We hired Brian for a leadership/networking meeting of about 30 people in Chandler. Brian was on time, polite, engaging, funny and got the crowd on their feet and interacting while havinga great time. I would highly recommend Brian for a team-building activity at a corporate event.

Brian was very flexible, honest, fun and imaginative. Our group was a bunch of grandparents raising grandchildren and they were on a retreat away from the kids. They enjoyed this time with the comedians and there were smiles all around. I don't think there was a single moment where they were not laughing. We enjoyed the fact that it was inventive and included a lot of audience participation. They were right on target with the topics they talked about with the audience.
We would definitely recommend him!.

Brian was great with creating characters and voices to compliment his material. Very funny and definitely a varied show that had me quoting him on the way home!

Brian is a charming and charismatic performer ...and HYSTERICALLY funny! His impressions are on the money and his humor is fresh! I have had the opportunity to work with Brian in several capacities - and I've been in his audiences countless times. He is always a winner and a joy to be around. Brian is a "stand up" guy - pun intended :).

About
Born and raised in Glendale, Arizona, one would think that Brian would have a dry sense of humor…but seriously folks, it’s Arizona, he’s just trying not to be deported. Using physicality, impression, music and improvisation, Brian is one of the hottest comedians on the rise in the Southwest.
Having spent 20 years as an award-winning director, Brian stepped away from the camera to begin his career in comedy. He quickly found success in radio as the host of his own show, The BS Factor with Brian and Stephanie on the All Comedy Radio network. Brian gained national recognition when many of his sketches were featured on National Lampoon Radio on XM/Sirius.
For several years now, Brian has trained and performed with various improv troupes, including The Improvonauts that he co-found with comedian Mike James. As Brian’s comedy career gained momentum, stand up comedy seemed inevitable.
Brian's impressions, knowledge of pop culture and unique delivery style have made him an audience favorite. It doesn't matter what he's talking about, Brian puts a smile on everybody's face!
Brian is married with two children...and a dog named Turbo.
