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.

David Cummings Bio
David is someone who has been paid money all his working life for writing and talking to people. Born in London, he began his career as a salesman by day and comedian by night. For 20 years he wrote TV shows for comedians Dave Allen, Dick Emery, Kenneth Williams, Rolf Harris and many, many more. Still performing all the while. In 1983 David was brought to Sydney by Reg Grundy to work for Grundy TV.

Then he switched to the business world, making corporate videos and producing newsletters for companies like Qantas, BHP, Remington, Wyeth, Legal & General, UBD, Contiki and Permanent Trustee. Now he is back where he started, making people laugh in public.
