedy clubs, cruise lines, colleges, corporate events, festivals and even on TV.

I have been described as a "clever comic" (Wanda Sykes) with "great writing" (Lewis Black) and "labyrinthian switcheroos" (Maria Bamford). I won Comedy Central's national stand-up comedy award about a billion years ago, and was once our nation's 67th funniest comic, according to an industry poll.

If you want a rootin' tootin' party comic, I'm probably not your guy. But if you are looking for a professional act that's smart, clever, and cerebral--and appropriate for both clubs and corporate settings--take a look.

Perfect Fit!

We had Robert Mac join us for our company Wellness Day, and he was awesome! We are a commercial construction company and I had concerns that it would be hard for him to deliver a set that worked for all our employees. He did a great job connecting with both our office team and the folks out in the field. I sent him a few inside details about our company ahead of time, and he worked them into his set perfectly—everyone felt included and got a good laugh out of it. The show was funny, relatable, and spot-on for our group. We’ve heard nothing but great things from our employees since. Highly recommend!

Excellent performance!!

Robert’s performance at my daughter’s birthday party of three was nothing but professional and spectacular! We enjoyed every moment of his delivery. And my daughter enjoyed her day exponentially. Thank you Robert, keep up the good work! Highly recommended indeed.

Very Funny & Super Nice!

He did a gig for our company holiday party. It was fun & involved some of the crowd. After, he let us use his AV equipment for our own speeches and gifts. Not only that, but it was almost a second act from him because he stood up and commented on the things said and gift game that we were doing. He had everyone laughing so much during that part and none of that was planned. Thanks again - Highly recommend!

Thanks, Brooke! I've done a lot of company parties, but playing with your staff during the gift exchange was one of the most fun times I've had at one of these. Thanks for having me and for the great review!

What to expect

My act is smart without being condescending and funny without being raunchy.

My performances range between 15 and 90 minutes, and audiences can always expect a clean, smart, professional performance.

My material runs the gamut, from the mundane to the esoteric, with flashes of my personal life popping up unexpectedly in the background. During a show, I may refer to Godzilla being on my fantasy football team, how Bryce Canyon was formed, and when my mom Pat came down to the basement (even though she's not allowed to without permission). Throw in some classic-rock song lyrics and some words I made up along the way, and you get an idea of the eclectic mix of topics I discuss. (By the way, I can customize material, too.)

And to the audiences who leave my shows with tears of laughter in their eyes:

Stupid crybabies! I'll give you something to cry about: you're not getting your money back! ; )

About

I perform smart, clean comedy for all sorts of events and venues: holiday parties, weddings, birthdays, graduations, association meetings, company appreciation parties, and even your typical comedy show. I generally play a "thinking man's non-thinking man"--a know-it-all who really doesn't know anything at all. While much comedy is aggressively attacking, mine is self-deprecating, allowing audiences to laugh without having to see if the boss is laughing, too. My act has won local and national awards and has landed me on Comedy Central, The Learning Channel, and Last Comic Standing, to name a few.

I can customize material to make events more special, create a game show (with gag prizes), or just do my club act. I am also a Master of Ceremonies that can keep an evening rolling while keeping it humorous as well.

I'm also a motivation humorist who can inject lots of laughs into motivational talks, or even pretend to be an expert in a given topic . . . until it's revealed that I'm just a bumbling fool. (This works great at the end of a conference when attendees have burnt out on boring speeches.)

If you have a smart, attentive audience (and a good audio system), they'll have a good time.

Additional booking notes

It's the little things that make the show work: a stage, a mic and mic stand, a good audio system, and proper lighting. Those aren't always considered or available, but that--and an attentive audience--is all I need.

Set list

My set list is determined by the client and the event.

Influences and inspiration

I'm very impressed with Louis CK, Maria Bamford and Patton Oswald. I'd say my first influences were the surreal Steven Wright and the silly Steve Martin, and the self-deprecation of David Letterman.
