Greg Schwem

Greg Schwem is a business humorist, comedian, and author who performs over 50 corporate shows annually for Fortune 500 companies and professional associations. He speaks on the absurdities of modern work life, technology in the workplace, and generational dynamics, delivering clean comedy that is always topical, timely, and relevant to each audience’s business. Greg’s comedic take on the 21st-century workplace has made him one of the most in-demand humorists on the corporate circuit.

Credits That Speak for Themselves
Greg has performed for Microsoft, Cisco, IBM, Motorola, McDonald’s, and dozens of other Fortune 500 companies and major associations. His comedy has been featured on SIRIUS Radio, FOX News, Comedy Central, and in Parade Magazine. He is the author of Text Me If You’re Breathing: Observations, Frustrations and Life Lessons From a Low-Tech Dad, a humorous look at navigating family life in the digital age.

More Than Just Funny
What separates Greg from other humorists is his ability to customize every performance around each client’s industry, challenges, and current events. He researches his audiences thoroughly, ensuring every joke lands and every observation feels personal. His keynotes deliver a hilarious, customized take on workplace culture, technology overload, and the generational dynamics that shape how teams communicate, collaborate, and occasionally drive each other crazy.

Work, Laugh, Repeat

Perfect for any group that needs a humorous break from the serious side of business.  In spite of its therapeutic qualities, laughter is often absent from the business environment.  Greg shows it is possible to laugh at work and about work.  Audience members will put down their iPads and Blackberries and laugh along with Greg as he good-naturedly discusses topics such as Smart Phone abuse, social network overload, never-ending conference calls, “frequently” asked questions, and home office workers. His preparation includes company web site research, phone conferences and maybe even a personal visit!

Rock, Roll & Laugh Your Way to the Top!

Greg Schwem knows a thing or two about rock and roll.  As a comedian who has opened concerts for stars ranging from Keith Urban, to Celine Dion, to Enrique Iglesias to (wait for it) KC and the Sunshine Band, Greg has seen how rock and roll is really a business. Like your business.  In short?  Every company and employee has “rock star” potential.  Greg shows you how to achieve that potential in a presentation that combines hilarious comedy, live concert footage and a musical soundtrack featuring everything from classic rock to country to Lollapalooza.  Topics include “Why Every Office Needs a Keith Richards,” “Are you Team Taylor or Team Kanye?,” and “Don’t Let Your Company Become a Country Song.”

Meeting emcee/video host

A good emcee needs to multitask. He must keep the event moving, be adept at improvisation and work efficiently with all participants onstage. Greg Schwem has hosted everything from a one-hour awards ceremony for 200 BAE Systems engineers to a three-day conference for 6,000 McDonald’s restaurant managers, to a virtual webinar for IBM customers. He is equally at ease chatting with a company CEO live on stage, pronouncing (correctly) the names of awards recipients, or conducting humorous on-camera interviews with meeting attendees.
