Stand-Up Comedian Tim Cavanagh Stand-Up Comedian Download Media Kit [object Object] Tim Cavanagh is a professional comedian and speaker, which has come as a complete shock to this family. They still remember him as the guy who refused to say a single word for the first nineteen months of his life. And now look at him. He’s making up for lost time. Over the last twenty years, Tim has brought his clean and engaging comedy to hundreds of business groups across the U.S. and Canada. He puts together a customized comedy show that hits just the right notes. He always does his homework, researching your website and speaking with members of your group on conference calls to learn about your business, your group’s issues and its personalities. With that information in hand, he carefully crafts his material to create a unique show that really hits home. It’s never a “canned” speech (so there’s no worry about botulism). He delivers a fresh and personalized comedy experience every time out. One thing that Tim especially enjoys is involving audience members in his show with positive, playful interaction. His clean, clever, audience-friendly style is perfect for any business event. Tim’s comedy mission is simple–Customize It! Finding the Funny in Your Business. Tim’s Most Requested Programs: –“They’re LAUGHING at Me!”—Tim puts together a truly unique comedy show, including customized material written just for your group, funny songs, lots of jokes, playful audience interaction, and over $7 in prizes. The humor is always clean and appropriate. And if you want Tim to customize the program title (e.g., “What’s So Funny about Tax Accounting?” “Laughter is the Second Best Medicine,” etc.), just ask. –“Dr. Tim Cavanagh, IMPOSTOR”—Instead of introducing Tim as a comedian, he can be presented to the audience in a variety of “serious” personas. Examples range from an off-kilter industry “expert” or a new bumbling company Vice President, to the panicked Head of Hotel Security or a know-nothing government official. Or, he can be anything in between. –“Our Host for Today’s Event, Tim Cavanagh”—Tim can act as a Master of Ceremonies for a day of meetings or educational sessions and make it move smoothly with a healthy dose of comedy when needed. He can also host an awards banquet or recognition dinner with just the right combination of humor and warmth. >> Career Highlights Tim’s national credits include ABC-TV, Comedy Central, Showtime, and WGN America. He can be heard regularly on the nationally syndicated “Bob & Tom” radio show, where he has been a featured contributor for over a decade. His funny songs have been showcased on Sirius XM radio, the “Dr. Demento” radio show, and BBC Radio 4. He’s even been heard on Continental Airlines—at no additional fee (we’re pretty sure). From AAA to Xerox, from Bayer to Weyerhaeuser, they all have laughed at Tim Cavanagh. Tim’s comedy mission is simple—finding what’s funny in your business. And then you’ll be laughing at him, too! Tim has performed for hundreds of companies. Here is a partial list of some of those corporate groups: 3-M Aequitron Medical Aeronautical Repair Station Association AgriBank American Crystal Sugar American Legion/National Commanders Ameriprise Financial Anheuser-Busch AT&T BASF Bayer BP America Burlington Northern Cabella’s Cargill Caterpillar Cellular One Cendant Corporation Chicago Dental Society CIGNA Comcast Discover Financial Edina Realty Farmers Insurance Group Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corp.

With over 250 nightclub, corporate, and college performances last year, to say that he’s making up for lost time is an understatement! While comedy has been Tim’s favorite job, it hasn’t been his only job. After receiving a B.A. in Philosophy from Loyola University of Chicago, Tim taught religion at an all-girl’s Catholic high school for three years. After leaving the classroom, he collected some impressive comedy credentials. He has appeared on a prime-time TV comedy special with Dudley Moore, and has been seen on Showtime and Comedy Central.

Original Country Music with Redneck Humor Poppa Bear Norton Original Country Music with Redneck Humor Download Media Kit [object Object] Who is Poppa Bear Norton? Hailing from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Poppa Bear Norton proclaim themselves to be America’s only, and therefore number one, daredevil country act! They were recently awarded both the 2018 Midwest Country Music Association’s “Songwriter of the Year” and “Maverick” awards and have been described as hilarious hillbilly music and a two-man country music marvel. They perform their own brand of country and western music that harkens back to the days of Buck Owens and Johnny Cash, as well as the outlaw era of Waylon, Willie, and Haggard. A time when a song was written like a well-crafted story and performed with passion, sincerity, humor, and refined musical skill that has been lost in today’s modern sound. When “Poppa Bear” (aka The Singer) and “B” (aka The Slinger) hit the stage and fire up their one-part honky-tonk, one-part Hee-Haw styled country show, it’s fast, exciting, fun, and entertaining. That’s what makes it daredevil country. Poppa Bear Norton is not just a band or a duo, it’s an award-winning act whose musical style, funny stage banter, and captivating lyrics will have you laughing one minute and tearing up the next. Non-country folks like ‘em because they look wild, play fast, and have fun performing a style of music they may have never heard before, in a way they have never seen. Country fans love ‘em because their energy, music, and stage banter remind them of something genuine and familiar, yet at the same time something completely new and different.

It's pure entertainment!" -The Wolf 102.9 Radio Personality “From a grand VIP dinner or outdoor marina party to opening for a national entertainer…no matter the type of event, Poppa Bear Norton captures their audience’s attention from the first chorus to the very last note. The singer (Zak “Poppa Bear”) and the slinger (Bronson) will have you laughing hysterically with their jokes, banter and clever lyrics one minute and tearing up over a heartbreak song the next. Their original music is like none other. Instrumentally, vocally and lyrically gifted…when these two tell a story you can see it unfolding like a movie right before your eyes. Extraordinarily talented, genuine, personable and professional, a one-of-a-kind class act you don’t want to miss.” -Treasure Island Resort & Casino “While everyone else in music seems to be going down the same path, these guys take a sharp turn down a dirt road and give a familiar yet refreshing new take on country music.

In the summer of 1972, they were asked to perform for their friend’s wedding dance and 44 years later Warren Petryk and Tim Stevens are still singing and playing music together. Starting out as a very part-time adventure, Warren and Tim, along with classmate and fellow founding member – John Lynch, performed anywhere, and everywhere they could. Village halls, golf courses, high schools, community festivals, wedding dances, night clubs, bowling alleys, street dances, ballrooms, barn dances, supper clubs, ski resorts, and more. There have been many highlights through the years. Among them are: In March of 1975, the group won first place at a regional talent contest held at the Black Steer Supper Club in Eau Claire, WI. From 1976 through 1978, they were the “House Band” at Pine Point Lodge in Menomonie, WI.

Feedback was great for you and Warren. The only complaint was that we did not have you both nights. I must admit that the head table got up and left on Saturday night. The act did not have them under control like The Memories did. They had a good show, but not the good variety you have. Thanks again & hope to see you soon.” –Hitterdal Lions Club “I just wanted to send a belated thank you for the wonderful concert you put on for the Lions in Mahnomen, MN last month. I heard you for the first time about 12 years ago at another Lions event and have since heard you at the Phelps Mill Festival. Your music is great (yes, I have all your cd’s, plus a few old cassettes!) – And is good, clean, family oriented fun.
