Corporate Comedy, Corporate Entertainment, Bill Kirchenbauer

Bill Kirchenbauer is the ultimate performer for live corporate events and stand up comedy shows. Corporate comedy entertainment and being master of ceremony are some of his specialties. His experience with making people laugh goes back to his early childhood. Rumor has it that he sold out sandboxes across the country with his pre-pubescent standup routine. While others studied marketing strategy, Kirchenbauer studied mime, ventriloquism, and improvisation, leading up to his winning the first Stand Up Competition in Los Angeles in 1978. Soon after that victory, Kirchenbauer appeared on Late Night With David Letterman and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Carson liked Kirchenbauer so much he booked him for 10 more appearances. It wasn't long until the television and film industry got wind of this tornado of talent and snatched him up. He proved to be a formidable acting talent, as well. He has appeared in many film projects, including Airplane, National Lampoon, and Stoogemania, as well as regular starring roles on television series including Fernwood Tonight, Mork & Mindy, Night Court, and Totally Hidden Video. It was during the popular series Growing Pains, that ABC executives decided it was time for Kirchenbauer to have his own television show, and created Just the Ten of Us. It proved to be a ratings hit, and Kirchenbauer is known worldwide as the irascible, but lovable, "Coach Lubbock". The show is currently seen in many foreign countries, as well as in the United States on the USA Network. Kirchenbauer's true love has always been the stage - making live audiences convulse with laughter. After appearances on The Arsenio Hall Show, Comic Strip Live, Evening at the Improv, and hosting Into the Night, Kirchenbauer made his decision to hit the road. Currently, Bill is appearing in the new Rob Reiner/Universal pictures Release, "THE STORY OF US" along with Bruce Willis and Michelle Pheiffer, and can be seen in the soon to be released Eric Roberts feature, "THE PRESIDENT". Mercedes/Benzs' newest TV campaign also features Bill. His ability to sell out comedy clubs throughout the country has made him a much sought-after entertainer. But it is Kirchenbauer's flexibility that makes him even more desirable. He is one of the few comedians who does well in any situation, with any audience. He recently headlined aboard the Royal Caribbean Cruise lines. The response was so great he ranked No. 2 in passenger requests (No. 1, of course, was motion sickness pills). One of Kirchenbauer's best talents is the ability to adapt to any entertainment situation. He has an appeal to people of all types and ages -- whether it's serving as master of ceremonies for award presentations, headlining roasts for corporate and private functions, or just as an invited guest to add a breath of fresh comedy air to a dull business meeting, Kirchenbauer seems to be comfortable anywhere he is invited.

Bill is great! I remember his TV Show and I have seen him live several times. BIG THUMBS UP. See him in person if you can.

Saw him in Las Vegas in 1991. He was doing stuff from the Gallagher Special and nobody was hardly laughing. He mentioned how tough the house was. I know better than to make myself obvious to a comedian, but I told him everybody was familiar with what he was doing. I said "Like next you'll do the Matterhorn Ride with your shoe and a glass of water, then say "Look where my tie points!" He said, "Ok, then..." and went on to do 30 minutes of new stuff and KILLED! Great act.... Great guy.

I've done shows with Bill and he is easily and by far one of the funniest comedians EVER! I've been a fan of his since his "Tony Rolletti" days on "Fernwood Tonite" and that character is to me the best lounge singer parody I've ever seen, even funnier than Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton character and I'm a huge fan of Andy. Best to you, Bill and keep on rockin' the rooms!
