Tim O'Shea has been a corporate comedian and humor writer for radio, stage and industrial video productions since 1990.

Described as "absolutely hilarious" again and again by corporate audiences across a broad range of industries, Kris O’Shea’s on-stage appeal draws on a broad spectrum of experience. Since 1991, she has honed her comedic talents by training with The Second City, performing at the legendary Esther’s Follies in Austin, Texas and studying at the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre in northern California.

Tim and Kris O’Shea are both familiar with the fast pace of the working world. They are former corporate professionals in sales, training and HR. Having attended many company meetings and conferences, they know what it’s like to have to sit and listen to someone talk on stage. They found that the speakers they enjoyed the most were the ones who made their presentations not only informative, but also fun and entertaining. Seeing a need for this kind of laughter and engagement at corporate events, they created their programs based on their own experiences in the office environment. Now, Tim and Kris work full time as speakers and entertainers at meetings and conventions internationally.

Combining their backgrounds as humor writers and business professionals, the O’Sheas are now internationally recognized keynote speakers, working exclusively at corporate events. They present their unique blend of business humor programs for such organizations as McDonald’s, General Motors, American Family Insurance, State Farm, Nordstrom, Hewlett-Packard, Panasonic, Coors/Molson and Kaiser Permanente.

As humorous keynote speakers, the O’Sheas’ background of performance talent and business sense produces a genuine understanding of their audiences and laughter that lasts.
