In good economic times and bad, corporate America consistently turns to Greg Schwem for laughs.

Called "king of the hill in the world of corporate comedy" by the Chicago Tribune, Greg's presentation "Comedy With a Byte" has entertained audiences from coast to coast. Clients such as Microsoft, Cisco, General Motors, IBM and McDonald's have invited Greg to share his hilarious views on technology and today's business environment. Greg delivers with observations on topics such as Blackberry abuse, social network overload, never-ending conference calls, "frequently" asked questions, text messaging addiction and home office workers.

Unlike many humorous speakers, Greg researches every audience and customizes material so no two shows are alike. Combining clean, inoffensive comedy with lightning fast ad-lib skills and Powerpoint slides, Greg takes his audiences on hilarious tours through their work environments. His preparation includes company website research, conference calls and maybe even a personal visit! As Greg recently told one reporter: "My clients hire me for approximately one hour. If I can't take the time to find out as much as possible about them, I shouldn't be in this business."

Besides corporate stand-up comedy, Greg is available as an emcee or virtual host and can also deliver a motivational speech entitled "Eight Simple Rules for Survival," which offers a hilarious look at succeeding in a down market. A former NBC television reporter, Greg has numerous national television appearances to his credit and has shared the concert stage with the likes of Celine Dion and Jay Leno. He can be heard regularly on XM/Sirius Radio and will soon release his first book, It Probably Needs an Adaptor...Observations, Complications and Life Lessons from a High-Tech Comedian.

  • Comedy with a Byte - Chicago Magazine calls professional speaker Greg Schwem "the corporate world's favorite funnyman." Whether it's stand-up comedy, humorous motivational speaking, or custom video production, Schwem delivers with hilarious observations about your company and your industry. Full of clean, customized humor, this presentation takes a light-hearted look at the way business is conducted today and the latest technologies we cannot do without. Corporate audiences are amazed when they realize Schwem has perused the company web site, message boards, and occasionally, private intranet. Then they howl as he delivers his own take on the content.

  • Eight Simple Rules for Survival - Watch the Video! Need someone to fire up your workforce when times are tough? Greg Schwem motivates through humor. His hysterical program "Eight Simple Rules of Survival" encourages employees to look inside their organizations - and themselves - and see how to improve efficiency. Along the way Greg tackles the pros and cons of social networking sites, why using photos to tout your product can backfire, how a South Dakota hotel caters to its filthy gun-toting guests and why Costco is much better at customer service than Sam's Club. (Hint: It has something to do with death).

    Full of hilarious examples from actual company websites, this multi-media presentation will have employees laughing even in the most challenging economic times. And Greg won't make anyone hold hands, recite slogans or fall backwards into each other's arms.
