Michael Chain
Michael Chain has been in the entertainment business for so many years some of his early co-workers were Cro-Magnons. WGA, AFTRA, SAG, AFM, NRA... Chain is a Peabody Award winning, Emmy-nominated screenwriter (Punky Brewster, Rambo, Police Academy, Chuck Norris, Villa Alegre), script doctor, comedy writer, author, stage, screen, radio, commercial and voice-over actor (Transformers, LBJ, Blade Runner, McDonald's, Ford, Sears, Budweiser) MC, game show host, director, producer, rock star (the Knack), singer, songwriter, composer, arranger, musician, lecturer, coach, political consultant, improv master, and creator of Spontaneous Comedy and the 23 Comedy Commandments for CHAIN COMEDY.
Michael Chain is a celebrity himself. After working with people like Bob Hope, MiltonBerle, Frank Sinatra, Robin Williams, Rodney Dangerfield, Fred Willard, Dyan Canon,Soupy Sales, Harvey Korman, and John Ritter, Michael was prodded by his industry pals to teach writing, acting, and comedy workshops. Too busy to do all that as a working pro, Chain created Spontaneous Comedy and came up with his 23 Comedy Commandments to teach all three at once. Working actors, writers, and comics flocked to his workshop. It was so much fun some non-industry spectators wanted to get in on the act and did. The big surprise was that the same rules that applied to Spontaneous Comedy worked great for them in sales and business too. People were successfully using CHAIN COMEDY for commerce. The cunning capitalists!
CHAIN COMEDY is all about being funny on the fly and Michael and his 23 Comedy Commandments will show you how to do it. Why be the guy who laments "I wish I'd said that!" when you could be the one who did. Don't let the bully at the beach kick sand in your face. Drop him with a solid punchline. Chain will show you how whether you're an actor, writer, comic, working stiff, corporate mogul, or solar panel salesman.
CHAIN COMEDY's one, two, or three-day workshops will teach you how to do it. Michael will work with you hands-on. Sitting in your chair won't get you there! Comedy works on the job or at play, in the boardroom or the bedroom, up on the stage or up on the scaffold. And a sense of humor rates number one in relationship surveys. Remember, everybody loves a clown, unless the clown is John Wayne Gacy.
Everyone is an actor, writer, and comic. Your first major performance was when you convinced your mother you were too sick for school, and your more recent "no officer, I have no idea why you pulled me over" was certainly worthy of Oscar consideration. Your childhood story about the dog knocking over the lamp in the living room was a masterful piece of fiction, and the rude noises you made when your geometry teacher had her back turned was comedic genius.
CHAIN COMEDY will get you where you want to go. You've seen CHAIN COMEDY alumni on television, in films, at comedy clubs, in the workplace, corporate offices, and delivering pizzas. Now you can do it too. Everybody has a funny bone. Use it or lose it. Genghis Kahn once said to a captured enemy soldier, "You a funny guy. I kill you last!"
Put CHAIN COMEDY to work in business! We know it works for actors, writers, and comics, but it's also awesome for business. Make every board or client meeting, sales pitch, presentation, or hard-sell focused, fun, and punctuated with easy laughter when you need to lighten things up. Use your Spontaneous Comedy skills to listen, go with the flow, deflect any negatives, and shape the dialogue to fit your client on the fly. CHAIN COMEDY also does a bang up job of fostering team work on corporate retreats. Everything comes down to communication. Make it funny and make some money.
And if you need music – Michael Chain's Band (www.michaelchain.com) is an all-star group with players you've heard on hits from Billy Joel, and Bob Seger to Faith Hill, and Shania Twain. Michael's music is played on rock, country, and R&B radio worldwide, and his original songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as BJ Thomas, Claudine Longet, Wayne Newton, LeRoy VanDyke, Eric Anderson, Vicki Lawrence, John Davidson, Joyce Cobb, the Mills Brothers, and the Knack.
