1: Comedian 2: Motivational Speech 3: Barney Fife Impersonator 4: Spoof Speaker

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 …

• Rik was EXCELLENT!! Usually our Christmas party is kind of HO HUM. But this year, with Barney and Rik it was a complete success. Barney added humor and nostalgia. When Rik came on, the party started. He was funny, professional and really got the crowd going. His comedy was clean and FUNNY!! I will definately recommend Rik to everyone looking for a comedian to enhance their party. Thank you to Rik for a wonderful Christmas Party!! -- Patricia R, Houston, TX, 12/6/2008
• Rik was a great all-around performer: his Barney Fife impersonation helped get the crowd warmed up, and his comedy performance was funny, witty, and kept the crowd laughing. We got tremendous positive feedback from all who attended our event. We'll hire him again for sure. Thanks! Christa Black MOPS of WHAG -- Christa B, San Antonio, TX, 5/4/2008
• Rik was gracious, accomodating and did exactly what he said he would. It was a tough weekend because of Hurricane Ike but he made it all work. This was a birthday party for my wife and the "audience" was mixed....including a number of small (2 and under) children. He worked them all into the routine and had fun. Our guests liked him a lot and I received lots of positive feedback on his performance both as Barney and his "stand up" comedy. I'm glad I found him and would certainly recommend him to others. -- Kenneth G, Austin, TX, 9/13/2008
• Rik was great. Everyone had a great time. His Barney Fife impersonation was great too. We would definitely have him back if we have another meeting. -- Leah T, Houston, TX, 3/24/2008
• We hired Rik for a company service award banquet. We had a much smaller crowd than expected, but he handled it very well. Barney was a big hit! He worked the crowd into his act, and he kept everyone in stitches! A very refreshing, funny performance! I received many good reports from the attendees that evening and the next day. I highly recommend Rik. -- Sue M, Lake Charles, LA, 6/25/2008
