Rodney Marks
CSP, Hall of Fame, MPA Harvard, MBA AGSM
NSW, AUSTRALIARodney Marks is a comedian, comic hoaxer and corporate impostor. He presents Hoaxes & Jokeses at business events.
He delivers tailored jokes, gentle roasts, post-truth waffle, corporate double-talk and doublespeak, and shaggy dog stories. See Rodney's website -- www.comedian.com.au -- for examples.
The main-stage component of Rodney's comedy lasts about 30 minutes, but can be 20 minutes to an hour, and is agreed upon beforehand. A breakfast or lunch comedy keynote is often 20 minutes, a comic hoax seminar is up to an hour, and an after-dinner humorous spoof is 30 to 45 minutes. These times include a Q&A session.
Rodney is a genuine fake expert. His comedy teases out distinctions between real experts and real quacks. He puts the tease into expertise.
Rodney's mock keynotes are the tip of the iceberg for each comedy performance. Frequently in character for four hours/half a day, often for a whole day, and sometimes for multiple days, Rodney's infiltration and embedment are unique.
Rodney's unique selling propositions:
(1) Infiltration and embedment: No other comedian anywhere in the world, performing in any language, is in character so deeply or for so long, as a corporate impostor. Each conversation and interaction is a small comedy performance, understood as such after the comic hoax is revealed, and remembered and talked about for years.
(2) Rodney is a corporate comedian. His comedy is clean; it uses management language to make fun of management language; it's informed; and it's unique for each audience.
(3) Oh yeah ... we almost forgot ... he's funny.
He has been artist-in-residence at Harvard University, and comedy professor-at-large at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.
