 | Bill Cosby -- California USA, Contact for fee schedule
[NOTE: Bill Cosby's non-profit rates are also in the Above $75,000 fee category.] With over thirty years in comedy, Bill Cosby is for many young comedians the man who wrote the textbook. What Cosby teaches is to approach the monologue as a screenwriter looks at real life, bringing to each story the structure and body of a complete work. The Cosby student will also learn that one does not have to use offensive language or risque topics to obtain laughs. According to Cosby, "Anyone should be able to say on stage what they want. But those who have knowledge, do understand that certain things on stage can be abused and misused. And if such topics are used just for laughter, the humor will not stand the test of time."

In-between Dana's outrageously funny sight gags and poking fun at magicians, he sets out to prove that his little green friend is truly clairvoyant. Together, they perform such miracles as finding chosen cards, reading the mind of somebody on a cell phone and turning a member of the audiences $100 bill into bird food only to have it reappear inside an egg laid by Luigi. (Tough trick for a male bird.) With Dana as the comedian, and Luigi as the straight bird, the duo is perf

 | Durwood Fincher -- Georgia USA, 10.0k to 15.0k
He's been called "Mr. Doubletalk" by Candid Camera's Allen Funt. Corporate executives have called him "the great impostor" and "the perfect icebreaker." Whatever you call him, you'll agree that Durwood Fincher is like no other speaker in America today! Usually introduced as Dr. Robert Payne, a highly-touted government "expert" straight from Washington, Fincher begins his speech with a delicious diatribe filled with bureaucratic rhetoric and platitudes. "Oh, no!" the audience thinks to itself as the sentences grow longer and the words become more obscure. Soon everyone is squirming and frowning as "words" begin to appear that really aren't words at all. Suddenly someone realizes what's happening and snickers. Then others catch on and begin to chuckle. Finally, a wave of realization passes over the audience and frowns turn into laughter as everyone becomes aware that he or she has been had.
