Brian Longwell has worked for years as a professional comedian at venues in the US and has toured the UK. He combined his corporate background with his comedy experience and now gives “presentations” using an old style overhead projector with stick figure drawings with his parody of a motivational speaker “How to be Successful”. His unique talent was recognized at the New York Comedy Festival by his inclusion in the Andy Kaufman competition in which he was atwo time finalist, proclaimed a Edinburgh Festival top 10 by the London Times, a finalist in the Boston Comedy festival, regularly headlines at the Comedy Studio in Cambridge, MA, and other venues with his unique act.. On the corporate front, Brian has performed for AT&T, Hewlett Packard, McKinsey, John Hancock, and many medium and small size companies.
Comedy show reviews: With very funny overhead projector illustrations, this is a sophisticated, thoroughly enjoyable, irony-filled, tongue-in-cheek antidote to all those American motivational speakers… See the show. Chortle UK Comedy Guide
“This show is definitely for anyone who has ever worked in a very corporate setting. Brian is very dry and sarcastic, but he is very funny. His visual aids will stun you with it’s humorous simplicity.” Edfringe.com Reviews
“What the world needs more of are non-motivational speakers. Blokes in suits who tell you how to do it wrong every time, or how to cock up properly. Brian Longwell’s your chap with his primitive, hand drawn transparencies, and one-man brainstorming sessions.” The List
“I particularly enjoyed Brain Longwell, very dry, cynical and well, American. Three Weeks “Loved him to bits” BBC Radio “Festival Top 10” London Times
