Dale Irvin Biography

Dale Irvin is known as "The Professional Summarizer," a unique title that underscores his special role at events. He attentively absorbs every aspect of the meeting he attends, from every word spoken by speakers to every detail of the event itself. Throughout the day, he crafts and delivers comedy monologues that summarize the event in real time. His adeptness at blending insight with humor is what sets him apart, much like Billy Crystal's esteemed role at the Academy Awards.

In addition to his role as a summarizer, Irvin is a prolific author with eight books to his name, including titles such as "Insurance As A Second Language" and "Laughter Doesn't Hurt." These works showcase his ability to infuse humor into topics as dry as insurance, promoting concepts like laughter therapy and "Comedy Vitamins" to improve daily life. His written and spoken content extends beyond books, as he produces "The Friday Funnies," a weekly digest of unusual news, and "Funny Business Videos," which serves the insurance industry with a humorous twist.

Irvin's credentials include more than 100 national television appearances, with features on networks like Showtime, MTV, A&E, HBO, and even "The Oprah Winfrey Show." He has shared the stage with notable personalities such as Jay Leno, Paul Anka, The Four Tops, and The Temptations. Recognized by the National Speakers Association, Irvin has received two of the highest awards in professional speaking: the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) in 1988, and the Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE) in 1995, making him one of a select few to hold both accolades. His innovative presentations and longstanding dedication to the art of speaking make him a distinguished figure in this field.
