David Glickman
David Glickman has been a professional speaker and entertainer for over twenty five years and has presented over 2000 programs. Before transitioning from “show business” to “business shows,” he worked with everyone from The Beach Boys to Steve Martin and performed at private parties for singer Gloria Estefan and former President Jimmy Carter.
He has appeared on “Evening At The Improv” and several other national television shows—including the national PBS special “Miami Comedy Fest,” for which he also served as the Executive Producer.
Not content to rely solely on outside opportunities for bookings during those years, David opened his very own comedy club in Miami. Despite its unlikely location in the lounge of a Howard Johnson hotel, the club grew into the most popular comedy venue in Miami.
One club led to another, and eventually David was operating a chain of comedy clubs, both in South…
- Off the Top of My Head - Improvisation Exercises For Creativity & Thinking On Your Feet

All participation in the improv games is strictly voluntary—attendees can “play”—or simply sit back and observe and learn.

It is a safe, judgment-free environment that just happens to be the most fun you’ll ever have while you’re learning! - Master of Ceremonies - Ensuring Your Entire Event Is Presented Professionally, Punctually & Hilariously
David Glickman has more on-stage experience as a Master of Ceremonies than any other Keynote Speaker working today. In his years of owning comedy clubs, he strategically positioned himself solely in the Emcee position, so that he could control the flow of the program, complement the material of the other performers, bring the energy level of the program up or down as necessary, and ‘save’ the show if there were any comedy ‘disasters’. He also used those years of stage time as Emcee to refine his skills and learn the art & science of the role. (And anyone who doesn’t believe that emceeing is both an art and a science hasn’t done it very much.) When David transitioned from “show business” to “business shows” he was able to take those highly-developed skills as a Master of Ceremonies to the corporate stage. Since that time, many meeting planners have experienced the amazing value and benefits of having David serve both as a Keynote Speaker and as the Master of Ceremonies for the entire event. It guarantees consistency for the agenda and hilarity throughout the event for the audience. - Custom Corporate Comedy - When You Just Want To Laugh!

He can also include a comedic take on any theme or initiative that your group is embracing (or resisting)! - Prescription-Strength Humor Exclusively For Healthcare Professionals

And it qualifies for CE and CME! David Glickman puts the med in comedy and the Comedy in Medicine. - Changing Your Perspective To Produce Powerful Results
Why is everyone so serious? Just look around the average workplace and you’ll see most employees dealing with the stress of constant change, increased expectations, and having to do more with less. Well, the bad news is that those stressors are probably not going away any time soon. But the good news—the awesome news—is that there’s another way to approach them. Another way that successfully removes the stress that accompanies these challenges—and transforms them into coping strategies that will have you laughing instead of loathing. Certified Speaking Professional David Glickman will teach you how Funny Is The New Serious. He will show you how by simply changing your perspective you will experience a profound way of handling whatever challenges life sends your way. “Funny Is The New Serious” is not so much a typical general session ‘speech’ as it is a full-blown high-energy one-man show. It’s got observational humor, funny visuals & props, hilarious song parodies, and a big “rock and roll” finish! All of which serve as a delivery mechanism for a very powerful message. BONUS: In addition to his prepared material, David will also sit through any general sessions that precede his, logistics permitting, and then offer an ‘instant comedic summary’ of the other programs as part of his presentation. In addition to the entertainment value, this segment of David’s keynote provides a very effective reinforcement of any other messages and themes that have been offered throughout your event.
