Keith was rated no. 1 speaker after our festival among other +70 guests from all over the world. A clear sign that the crowd really enjoyed the way he helped us in entertaining the delegates and keeping up the good vibe. Is not easy to make a international festival about technology and digital marketing not interesting only but funny, too. I don't know how… but Keith did it!.
Tryg Insurance have booked Keith Farnan on two occasions, and we are very happy with his performances. With energy and great humour, he managed to entertain a group of 130 managers with different nationalities and background. He engaged the audience in the show and made everyone laugh out loud. His performance was the talk of the evening, and we received a lot of positive feedback from our managers afterwards. We highly recommend Keith Farnan to other corporate shows, and we are planning to book him again.
