Using humor to make your message hit home.


Greg Shapiro

For 20 years, I’ve been using my background in comedy and improvisation to take dry subject matter and make it more fun - and more memorable.

  • Laser-focus on your Main Message - and how to use humor & interaction to make it stick.
  • Native English speaker, but also fluent in ESL ‘English as Second Language’.
  • Experienced improviser. Even when your event doesn’t go according to plan, I make it look like part of the plan.

A Gentleman Onstage.

Greg uses humor, but always with a diplomatic touch. Literally. He has performed for the Netherlands Embassy, as well as hosting events for French President François Hollande, and once for King Willem Alexander of the Netherlands. 

An Onstage Veteran. 

Greg has experience hosting events where everything goes right - and when it goes wrong. “Greg provided lots of laughter in an otherwise very serious crowd. Although confronted with some technical difficulties, Greg was well-equipped to improvise and let the show go on. I would definitely recommend Greg as a host! “ 
-Judith de Lange, Dutch Data Center Hub 

A published author.

Greg Shapiro is the author of 3 books, such as THE AMERICAN NETHERLANDER: 25 Years of Expat Tales, available internationally. Greg uses his experience with dual nationality to bridge the gap between cultures, between organizations, and between the presenters and the audience.

All jokes aside

Content, understanding of the topic and asking the right questions: Greg is a sharp moderator or interviewer.

Painfully accurate

It is funny because it is true.
