Funny man with a message!

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.
