David Cummings presenting a hoax, folks!

How does it work?
A hoax is a pain-free method of including comedy in your conference or after-dinner presentation. It’s clever and it’s classy. David Cummings poses as a Very Important Person. Usually a consultant from the UK or a company executive. The audience thinks he is real - why shouldn’t they? This man is very powerful and convincing.

He wades into sacred cows like teamwork, leadership and customer service. It comes out as the opposite of anything you have ever heard. Getting laughs all the way. Some audience members are appalled. Others agree with his outrageous opinions. A manager from ICI said, ‘For the first 15 minutes I was ready to worship at your feet as the great god of leadership – ah well, I’ll have to keep on searching.’

Into the comedy
Staying in character as the ‘expert’, David moves seamlessly into comedy. Keeping it tasteful but funny. Staying in character as the management consultant. Revealing his real identity at the very end.

Tailored for you
20 years as a TV comedy writer in the UK and Australia has given David the expertise to tailor the presentation to your industry or organisation. At the briefing you can give him the information he needs to do just that. As a businessman himself (especially with his company The Newsletter People) David has learned a lot about the corporate world. He uses this business knowledge as the basis for much of his humour.

Testimonial

"I would like to thank you for your performance at our Sportsman’s Charity Luncheon on 14th November. We have received wonderful comments from our guests quoting:

“The best comedian you have had in 7 years”. 
“I can’t believe we all got caught out – he was fantastic”.
“My first thought was, what’s this guy on about, but then he just got funnier and funnier”.  “Great alternative to a standard comedian – he had us all”.

On behalf of the committee and our members, thank you very much for your time in preparing for the presentation, our all male guests are normally a tough audience to please but you achieved a great result. It was a pleasure dealing with you and Patricia."

Jenny Zadro, Sports Turf Association, NSW Incorporated
