Bull Garlington is a damn good public speaker. He's an award-winning columnist, author, and popular speaker. His author appearances are more like an unholy mash-up of stand-up and performance art. Audiences laugh, cheer, and engage. His newest program is based on his most recent book, The Full English.

I tell very funny stories about being a parent, about traveling with kids, about being a stupid man, about growing up in a swamp, and about being married to the smartest person in the world (please don't tell her I said that).
Bull Garlington is an award-winning author and humor columnist whose work appears on blogs and in magazines across the U.S. He writes "Analog Attorney," and "Wine in Chicago," which features the wildly popular section, "Wine & Song."
Garlington's most recent book, The Full English, was Foreward Review's 2017 humor book of the year. His previous title, Death by Children, was humor book of the year in 2013.
Garlington's entertaining presentations include hilarious stories of abject failure in parenting and world travel. His business presentations include a short course on the nuts and bolts of writing a book, lessons in jump-starting creativity, terrible advice for work-life balance, and a presentation about viewing your parental journey and your children's life as intersecting paths of the hero.
His short story of getting an active shooter call from his son is equal parts deeply moving, inspiring, and explosively hilarious.
Visit his website for more details on all his available programs and to book him (through Gigsalad on his website) for your next event.
Garlington is a member of The National Newspaper Columnist Society, The Author's Guild, The Freelancer's Union, The Midwest Writer's Association, and The Greater Chicago Astrophysicists & Big Game Hunter's Music Appreciation Society.
I have a slide show, though I don't need to use it if your event does not warrant a set-up.
