Keynote: THE WATER COOLERS

For nearly 15 years, THE WATER COOLERS have entertained audiences around the world, as far reaching as Singapore and Australia, with their high energy, uncommonly funny, authentic take on work and life. Smart phones, conference calls, kids, co- workers, and travel are just a few of the topics this group of top NYC talent turns into hilarious sketch comedy and song. They are one of the few acts to win Event Solutions magazine's Spotlight Awards for Entertainment of the Year multiple times.

In addition to their long-standing place as a top comedy act in the events world, they've recently added a keynote presentation to their offerings. Using their unique mix of music and comedy combined with real-world practical tips, their laugh-out-loud keynote, "Getting to Great Performance" has been described as engaging, motivational, amazing, relevant, on point, unforgettable, and brilliant by audience members.

THE WATER COOLERS writing team is a mix of professional comedy writers and people working in the "real world" and headed up by one of the creators of New York's longest running comedy hit ever, TONY 'N TINA'S WEDDING.

The performing cast is made up of New York professionals with resumes including top comedy clubs like Igby's, the Improv, the Comic Strip, and the Icehouse as well as Broadway productions of such shows as Gloria Estefan's "On Your Feet," "Jersey Boys," Carole King's "Beautiful," "Hair", "Pippin", "In The Heights ," "The Boy from Oz," with Hugh Jackman, "Wicked," "Rock of Ages," "Legally Blonde", "The Adams Family," "Chicago," "Hair", "Pippin", "In The Heights ," "Les Miserables," "Mamma Mia," and many more.
