What to Expect
First three words that come to mind when hiring Lou Santini? "Polished". "Prepared". "Professional".
Lou is FUNNY! Quick witted. A crowd pleaser and GREAT with crowd work. Sticks to the "rules of the room" (clean? "anything goes"?)
VERY experienced as an Event Emcee ("straight announcing", with the ability to think on his feet and add levity, if needed). THOUSANDS of live events hosted (corporate, private, college, military). Universal material.
Well traveled. Well spoken. Approaching four decades of public speaking (radio broadcasting, live events, standup comedy, voice-overs, etc.)
Lou Santini is the right choice. He dots the "i"s and crosses the "t"s when it comes to his preparation and asking the client the right questions. Lou Santini is all about building relationships.

Additional Booking Notes
I'm easy! Good sound amplification, good lighting, and some kind of "separation" (stage/sectioned area) is all I need! Travel arrangements, lodging, per diem, meals, etc., can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Set List
My material ranges from "squeaky clean"/corporate clean, all the way to "anything goes". I've played crowds of 12 on a Wednesday afternoon in a corporate setting to up to 20,000 at concerts and biker rallies. With my range of material and 38 years experience, I can adapt to crowds as needed. I've hosted corporate events with "straight announcing" for conventions, summits, and conferences, as well as "off stage" announcing, and I've performed as long as 2 hours and 10 minutes when the opening act failed to show! :-)
Influences & Inspiration
My "Mount Rushmore" is Garry Shandling, George Carlin, Bill Cosby, and Steve Martin, but current favorites include, Brian Regan, Bill Burr (I get many comparisons to him when I'm allowed to "let it rip"), Gary Gulman...just to name a few.
Setup Requirements
Microphone, amplification, lighting, and a stage where all can see/hear me. Small table/bar stool for a water. I'm easy!
