Brian Longwell Motivational Speaker from Newburyport, MA

Faux success/motivational "expert". Very funny presentation involving overhead projector and hand drawn stick figure slides. Works very well as a surprise way to end a long day of serious presentations or to break things up. I can be described as a corporate comedian that understands the culture. Besides being a comedian, I have an MS in electrical engineering and spent 11 years working for AT&T's Bell Laboratories. While designing microchips by day, I started working as a professional comedian by night. Most comedians aspire to "quit their day jobs", but I used my growing income from comedy to start hmy own technology company and in 1992 I left Bell Labs to create Special Projects Group, Inc. I've worked for years as a professional comedian at venues in the US and has toured the UK. I decided to combine my corporate background with my comedy experience and now I give "presentations" using an old style overhead projector with stick figure drawings tackling humorous topics like "Why Work?", "How to be Successful" and have presented topical presentations such as "Why Vote?" . I was recognized at the New York Comedy Festival by inclusion in the Andy Kaufman competition in which I was a finalist. I recently started up with "The Bash" so here's some reviews from another booking site: Brian provided the perfect presentation to a highly motivated team at the end of a very busy day. His humorous approach was very much appreciated.

I would book him again Reviewer: Kya McCullum Event Date: December 10th, 2019 Services Provided: Business Motivational Speaker Rating: 5 out of 5 Great event Brian’s presentation is non stop laughs. I hired him to close out a quarterly sales meeting and the entire team thoroughly enjoyed it. He’s a self proclaimed Motivational Expert, not to be confused with a Motivational Speaker. He’s a perfect fit for a company that doesn’t take themselves too seriously and truly understands that in order to have a fun life, you need to have fun at work!
