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!

Leagues, Tournaments, and Other Events Underhanded Events - Dartball Leagues, Tournaments, and Other Events Download Media Kit [object Object] In 1923, The Apex Dart Company invented a new board made of basswood and emblazoned with a general likeness of a baseball field and created a new game called ‘Dartball.’ From there, it took several years to gather steam, but the first known Dartball league came to be in a Pennsylvania Lutheran church basement 5 years later. Over the next several decades, the game slowly spread around the Upper Midwest and Rust Belt, particularly catching on in Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Kansas City. By the 1950s, it had held a following in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but truly had a cultural grip in church basements and clubs throughout Wisconsin where it is still popular today. This is where the story of Underhanded Events begins. In the late 1940s at a Catholic Church named St. Willebrord’s in Green Bay, WI, a group of parishioners got together weekly for games while their spouses played cards. A piece of Americana almost too cliché for Norman Rockwell to memorialize. St. Willy’s was a formidable team with an ace up their sleeve- Hank Eisch. Hank was a renowned triples-hitter with multiple league ‘batting titles’ spanning the 50s, 60s and 70s. He was something of a legend in the local Dartball scene (which yes, it was and is a scene). Three generations later, his great grandson, Nate Berg, and his dad, Gary, caught the Dartball bug. Not literally of course, as no one wanted to get ‘the bug’ in 2020! They wanted to revive the game that has been mostly lost or is still unknown outside of Wisconsin and bring the old family tradition, and great socializing and team building event to Minnesota and beyond. Combining many of Gary and Nate’s favorite things: sports, tradition, laughing, and most importantly, sharing a great time with groups of people, Underhanded Events was officially founded in 2021 as a labor of love to help get people back together and have fun and get out of the isolated rut that the pandemic created. The game is best described in our video. It is played like a baseball/softball game and it is accessible and fun for all adults no matter what their athletic skills. And what’s old is new again with this great game. Leagues, tournaments, company events and fundraising events are forming all the time. You can learn more, and ask questions at: www.UnderhandedEvents.com >> Career Highlights >> Testimonials >> Basic Set-Up Needs An indoor, or well protected outdoor space, ideally 32’ x 32’ to host a full four-board event. The area should be well lit and ideally have standard electricity available. >> Sample Introduction >> Pricing Information Download Rider
