Greg Schwem,
a former newspaper and TV news reporter, aims his powers of observation at the absurdities
and irritations of everyday life, including attempts to use a computer in a presentation
called "Comedy with a Byte."
His wholesome boy-next-door looks disarm audiences. Then, he proceeds to use his "clean" but dagger-sharp wit to attack their funny bone.
Greg Schwem presents . . .
Are you looking to chuckle at the crazy, high-tech world we live in today? Look no further than Greg. Laugh along with him as he jokes about computers, technical support lines, voicemail, pocket-sized PC's and how acronyms are taking over the English language! He is perfect for your next awards banquet, sales meeting or other special event.
Whether it's a sales meeting, an awards dinner or simply an event
that needs a little humor, Greg Schwem is your comedian and your writer. As a stand-up
comedian Greg has entertained audiences from New York to Los Angeles with clean, amusing
stories ranging from the trials of owning a home computer to his first trip aboard a
riverboat casino, to his experiences as a former NBC television reporter. Greg's material
about technology and the information age caught the attention of the Chicago Tribune which
wrote, "Schwem performs the material the way any good stand-up should: making it
simple." (March 15, 1996)
As a writer, Greg is co-author of the humor book, "Till What Do We Part? A Wedding Planner for the Etiquette Impaired." Greg also has scripted and performed comedy material for dozens of Fortune 500 companies for use in trade shows, sales meetings and industrial films.
Greg's television credits include: "Caroline’s Comedy Hour," VH-1's "Stand-up Spotlight," A&E's "An Evening at the Improv" and "Comedy Central."
He has opened for Celine Dion, the Righteous Brothers, Lee Greenwood and others.
During his act, Greg reminds audiences that he's not getting any younger. "I finally hurt my back. I play tennis, I golf and I ski. I pulled a muscle taking clothes out of the dryer. The doctor laughed at me. He gave me a painkiller and told me not to do laundry for 30 days."
What others say about Greg Schwem --
Wisconsin Association of
Consulting Engineers:
"Kudos for a
wonderful job at our Annual Awards Dinner. Your presentation of
the WACE Engineering Excellence Awards was the hit of the evening.
You turned a 'boring to all but the winners' event into a fun
Friday evening of entertainment. Your performance far
exceeded my expectations, and you did a magnificent job at keeping
our audience's attention." -- Carol
Godiksen, WACE
Executive Director
Virginia Chamber of Commerce:
"On behalf of the
planning committee for the 51st Virginia Conference on World
Trade, thank you for providing such a hilariously entertaining
performance at the Awards Banquet. We have never heard 500 people
laugh so hard and so long.
You grabbed the audience
in about 30 seconds, which demonstrates how deep our collective
frustration level is with modern technology. Your routine is right
on target, and your rapid-fire ad-libs and interaction with the
audience added to the enjoyment. We have received tremendous
positive feedback about your performance. It was, without
question, the highlight of the banquet and one of the most
enjoyable presentations we have ever had." -- Hugh Keogh, President
Mitel:
"On behalf of Mitel
Corporation and our North American sales staff and senior
management, I want to let you know how much we enjoyed your stand-up
routine. The high tech, business content
was bang-on, so much in fact that many in the audience felt that it
had been developed just for them. In our post-event feedback
questionnaire, your entertainment was rated as the highlight of
the week-long event." -- Janis A. Downey, Manager,
Marketing Communications
RealWorld Corporation:
"Thank you for your
outstanding performance at our Reseller Conference. We have
received several phone calls from our resellers telling us how
much they enjoyed your show. Your stand-up routine set the tone
for our conference, allowing our resellers to get ready to learn
about the products, communicate and 'relax.'
We were very impressed at
your ability to prepare for the session, gathering all the
information you could about our company and portraying the
'humorous' side of doing business. You possess an amazing gift
that was not only entertaining, but a learning experience as well.
Thanks for making those of us who planned the conference look
great!" -- Kathleen A. Lavoie,
Marketing events Manager
Automating Peripherals, Inc.:
"I want to thank you
for a wonderful performance at our Client Forum. Our Closing
Reception was a hit! Our event brings in
clients from all over the nation and from a variety of
disciplines. Catering to all their interests is definitely a
challenge! However, when we saw your act last year, we knew you
were a 'must-have' for our event.
Your understanding of
technology made our clients feel as though they were 'understood.'
We really appreciate the effort you put forth learning about our company
and incorporating that knowledge into your act, making the
performance specifically tailored for A.P.I. Client feedback rated your
performance as the highlight of our conference!" -- Elizabeth
Spengeman, Business
Development Coordinator

write scripts for our shows, and then also be our talent at those shows is very
gratifying." -- Shirley Smith
