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 Power Point slides, Greg takes his audiences on hilarious tours through their work environments. His preparation includes: company web site research, conference calls and maybe even a personal visit! As Greg recently told one newspaper 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, “Santa Doesn’t Bring Cell Phones.”
