Description

National headliner Rik Roberts is 100% Clean and 150% funny! He can offer you multiple choices for your event including Stand-Up Comedy, a Motivational Speech or an appearance as Barney Fife!

1) STAND-UP COMEDY SHOW

My clean comedy show is upbeat and connects on a variety of levels. Audiences relate to the material and to my easy going style. I have performed for nearly 1000 corporate groups as well as for Cruises, Colleges, Churches and Fundraisers.

Show Length: 60 minutes (or less)

Topics: family life, parenthood, hunting, technology, growing up, farming and marriage.

Audience: I prefer hard working / fun loving crowds. Recent groups included Cattlemen's Associations, Chambers of Commerce, Mortgage Bankers, Internet Technology Developers and various Fund Raisers.

2) MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH

This combination speech/presentation uses examples from the Andy Griffith show to introduce various topics. It's really upbeat and you don't have to be a Mayberry fan to play along. I relate various points through a combination of current events, historical examples, teachable moments and humor.

Program Length: 30, 45 or 60 minutes

Topics:

Delegating Authority (How to Deputize)

Keep Small Problems Small (Nip it in the Bud)

Dealing with Distractions (Who is your Ernest T?)


Time Management Strategies (Don't be a Goober)

Think Before you Speak (Keep your Bullet in your Pocket)

Customer Relationship Building (Call the Man)

Audience: Connects on all levels, from entry level employees to managers and division leaders. There are many points in this fun speech that steer you back to doing "what's right".


3) BARNEY FIFE IMPERSONATOR


As Fife I can help handing out awards, as security in the parking lot, or checking ID's at the door. Have your boss or co-workers arrested in the middle of a presentation for violation of "Penal Code 24-7-365 rambling without a point". Need to increase traffic to your trade show booth or grand opening? Just add Fife!

Program Length: As short as 5 minutes at a company event, or hourly at trade shows

Audience: Connects on all levels – everybody loves Fife!



4) SPOOF SPEAKER – IMPOSTER SPEAKER


You introduce me as a guest speaker. I start as if I have a speech prepared for your group, but I have misplaced it. Watch the comedy unfold as your guests try to figure out if I know what I'm talking about!

Show Length: Works best as a 5-10 minute lead in to my stand-up routine.

Topics: You give me the theme and I'll run with it!

Audience: Connects on all levels. Works especially well as part of a conference where workers are expecting speaker after speaker …
