At our Backstage at the Geffen annual fundraiser, we’re always trying to find fresh ways to surprise and excite our audience. This year, we announced early in the program that we may have to interrupt the show for a surprise guest.  Later in the evening, I practically interrupted Carol Burnett who was telling a story on stage, to announce that our special guest had arrived.  We had two “secret service” men walk up the aisles and as soon as Reggie walked on stage, the audience gasped and stood to their feet.  Perhaps because we were living within the world of theater where anything can happen, or perhaps because there are very few good reasons to interrupt Carol Burnett, I think most audience members believed it was actually the President for a couple of minutes.  Then the crowd dissolved into laughter when they got the joke, and it set a phenomenal tone for the rest of evening.

We booked Reggie Brown to appear at a lunch during ADPI's two day Annual Conference in Chicago because he presents a remarkable physical resemblance to President Obama and has mastered the President's inflections and mannerisms.  We weren't able to book the real Obama, so Reggie is the next best thing.

He will make a surprise entrance, and we expect that he will fool a lot of the audience into believing, at least for a moment, that President Obama has returned to Chicago and dropped in to address our members. Even when they figure Reggie is not really Barrack, they will still be shocked at the resemblance. But more significantly, Reggie has developed a routine with some very funny material, and he is said to be very good in mixing with the crowd and posing for individual photos after his bit. Plus we have been able to work with his writers to customize his lines to our organization and poke fun at some of our members.

A successful trade association meeting needs to have lighter moments interspersed with the substantive program. All work and no fun makes for a rather boring business meeting. We think Reggie Brown will provide the necessary humor to keep all attendees interested and engaged. This is a key element of creating a unique meeting experience that our members will recall positively . . . especially a year from now when they are deciding whether or not to attend our 2010 conference.

Reggie was a huge hit! He customized his performance for our organization and truly was the highlight of our opening ceremony". His appearance packed a "WOW" factor and his spot on impersonation and humor was unforgettable.
