David Glickman: Profile

David Glickman has been a full-time professional comedian for twenty years. He has performed over 2,000 comedy shows.

Before becoming a comedian, he earned a communications degree from the University of Florida. He worked for nearly a decade as a Manager of Public Relations and Marketing. In 1985, he switched from the “world of business” to “show business.”

Two years later, he opened South Florida’s first successful chain of comedy clubs. Initially named “Coconuts,” they later were renamed “Uncle Funny’s.” The clubs flourished. He also opened comedy clubs in several Atlantic City casinos.

David was featured in “Rolling Stone” magazine and scores of other publications. He was the opening act for stars such as Ellen DeGeneres, Ray Romano, Barbara Mandrell, Carol Channing, and many more. Steve Martin personally selected him from over 100 comics for an appearance on a CBS comedy program.

David sold the comedy clubs in 1992. He began focusing on shows for the corporate world. He began to get more national attention. He was selected the winner of the Entenmann’s National “Funniest Person In America” Contest from over 500 contestants. He was featured on “Evening At The Improv” and several other national television shows. He performed for Gloria Estefan’s birthday party. His ability to customize humorous material specifically to the client increased the demand for his services.

In 1995, David moved from Miami to Tampa. His list of corporate clients continues to grow as fast as the positive word-of-mouth and industry “buzz” that follows each of his performances. He is an active member of the National Speakers Association and is Past President of the National Speakers Association—Central Florida.
