As a speaker, he has performed for hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies, and is frequently rated ‘best speaker’ at conferences. As a stand-up comedian, Harry is often opening for Ray Romano; has appeared on “Everybody Loves Raymond;” and was a staff writer for “Caroline’s Comedy Hour.” Harry has also written and directed a short film, “30 Minutes,” which received terrific acclaim at the NY Int’l Independent Film Festival.

Jeanne Robertson

Generally, a clean corporate comedian or funny keynote speaker will have a business model.  In general terms, this can be inspired by watching another professional funny speaker in performance, in demeanor or even his or her ability to market themselves.

I have a business model is the form of a very funny lady who tells funny stories.  Her name is Jeanne Robertson.  She carries herself beautifully, tells stories naturally and is hip enough to be on Sirius Satellite Radio!

Jeanne Robertson is a professional funny speaker specializing in humor based on life experiences.  She knows that a sense of humor is a strategy for success.  Speaking to large audiences regularly, Jeanne Robertson utilizes her positive and funny style to engage her fans.

Jeanne Robertson is easy to notice. At 6'2" she is very recognizable.  Jeanne adeptly turns life experiences into funny material that elicits laughter.  Jeanne's very special Southern drawl adds to her uniqueness and leave her audience thinking about her message!
