Humor Testimonials
"One of the challenges of speaking and training is balancing the serious content with a delivery style that engages the audience and keeps their attention. Ron Culberson at Funnier Speeches was able to add humor to my presentation without sacrificing my style or my voice. The personalized humor really worked for me and has made my presentations much funnier."
Nancy MacKay
"I hired Ron Culberson to punch-up my keynote with more humor. Not only did he write some hilarious new material but he also helped me "find the funny" in my own stories. The results have been truly amazing and I now get consistent comments from meeting planners that they had no idea "how funny" I was! Ron is a joy to work with and I recommend him highly if you want to engage your audiences with more humor!

“David brought ‘good things’ to my introduction….I have used it for the past 2 years with over 200 audiences…they always laugh at exactly the same spot, they always smile at that ‘other’ spot, and they always warmly receive such a clever guy like me…clever because I know (and hire) David!!”
Kevin O’Connor, CSP
“I was stuck making my opening story work. After receiving David’s input it works great. David’s keen comic eye saw clearly where my opening needed help and gave the story the humor help it needed, but was sensitive to my need to keep it my authentic story. David is a true pro, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing to add humor.”
John Wagner
“Invariably when someone comments on how funny my writing is, I thank them and then send Ron Culberson an e-mail, informing him the latest joke/pun/witticism he added to my work was a hit. An expert at finding the humor in everyday life, Ron brings a wry sensibility to the page. There is a rhythm to humor writing that few adequately capture. Ron has the experience, expertise, and most of all, the eye/ear for humor that makes his writing and editing skills a must for anyone who is serious about taking their work to the next level.
As a humor writer, it’s depressing when the person editing your work is funnier than you. But I wouldn’t dare submit a humor piece without first having Ron work his magic."
Dena Harris
“The talent of Ron Culberson goes far beyond just being incredibly funny. Ron absolutely understands and absorbs the voice of the person for whom he's writing, and gives material that is not only very funny, but very authentic. This is a rare talent in comedy writers and for that, Ron is a National Treasure. Ron is both brilliant as a writer and a delightful person with whom to work, a rare combination. I enjoyed every minute of my work with Ron. If you hire Ron to work with you, you are guaranteed material far beyond what you expected and guaranteed a good time in the creation of it. Ron will make you a rock star.”
Janet Lapp, CPAE, PhD, CSP
“David, Thanks for the hilarious ideas and input you gave me for my book and keynote speech. You helped me come up with things I would have never thought of on my own. My publisher loves ‘em, my audiences love ‘em, and I love ‘em! Most people have two funny bones—- you have 206! (That’s every bone in your body)”
Rich Fettke, CPPC, MCC
"I am funny – but Glickman and Culberson are hilarious. It takes a humorist to know the really talented people in the business – at not only writing great humor but being able to teach others how to deliver it with the timing of a Jerry Seinfeld. When I need a line – these guys deliver pure laughs.
A picture is worth a 1,000 words but a great laugh is priceless – or available at a nominal fee from great teachers of humor. Glickman and Culberson are the best in the business for helping others see funny, be funny and deliver the laughs."
Mark Scharenbroich, CSP, CPAE
"When I first started working with David and Ron six years ago, something unexpected happened. They made my presentation so funny I was startled by the reaction of my audience! I needed to use that humor better. Now working with David and Ron is not an event, but a process. We combine their skills for humor with my knack for content to create presentations that are more interesting and memorable, and therefore, more effective."
Jeff Korhan
“If anything needs added humor, it’s an all-day tax seminar being presented to CPAs. I was desperate and in a hurry. Ron and David added three to five great humor ‘punch ups’ per page to over 100 pages of script discussing cutting edge tax law…with a 5 day turn-around! This team knows how to write humor and to make CPAs laugh out loud. Imagine what they can do for a crowd with a personality!”
