New York-Based Musical Comedy Troupe, Award Winning Satirists
The Water Coolers Biography
Once called a cross between "The Office" and the funniest YouTube parody video you ever saw, The Water Coolers is a singing comedy act that uses top NY talent to answer the question “does this stuff happen to anyone else?”
Conceived and created by Tom and Sally Allen to combine their skills, The Water Coolers made their New York club debut in 2000 and followed that two years later with a smash engagement Off-Broadway. The Water Coolers received two Spotlight Awards for Entertainment of the Year, making them one of only 3 acts to be awarded this honor twice. In addition to a packed special events schedule, they have toured their constantly updated act at performing arts centers around the U.S. and spots as far-reaching as Singapore and Australia.
We make people laugh about work and luckily, the ever-evolving world of work is a steady source of comedy. Their performances also serve as master of ceremonies, using their unique blend of music and comedy to enhance various events, making them ideal for openings or closings that aim to energize audiences.
The Performing Cast is made up of NYC pros with resumes including top comedy clubs like Igby's, the Improv, the Comic Strip, and the Icehouse as well as Broadway's hippest and hottest shows, including Gloria Estefan's "On Your Feet," "Dear Evan Hansen," “Wicked,” “Rock of Ages,” "Jersey Boys," Carole King's "Beautiful,” “Chicago,” “Hair,” “Pippin,” “In The Heights,” and "The Boy from Oz," with Hugh Jackman. The cast now also includes professionals who have appeared in “Tina, the Tina Turner Musical.”
The Water Coolers' Writing Team, led by Tom Allen, mixes professional comedy writers with people working in the "real world" to deliver an authentic and funny take on work. Current contributors include a professional sales rep in Tampa, an investment banker from Dallas, and a cadre of professional writers in NYC. Their material includes parodies and sketches that cover common workplace topics and experiences, making their content relatable and memorable. This collaborative process ensures the content remains fresh and relevant, focusing on making people laugh about work-related topics.

If a Tree Falls in the Woods
If an audience is checking their cell phones, they're not getting the content no matter how useful it is. The trick is to deliver valuable content in a way that keeps an audience leaning in -- that's why this keynote has such great impact. Or as sales guru Jeffrey Gitomer says, "The end of laughter is followed by the height of listening."
-
Practical Content that Rings True
Audiences are looking for information that will help them perform better and do more. That's what our session was written to deliver. It's accessible, makes sense, and because it's delivered with music, it sticks in their minds helping them to really make of use the content when they get back to "real life."
