Punchup Proof Positive
Our Fans are Raving about Funnier Speeches
“If you think being in the ‘Shark Tank’ would be tough, try getting laughs from a business audience with really high expectations. I give almost 100 speeches a year–and thanks to David Glickman, I’m getting great laughs at each one! He has become my ‘go to’ guy for humor!!”
“When I was asked to emcee a virtual event on Zoom with amazing speakers and 500+ attendees, I knew I needed to deliver a world-class performance. I reached out to David on fairly short notice, and he turned around my script with humor that delighted. He’s a master at making the simplest ideas funny. The positive participant feedback was humbling.”
“David Glickman took my already standing-ovation-receiving speech to a completely new level by punching up lines that weren’t landing as I needed them to, finding funny in the places that I couldn’t see, and brought my presentation to a much funnier place that is helping me land more events. Not only did the audience enjoy it, but I LOVE delivering his lines, and grateful David is my secret weapon when I need better lines!”
“I bet I had a laugh every minute. They were into it! The places where you predicted they’d laugh, THEY LAUGHED! OMG! I’ve never even imagined humor success like that. I didn’t know a civilian could do it! I think one of the most positive things I’ve done for my career is getting a David Glickman punchup.”
“There’s one simple reason I’ve worked with David Glickman for years. He delivers. Time and time again. Whenever I need humor added to one of my speeches or videos, I can always count on David to craft something that is both funny and is written in my voice.”
“David Glickman’s ability to bring more laughs to my content has made a tremendous impact on my connection with my audiences. He is my humor wingman!”
“I believe the TV networks keep inviting me back because I’m funny. What they don’t know (but I’m painfully aware of) is that I’m funny because of David Glickman.
David is the comedic wind beneath my wings, consistently arming me with quips and one-liners that are timely, relevant, and oh so funny. David also encourages me to push my comfort zone with sight gags and physical humor that bring so much unexpected depth to my on-air personality.”
“The best investment in my speaking career was to hire David Glickman. No matter what David writes for me, he creatively finds unique ways to make it funny, every single time. Thanks to David, my keynote presentations have been elevated to a whole new level and so has my business!”
“Thank you, David….you not only provided MORE than you promised in your “punchup” review of my new keynote, you also got me to start thinking funnier. You offer excellent value and I appreciate your help.”
“David brought ‘good things’ to my introduction….I have used it for the past 2 years with over 200 audiences…they always laugh at exactly the same spot, they always smile at that ‘other’ spot, and they always warmly receive such a clever guy like me…clever because I know (and hire) David!!”
“Working with David was one of the best decisions I made in my speaking career. What he gave me, on short notice, was a gem…and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again. I feel like I just drafted the #1 Humor Architect in this year’s Speaker Draft! When I win the “Speaker Bowl” you know where I’m going!”
“David, Thanks for the hilarious ideas and input you gave me for my book and keynote speech. You helped me come up with things I would have never thought of on my own. My publisher loves ‘em, my audiences love ‘em, and I love ‘em! Most people have two funny bones—- you have 206! (That’s every bone in your body)”
“I am funny – but Glickman is hilarious. It takes a humorist to know the really talented people in the business – at not only writing great humor but being able to teach others how to deliver it with the timing of a Jerry Seinfeld. When I need a line – he delivers pure laughs.
A picture is worth a 1,000 words but a great laugh is priceless – or available at a nominal fee from great teachers of humor. Glickman is the best in the business for helping others see funny, be funny and deliver the laughs.”
“If you’re on the fence whether or not to hire David Glickman to punch up your speech, presentation, keynote address, whatever — get off the fence, you look silly up there! David is worth his weight in gold.
I had a darned good speech, and David turned it into an incredible speech. I even won a speech contest because the humor I included in an otherwise serious topic pushed it past my competition and gave me the win. Do you want a winning speech? Don’t wait. Hire David today! I’m honored to admit, I’m a client for life.”
“David is a master in pumping up humor in any presentation. Having been summoned to emcee a high-profile event in my community, I immediately went to the one source who I knew would make sure this was a success. And David delivered! Not only lines that got them all laughing, but the coaching of how an emcee should perform and his ability to customize the advice to my personality. The evening was a great success and I owe a lot of it to David.”
“When I first started working with David six years ago, something unexpected happened. He made my presentation so funny I was startled by the reaction of my audience! I needed to use that humor better. Now working with David is not an event, but a process. We combine his skills for humor with my knack for content to create presentations that are more interesting and memorable, and therefore, more effective.”
“David, you are amazing! Thank you for helping me be funnier. Your responsiveness, your work and your added-value are exceptional.”
“I worked with David for many years in Funnier Speeches and was amazed at how fast and funny he could write. Even now, I still go to David every time I’m looking for that perfect funny line.”
“Although I’m a CSP and can have fun with an audience, I’ve never done humor. Too afraid to even try. So when faced with a difficult booking that really required some levity, I immediately called the only person I know that can fix the ‘no humor’ speaker – David Glickman.
The results were amazing. He helped me develop funny content, helped me prepare how to deliver it, and most importantly he helped me feel confident that I could be funny. With funny material and a powerful way of delivering it, I was able to comfortably deliver humor for the first time in my life.”
“I was stuck making my opening story work. After receiving David’s input it works great. David’s keen comic eye saw clearly where my opening needed help and gave the story the humor help it needed, but was sensitive to my need to keep it my authentic story. David is a true pro, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing to add humor.”
“Big Laughs definitely means More Bookings—and David Glickman’s humor punchups have helped me get both! I’ve been using him for years.”
“Last night was one of the highlights of my life. The speech went better than I could have imagined. To a dull subject you give life. You made a humble man a hero. I can’t thank you enough.”
“David Glickman thinks out of the box, carefully considers the points you make, and skillfully develops humor that works around your points. I recommend him enthusiastically!”
“David Glickman is a funny guy who helped me be funnier after watching me speak just once. His suggestions and ideas were terrific and really helped punch up my presentation.”
