Perry Kurtz - Interactive Comedy & Music For All Ages
About
I offer a Professional Interactive Comedy & Music Show. Modern audiences are beginning to realize that the comedy they see on TV is homogenized and watered down, and live comedy is more fun because they are involved in an art form that is being created just for them.
I use music, dance, video (if applicable), life stories, and lots of audience interaction to keep it lively and motivating. As I have over 14 hours of material, I create my show around the audience and whatever is happening AS it happens. No 2 shows are ever alike.
I also can write "Roast or Toast" material for your more notable members, in a NICE way. Material runs from G to X Rated. It's YOUR choice. The goal is that everyone has a good time and no one is offended. I don't want to change the world. I want to make everyone in the world laugh at least once.
Aside from being a professional comedian for over 45 years, performing in major national and local nightclubs around the world, and corporate events on a regular basis, I have been a writer and guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, multiple winner in the LA Comedy Awards, teaching Comedy Classes at Adult Schools and Colleges, and training company employees to use humor to improve their professional and private lives. I was also on Let's Make A Deal, viewable at https://youtu.be/d7zYpVV3tWE, and was on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
They will leave knowing THEY were the stars of the show.

I take people away from their lives and give them laughter and motivation. Everyone leaves feeling good and looking forward to tomorrow.
