Glenn’s Story

Glenn Strange has always loved making people laugh. Yes, Strange is his real name. Even as far back as when he was in kindergarten. The five-year-olds thought he was hilarious. The teacher felt sorry for Glenn; he couldn’t help the way he looked. At age 6, the doctors recommended removing Glenn’s tonsils and adenoids. After that, things got better. Still looked funny, but the doctor was able to buy a new car.

All through elementary and junior high school Glenn struggled because he was extremely shy, lacked confidence, and didn’t make friends easily. When all the other kids were participating in group activities, like playing sports, and attending summer camp, Glenn was home watching variety and comedy TV programs.

Shortly after entering high school Glenn began noticing girls were different. Up until that time, the only differences Glenn had noticed were girls had longer hair. They were better spellers, and their bicycles had no bar across the top. Out of his nervousness to talk to girls, Glenn discovered he had a natural gift to make people laugh. He began using his humor to make new friends and gain self-confidence. The very thing that Glenn’s parents and teachers believed to be a problem, was, in fact, a blessing. Extreme shyness had caused Glenn to retreat to the safety and comfort of watching TV. He didn’t watch cartoons, cowboys, super heroes, sports, or any programs normal kids his age would watch. It was the funny stuff Glenn loved to watch. Programs with the masters of comedy like Red Skelton, Carol Burnett, Jack Benny, Andy Griffith, Lucille Ball, Phil Sylvers, Tennessee Ernie Ford, and Jackie Gleason. Like a sponge, Glenn’s young mind was soaking up comedy and humor skills. He was developing his sense of timing, his delivery, and learning just what makes people laugh. Unknowingly, Glenn was taking part in a TV correspondence comedy course.

After finishing school, Glenn went on to a normal job as a machine designer. Glenn loved his work and took his job seriously, and says the best part was, every day he had a captive audience with which to try his comedy. One day, a coworker returned from a family vacation at Disney World and gave Glenn a vanishing handkerchief magic trick. It didn’t take Glenn long to figure out that magic was the tool he needed to have a reason to stand in front of crowds and be funny. It only took about 3 hours and twenty dollars to become a magician. That’s how long it took him to locate and drive to a nearby magic shop, then purchase twenty dollars of magic.

Today Glenn travels the United States presenting his programs to corporations, churches, associations, and theaters. Programs that contain comedy, audience interaction, magic, recorded music, humorous stories, and an inspirational message. Audience members enjoy participating in situation comedy routines and becoming an important part of the program. Glenn says, “Many of today’s comedy entertainer’s abuse or make fun of their audience members to get cheap laughs. I’ve worked years developing a one-of-a-kind quality program that does not embarrass or make fun of any audience member. My programs are all about the audience’s feelings. I’m there to help them have a great fun time laughing with their friends, forget their everyday problems, feel good about their life, and be happy they attended.”

Glenn’s skills and his originality have won him numerous comedy competition awards throughout the United States. He is a past recipient of the “Member of the Year Award” presented by the National Speakers Association, Carolinas Chapter. He’s past recipient of the “South Carolina Magician of the Year Award”. He’s a past recipient of the “Magician of the Year Award” voted on by members of the “International Brotherhood of Magicians, Ring 63”. Glenn won first place honors in the “10th Annual Atlanta Harvest of Magic” competition. Before flat screen TV’s, took over the market place, Glenn was on TV more than once, but each time, the “Best Buy” managers would ask him to get down before he broke something. The restraining order expired last year.

So, if you would like your clients, members, friends, or fellow employees to praise you for being responsible for them having an “AWESOME FUN EXPERIENCE” Glenn’s program is your ticket.
