Justin Fennell
FL, US
It’s yarn-spinning stories, props, audience participation, funny music and stand-up comedy.
Everyone loves a good laugh. That's what you're guaranteed to experience when you hear JUSTIN N. FENNELL. (That's “fin” “nail”) Don't say his name too quick or it sounds like just an infidel!
It’s yarn-spinning stories, props, audience participation, funny music and stand-up comedy. The best part of it is that all of his material is clean and appropriate. Fennell says, “you know, it just doesn't have to be filthy to be funny.” His performances are rated “E” for everyone!
Fennell’s professional experience includes working as the Director of Institutional Advancement of a private college in Florida and serving as an Associate Pastor. He has toured professionally for over 20 years as a humorist speaking primarily to non-profit Christ-centered organizations.
From the moment Justin hits the stage you know you are in for more than just another “talking head” guest speaker. Justin takes you on a hilarious journey through the ordinaries of life. He specializes in clean, “slice-of-life” humor that sees “the funny” in everyday situations, especially those involving the family. “The family is still our most important institution,” say Fennell. “We can all identify with the family in some way or another.”
It’s not cookie-cutter comedy. If you just wanted your audience to laugh, you'd show Seinfeld re-runs! Organizations are looking for a speaker who will connect with their audience. Fennell says, “I try not to get locked into certain routines and themes that may be irrelevant to the group I am called to address.” Fennell tailors each performance uniquely to the audience leaving them entertained, informed and encouraged. “I call it “EDUTAINMENT...a guaranteed laugh ‘n learn experience.”
Fennell has quietly become one of the top fundraising consultants and speakers in America. With most of his career in development, he recognizes key components of a successful fund-raising event. Some of these keys include: friend-raising, pace, and the pull. (If you have to ask what “the pull” is, then you haven’t been involved in raising the kind of funds Justin is known for raising.) Fennell comments, “There are many people in this wonderful world with resources available to advance noble causes. My goal is to help the gatekeepers of these resources feel confident that the cause is just and the time is now. In a way fund raising is a form of sales, but I believe a successful campaign is more than nickels and numbers. A well-developed appeal culminates in the marriage of the donor with the organization’s mission to be more than just a contributor but a partner engaged in the realization of a dream becoming reality.”
Fennell doesn't just talk about giving…he’s a real giver as well. Justin is significantly involved in humanitarian relief in 23 developing countries with an organization called Mission of Mercy. He knows first-hand the plight of the homeless and impoverished. Fennell says, “I've fed starving children and cuddled infants in their struggle with AIDS. I know first hand the need for clothing, housing, food and education to many of our world’s poor. With Mission of Mercy, I am actively involved in the transformational change of over 100,000 children each day!”
Fennell (since 1962) resides in Lakeland, Florida. His wife’s name is Dretha and they have two sons, Nathaniel and Zachary, and a daughter, Anna Marie. His idea of a good time is sittin’ back in a rocking chair on the front porch of the house with a handful of Tom’s salted peanuts and a “belly-washer” R.C. Cola.
