Dennis Du Pont

Laugh riot is one way to put it. Perpetual motion is another. But impactful is the right term to use when looking for a definition to describe Dennis Du Pont. 

Working in sales, marketing and management for 25 years, Dennis has the bloody nose to prove he knows more than just funny. He knows success! Combine that with 15 years on stage as a national speaker and performer and your people will benefit from a fusion of knowledge and practical experience; creating a process of learning that is not only positive, fun and unique, but most importantly effective, in helping to hit your goals and beyond.

Starting in radio and television advertising in 1981, Dennis' evolutionary path has taken him through the doors of corporations as large as over 100,000 people, and as intimate as, you guessed it, one. He knows the nuance of big business, but also understands the needs of a local company looking to grow. This has allowed Dennis to size up and hone in on the strengths and weaknesses of the enterprise he is consulting with in order to help them create the right formula for success. 

Starting in the clubs in 1986, then joining nationally renowned ComedySportz in 1997, Dennis has developed his craft as an improv specialist, performing in over 1,200 shows and counting. He has made folks laugh from coast to coast, as well as abroad, including the Middle East (and if you can make someone laugh there, well...). His infectious spirit, uproarious ad-libs, and pinpoint, poignant, profitable message have endeared him to companies and individuals alike, helping them to find the fun in what they do – and to find their advantage. 

With an upbeat style that allows people to feel abundantly comfortable, Dennis creates an environment in which people are safe to step out of their bubble and truly explore how to grow as a professional.

The Improv Show – The Stand-Up Show

In finding the right "act" for your annual conference, quarterly meeting, client dinner, or in-house retreat, you walk a fine line. You want funny, but need to avoid: dirty, bland, off-color, humdrum, vulgar, banal, coarse, flavorless, watered-down entertainment. Good luck with that. There aren't a lot of us out here that provide targeted and topical talent with tact.  Fortunately you have landed on the right spot.  In a group of 25, or 2,500, you can count on Dennis to bring the laughs in a keynote, stand-up or emcee role.  Or hire out his LOL Improv Troupe, an energetic and invigorating experience where your people drive the funny.  Any choice will leave your people laughing around the 'water cooler' for months to come.  Comedy at its most pure form, this show can provide an outstanding reward or distraction.  It also serves as a great marketing or branding tool.
