David Naylor is an ‘out-of-the-box’ conference
entertainer, social commentator and facilitator who can bring
life to your next event with his unique blend of humour, warmth
and creativity.
He is a versatile, intelligent comedian who is passionate about
engaging us on all levels – head, heart and body!
Having worked in the corporate sector as a marketeer and facilitator,
David has a good knack for quickly absorbing the concepts, language
and nuances of particular groups. He creates customised characters
and presentations that fit the industry and culture of your
event.
David is an experienced improviser who designs his work to
integrate into the content, flow and atmosphere of your event.
For longer durations his characters can journey with the delegates,
and re-appear throughout the event, responding to the material
of the day.
Consider the group energy of a 'run-of-the-mill' day of powerpoint
presentations . .
By comparison, David can help you create an inspired event
that is infused with humour and integrated physical activities
leaving the audience feeling more connected with the material
and uplifted . .
His humour is often a parody of the nuances of being human
and our attempts to appear sophisticated. His characters are
usually self-deprecating and very likeable. David also creates
group performances in collaboration with other performers and
musicians as required.

Dr Funk at the 2008 conference 'Breathing New Life into General
Practice' at Parliament House, Canberra. The singer/guitarist
is Simon Oats.
