From an Olympic Gold Medallist to a French wine expert or your new American CEO, Australian corporate comedian, Graeme Bowman, can become any 'expert' you like, and fool any audience you care to provide. Just watch their faces as the 'expert's' credibility gets stretched to breaking point.
While a hoax speech is often used for pure comic entertainment, you can also use it to explore topical or controversial issues from different and unusual angles, and really play with the perceptions of your audience.
During an event such as a Product Launch, Gala Dinner, Awards Night or Special Event, a hoax speech can be combined with a Master of Ceremonies role, to create a Hoax MC.
A hoax can also be combined with a genuine lateral thinking keynote, through Graeme’s unique presentation, ‘Uncork your Creative Genie’.

"Magnificent job ... as Dr George Connor from the World Business

views the following day."
