Amy Gordon

NY, US
Unify and inspire your team to greatness with backstage tricks and stories from the road brought to you by an internationally acclaimed comedian, singer and variety entertainer.

Amy Gordon is a masterful entertainer and innovative thinker with the ability to deftly shift gears to surprise and energize audiences. From vaudeville stock, classical training, and an endless international tour circuit, Hollywood Reporter called her, "the funniest comedian you've never heard of." Direct from her start turns anchoring the award-winning, Off-Broadway show, La Soirée, and a critically acclaimed world tour of her daredevil solo show, Entershamement, in New York, LA, and Seattle, Edinburgh, London, Adelaide, Melbourne, Vienna and further afield across Europe and parts of Africa. "Expert and inspired," (The New York Times) Gordon is equal parts speaker, comedian, singer, and virtuosic clown – she gleefully defies shame and categorization.

CLOWN BRAIN
Why would you go to a clown for business acumen? You wouldn't! But you'd be surprised at how much insight an internationally acclaimed, self-producing writer and performer of human foible can offer. Contemporary corporate culture is riddled with judgment, competition, and perfectionism. These elements can make or break your company or community. With her signature charming intellect and disarming humor, Gordon presents Clown Brain, an excellent guide for creative businesses and entrepreneurs into ingenious problem solving, risk management, the opportunity of failure, the secrets of body language, diversity and inter-generational communication, and developing honest human connection with customers, clients, and team members.

Other credits include 2 different presentations at Toronto's ideaCity (think: Canadian TED - she was asked back as a crowd favorite for the 10 year anniversary of the think tank), her own shows at Broadway's New Victory (Writer/Director/Lead in AntiGravity's Crash Test Dummies, and Daredevil Opera Company's Cirkus Inferno), Sydney Opera House, The Kennedy Center, Adelaide International Festival, Montreal's Just for Laughs, Taipei Arts Festival, Dance Theatre Workshop, and Symphony Space.  She works regularly across Europe, and has made numerous appearances on British, French, German and Austrian TV; as the subject of comedy specials, documentaries, and general intrigue.
