Political Humorist, Will Roberts Cirque du Soleil Motivational Speaker from New York City, NY

Will Roberts has been called the modern-day Will Rogers. In the 1920-30's, Will Rogers was known as the cowboy philosopher. Spinning his rope on the Ziegfeld Follies' stage and spinning the day's news events on radios and in newspapers nationwide. With no malice in his jokes, he made the people of the world think a little differently. Will Rogers is an American icon and the man from which Will Roberts draws inspiration. With a similar path to his life, Will Roberts spun his rope by night on the Cirque du Soleil stage on the Las Vegas Strip, and by day comments on culture and politics in synidcated columns and radio shows across the world. His wit and wisdom are needed now more than ever. He unites folks instead of dividing them, encourages humor and thoughtful consideration rather than mean-spiritedness. No one is free from a good-hearted critique, but the main goal is to forge a stronger America and celebrate what makes this nation great.
