December was a significant month. Of course there’s Christmas, but our family had two highly emotional events prior to that. My mother passed the first part of the month, and four days after her funeral my daughter got married. That’s the “full monty” of emotions.
One of the most overworked topics in comedy is the differences between men and women. Entire routines are based on it and comedic books have even been written on the subject. I’ve already covered some of the communication contrasts in a previous blog, but let’s look at some of the other things.
Funny motivational speaker has a great idea for New Year Resolutions. It’s mid-January and most of my resolutions have already gone bye-bye. Turns out my resolutions are more like fantasies. But my FunnierU.com buddy George Campbell gave me a great idea: Resolutions are way more fun when you make them for other people. Now that’s…
Funny motivational speaker meets a vegan. Sarcasm ensues. We are a nation of different opinions and that is healthy. There’s an old saying that goes, “if two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary”. I respect an opposing view, I just want my opponent to respect mine. Such was not the case with…
Funny motivational speaker thinks politics can be funny. Particularly a Presidential race with a bunch of candidates posing as comedians.

A funny motivational speaker is supposed to answer funny, right? But with over forty years and thousands of audiences, I always thought it impossible to single out one event.…
I’m a funny motivational speaker so I look for observational humor. It often ends up in my programs. Research studies from think tanks, universities, and the government will almost always provide some fodder when you’re in the business of being a funny motivational speaker. None of these were intended to be humorous, but they…
When you’re a funny motivational speaker and emcee, you often get thrown into situations you never thought you’d experience. Not too long ago I worked one of the coolest gigs I’ve ever had. I presented a couple of programs for a food service wholesaler and also served as the emcee for cooking demonstrations during the…
A funny motivational speaker is supposed to make a joke about everything, right? Not in this case. This will be a vast departure from any previous writing. I have always attempted to make my newsletters uplifting. When you make a living as a funny motivational speaker, people expect that. Humor does that. But that’s not…
