About Perry Kurtz

As a working comedian of 46 years, I am currently offering education combined with comedy, where I teach people how to be funny without being offensive, as well as using humor to communicate and improve the quality of their writings, personal and business lives. This is a great training for actors, as it teaches them them timing AND delivery. Back in the early I was teaching the young people of \"That\'s So Raven\" improv and standup comedy. Some of the best actors have been comedian as they use REAL emotion in their acts. Laughter brings people together. People work and live better when they are happy. I am the laughter.I have numerous TV & commercial appearances, and material created on the spot to fit your needs.I have special shows for any meetings, events, concerts, seniors or convalescents, for any size group or occasion. G to X Rated, right on your computer or TV screens. Now offering virtual entertainment at YOUR location. After 46 years as a full time working entertainer, I have settled into being a Speaker & Corporate Comedian, known for Interactive & Motivational Comedy and Music (G to X rated), for all ages. Each show is about and stars the audience and whatever they are doing AS they do it. No 2 shows are the same. And no one has EVER been offended, The audience leaves happy, feeling good about their lives, and looking forward to tomorrow. Perry has been seen on HBO\'s Young Comedians Special with Rodney Dangerfield, Good Time Cafe with Bill Rafferty, The Love Connection, America\'s Funniest People, Let\'s Make A Deal, The Tonight Show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, America\'s Got Talent, and so much more. Goal: To make everyone in the world laugh at least once. Maybe twice.Also available for Comedy & Humor Training, writing, material editing, humor motivation,\"Using Humor to Sell\" Training, The World is Quarantined. There are no live in-person shows scheduled anywhere. BUT, you can still hire Perry Kurtz to do a Live Interactive Virtual Comedy and Music Show at Your location. And I don\'t even enter your property.That means I broadcast LIVE to your TV screen thru the internet, and you set up your phone so I can see and hear your people, to give them a personalized interactive Comedy & Music Show created on-the-spot about and with your people. It\'s all about whatever the crowd is doing AS they are doing it. I can even write material in advance about members of the group, sort of a light hearted roast where no one\'s feelings are hurt, to make the show more (family/clean humor)
