Rex Havens

For over 20 years, Rex Havens has entertained and educated audiences around the world (50 states, 15 countries, and counting) with his insightful observations about the hilarious miscommunications that populate our personal lives. He offers two entertainment-based shows, “Everything I Needed to Know, I Learned From My Wife” and “Women & Children First," a theater-style show. After decades of working with companies of every size in literally every industry, Havens has also created the defining presentation on how to build and maintain successful interpersonal relationships at work as well, both manager-to-employee and colleague-to-colleague: One Big Happy Family!

Havens has been delighting comedy audiences in world-famous comedy clubs like The Improv, Catch-A-Rising Star, Funny Bones, and Zanies; on television for Showtime, Comedy Central, and Comic Relief; on radio with Bob & Tom, and NPR; cruise ships worldwide, and corporate clients including GM, American Express, Texaco, 3M, Coca-Cola, IBM, Toshiba, Lowe’s, Johnson & Johnson, Ameritech, Proctor & Gamble, State Farm, Quaker Oats, Verizon and the IRS (“Working for the IRS is the only sure way to get money from them.”), and numerous non-profit and charitable organizations, such as St. Jude’s and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

A former college professor who unusually transitioned to the standup comedy stage in the ’80s, Havens has always believed that laughter is the best defense against a confusing and challenging world. His take on marriage and family has propelled him to performances in all 50 states and around the world, including London, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Bermuda, Montreal, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Aruba, Rome, and Cannes.
