“MATT GOLDBERG IS A VERSATILE, DYNAMIC SPEAKER WHO USES HIS IRREVERENT SENSE OF HUMOR TO CONNECT AND INSPIRE.”
I look forward to creating, or being a part of, your special events and will endeavor to exceed your own high expectations.
HUMOROUSLY SPEAKING…and WHAT'S a HUMORIST, ANYWAY?
One warning: While others may tell a better knock-knock joke or rabbi/priest/minister tale, I’m not a joke teller, per se, but would define myself as a fairly serious person who has a hyperactive sense-of-humor. To that end, I would define a humorist as one who:
- has the ability to find the funny side of life and convey it thru humor, irony and irreverence. I try to walk the line of being satirical without being sarcastic.
- looks at all the craziness in the world, and tries to establish some kind of order. Perhaps, humor writers and speakers are just control freaks with a couple screws that need tightening.
As a writer, much of my humor is spontaneous, and as a speaker, I love to improvise and work in collaboration with an audience. To that end, I am also available as a guest emcee. I can accommodate, and feel at home in front of, both small to very large groups.
Equal parts stand-up comic and inspirational speaker, I love to inspire people to laugh and smile a lot…and think just a little bit in the process. Below are some of the many types of speeches I offer to organizations, companies, book clubs and more.
I can tailor any presentation from a 15-20 minute time frame up to an hour or so, and I am an expert facilitator of audince participation.
