Robert Strong, The Comedy Magician has been crisscrossing the world since 1985 entertaining audiences large and small, young and old, formal and casual, and everything in between! Twice voted San Francisco's 'Best Comedian', Robert has appeared on every major television network, in more than 40 different countries, in all 50 states, and twice at the White House. Inspired by TED, Robert launched a speaker series, Comedy Talks, in 2010 that celebrates the lives and careers of comedy legends.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
