Program Topic: “Comedy Speech: “If a New Yorker Can Make it in Texas, Imagine What You Can Do!”
Find out why more than a thousand audiences have loved this wonderful talk. Dave’s most popular story about how he struggled to fit into Texas is a tale that everyone can relate to and find a piece of themselves in. At first, he didn’t know if chicken-fried steak was chicken or steak. He didn’t know which was the front end of a cowboy hat. He didn’t even know who Garth Brooks was.
But he overcame his struggle – thanks to a Texas dog who hated him and the woman of his dreams who loved him. You’ll laugh, then cry – and in the end, the message of fitting into any new environment, new job or any new and challenging situation is a story of laughter and inspiration that audiences everywhere describe as truly memorable.
