Making Politics FUN... and FUNNY! 6/14/2016 0 Comments Recently, Funny Biz Writers custom wrote a political roast speech for a major political operative in a Southern state. In the event, held at a top, big city hotel, he and others roasted the ex-mayor, the ex-governor and the former Ambassador to the UN, among others. The crowd loved it and they turned politics- often something divisive and overly serious- into something fun, unifying and funny, through the power of laughter. This clip is an excerpt of the long event. See what Funny Biz Speech Writer  and the power of funny can do for your next event, even if it has nothing to do with politics.  0 Comments OUR Southern Strategy..... 2/25/2016 0 Comments Funny Biz Writers was recently hired by an impressively connected and accomplished political writer / activist in a large Southern state to write a roast speech, aiming barbs at major elected city and state-wide politicians and, in some cases, nationally famous names, all of whom were to be in attendance. It was all in good fun, as the powerful movers and shakers in the room were not to be actually devastated and enraged by the very edgy, seemingly harsh put-downs, but they were to take it in the spirit of what it is- being honored and acknowledged by friends, as everyone in the large room is essentially on the same side. It was frankly fun to write this roast speech, which comprised many jokes framed within appropriately serious, explanatory setup elements that framed the razor-sharp zingers. It thrilled us to know that the targets of the jokes have sat in Governor's mansions and City Halls and, in some cases, The White House as trusted members of a presidential administration. But the point is that we love poring over the facts of ANY roast honoree's life, their accomplishments and background, their earliest life, and what they did last week- all to find an opportunity to write a punchline that will make audience members physically reel in their seats and involuntarily dribble a bit of chablis down their chins. Whether our client's roast honoree is a world famous figure or someone just famous within the thingamajig manufacturing plant of Anywheresville, Your State, we know that the roast jokes we write will be impactful and successful for our clients in THEIR world- be it blue collar, white collar, pink collar, no collar or priest collar. Every client's social and professional circle becomes the center of our universe and every roast event is an opportunity to fill a room with joy and laughter and win immeasurable goodwill and major points for our client. The sound of an audience exploding with hearty, uncontrollable laughter at an unexpected punchline is music to our ears- North, South, East or West. So take a piece of advice, y'all, from our new friend and client Down South- who emailed to tell us that his roast absolutely KILLED- and hire proven, professional comedy writers with a record of powerful results at Funny Biz Writers. Any other move might just be dumber 'n' dirt, or like chasin' a squirrel with a caterpillar net. Okay, we'll leave the colorful, old time expressions to our Southern friends!
