Biography of David Glickman

David Glickman works with organizations that want to add some comic relief to their events in order to make them REALLY fun and memorable.  He specializes in clean, clever, customized entertainment for your convention, meeting, sales rally or banquet. His program is about YOUR people, YOUR industry, YOUR products, YOUR services.

No two programs are ever alike. Your group will be highly flattered and impressed when they realize that you have had the program written “just for them.” A program that will only be used for that one event and never again. 

This is not a humorist or speaker performing the same program they’ve done hundreds of times. This is The “Insert The Name of Your Group Here” Show, featuring laughs and songs all about you. The performance will entertain and boost morale. Most importantly, it will show your group that you really care about them. It will show them that you will go the extra step to give them something special.

David has been a full-time professional comedian and speaker for twenty years. He has presented over 2,000 comedy shows and speeches. Before becoming a comedian, he earned a communications degree from the University of Florida. He worked for nearly a decade as a Manager of Public Relations and Marketing. In 1985, he switched from the "world of business" to "show business." Two years later, he opened South Florida's first successful chain of comedy clubs. Initially named "Coconuts," they later were renamed "Uncle Funny's." The clubs flourished. He also opened comedy clubs in several Atlantic City casinos.

David has been featured in "Rolling Stone" magazine and scores of other publications. He has been the opening act for stars such as The Beach Boys, Ellen DeGeneres, Ray Romano, Barbara Mandrell, and many more. Steve Martin personally selected him from over 100 comics for an appearance on a CBS comedy program.

David sold his comedy clubs in 1992 and began focusing on shows for the corporate world. He was selected the winner of the Entenmann's National "Funniest Person In America" Contest from over 500 contestants. He was featured on "Evening At The Improv" and several other national television shows. He performed for Gloria Estefan's birthday party. His ability to customize humorous material specifically to the client increased the demand for his services.

Now based in Tampa, David's list of corporate clients continues to grow as fast as the positive word-of-mouth and industry "buzz" that follows each of his performances. He is an active member of the National Speakers Association and the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor.
