Craig Karges, CSP, CPAE

“Thank you for your third OUTSTANDING performance for Bayer. Again you wowed my crowd, engaging their minds for the evening closing. Each time you presented with a dynamic style whether it’s 150 people or 750 people you have exceeded Bayer’s goals. We appreciated the customized element of your presentations when you close with our corporate message. Although I have had the privilege of seeing you 3 times - I am always awestruck. Thank you for making Bayer look good.”

“We recently had Craig Karges perform at a business seminar where most of the attendees were top-level executives who get to attend many such functions. When it comes to seeing speakers, business gurus and entertainers our audience has 'been there done that!' At least that was the case until they saw Craig Karges. To put it simply, Craig astounded, delighted and entertained our group with his unique performance. I would highly recommend Craig Karges to the event planner that is looking to find someone who is truly different... Craig engages the audience and enthralls them. The real magic involved is how good you will look for bringing Craig to your group.”

“A standing ovation is the highest praise that can be bestowed upon an entertainer and that is exactly what Craig received at the conclusion of his time with our group. It should be clearly stated that this recognition was given by a highly skeptical audience of financial advisors. A week later and staff members are still talking about their amazement at Craig’s abilities. Without doubt, Craig was the best, most compelling performer we have ever booked for our event. In addition, he is one of the most professional entertainers we have ever worked with. Craig took the time out of his busy schedule to get to know our team prior to the event. Certainly, that extra effort on his part paid huge dividends in providing a customized message for our audience and in relating so well with staff before, during and after the show. I cannot recommend Craig highly enough. Standing ovations are rare. But, I’m guessing Craig gets one every time he performs.”

“You were a hit, as usual! You did it again... another outstanding and unforgettable performance that amazed the top AT&T performers. It was great seeing you again and I enjoyed every moment of the show as well as the standing O you received. The audience was blown away and the subsequent buzz has not yet ceased. I desired entertainment, motivation and a business message. You went beyond the call and exceeded everyone’s expectations. I can’t thank you enough because you truly made me look like a hero. You are, hands down, one of the best I’ve had the pleasure to work with. You truly are awesome.”

“The conundrum is the same every year: how to entertain, energize and engage 3,000 employees amid a sea of executive speeches and Powerpoint presentations. So, I remembered a guy Paychex hired years ago. His was a unique act, bright and unexpected and our audience loved him! I remembered the one-of-a-kind talent, and the likable showman that really delighted our crowd. From the first reintroduction and phone call we knew we had our man. He listened intently when we described our event. We inquired if he would consider tailoring his performance. His enthusiasm crackled through the phone. Craig customized his show with clever script; he charmed and cajoled the attendees with spontaneous banter; even the hardest-nose cell phone and text addicts in the audience were fixed on him with dropped jaws! It appears to come easily, but after working with him pre-contract, through rehearsals and during the entire show, I think I have his number; he listens, he collaborates, he observes, probes for what matters to you, and focuses on that! In a business where entertainers are a mixed bag of copy-cat, out-priced, often oversold crap shoots Mr. Karges gives you a reason to believe again – in top talent, integrity in business dealings and well, in the extraordinary!”
