About Rodney Marks
Rodney Marks is Australia's (mis-)leading corporate comedian. He is an impersonator, a humorist and a political satirist. He combines these styles as a corporate entertainer within the vehicle of the comic hoax.
As a corporate impostor, he has performed his hoaxes for many business, government and non-profit groups over the past two decades. Rodney has presented his tailored corporate entertainment all over Australia, and has had more than 30 international tours.
He has given over 2,500 performances and created over 300 characters. What does Rodney do, and what is a comic hoax? During the hoax Rodney will satirise three aspects of your audience’s identity: the industry or industries represented are comically analysed, the organisation or organisations present are humorously caricatured, and about a dozen individuals are gently roasted.
Rodney arrives at your event in character, and mingles with attendees. If it is a conference, he will attend a seminar, and ask a question; if it is a dinner, he will attend pre-dinner drinks and work the room.
This mixing establishes the credibility of Rodney’s comic character. At some agreed point, often advertised in the program, he will be called to a lectern to deliver a keynote address.
During the delivery of this 20 to 45 minute presentation, audience members slowly realise that they have been had. At the conclusion of the speech, the performance continues with a question and answer session.
These questions are not set up. Those in the know about the hoax are observers. This time gives funny people in the group a chance to have some revenge.
