Research indicates that corporate event planners have under 52 minutes to grab the audience’s attention. This statistic is hardly surprising when conference rooms full of glazed expressions and attendees checking text messages are par for the course.

Kraig Kleeman has been on both sides of the podium — both in the boardroom and in the event planning industry — and saw an unmet need for engaging in corporate conferences. Today, he calls on the power of rock ‘n’ roll to fight wandering thoughts and electronic distractions.

“The combination of music, movement, and messaging redefines engagement in the corporate world,” says Kleeman. “Rock ‘n’ roll’s raw energy shatters the mold of traditional keynotes, transforming ordinary speeches into electrifying performances. It captivates, inspires, and leaves audiences craving more.”

Kraig Kleeman’s journey from the boardroom to the stage

Kleeman broke into the tech space with a company that scaled from $0 to $30 million in sales in three years. After selling the successful business to a West Coast venture capital fund, he took time to write. When his new book got into the hands of sales and marketing thought leaders, they asked him to speak. 

“The next thing I knew, I was in front of ten and twenty thousand people,” recalls Kleeman. “These speaking engagements led to webcasts for tech companies like LinkedIn, DocuSign, and Salesforce centered on corporate communications.” 

As Kleeman strove to fuse informative content with an entertaining format, he saw the need for something entirely new. His team surveyed over 300 executives from Fortune 500 companies to discover their thoughts on live conferences. 

“We found that these senior-level executives typically attended two or more events each year,” Kleeman remembers. On the whole, they expressed displeasure with the number of keynotes, the lack of energy, and the standard conference format. 

“I had attended enough business conferences to be familiar with the format,” Kleeman explains. “That format is typically keynote, keynote, keynote, break, more keynotes, and networking to wrap it up. Some conferences are heavier on keynotes, others are heavier on breakout sessions, but all of them are difficult for the audience. Unless a rare speaker wowed the crowd, our surveys revealed that mingling was the high point.”

After that validation, Kleeman knew he was on the right track, so he set to work incorporating performing arts, theatrical performance, and music into the dry conference format. Even throughout his years in the world of entrepreneurship, he maintained a strong passion for music, theater, and the arts. When he needed talent, he had connections ready to help hand-pick improvisational actors, stand-up comedians, a great director, and a phenomenal band. 

This led to the launch of two unique brands: Kraig Kleeman Live, providing corporate comedy, and Rock the C-Suite, offering corporate music. “Messaging is best expressed through the performing arts,” Kleeman asserts. “If you can wrap corporate messaging into music and comedy, it becomes wonderfully entertaining and even stimulating.”

How Kraig Kleeman infuses the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll into speaking engagements.

What do you get when you combine Elon Musk and Mick Jagger? Among other things, you get an audience that pays attention. 

Once upon a time, PowerPoints were considered flashy, but today’s event attendees need more. Event planners are fighting information overload. Nearly 1 billion websites exist today, and the sum total of human knowledge doubles approximately every 13 months. Until the past century, this doubling happened only once in a hundred years.

People are bombarded by news, information, and data, and they don’t even have time to digest a fraction of the content. Despite this, impactful real-time experiences still break through.

Kleeman revolutionizes speaking engagements by infusing them with the pulsating energy of rock music, uplifting affirmations, and a jubilant atmosphere. His signature involves incorporating four vibrant “Energy Bumps” into each event, strategically positioned between keynote presentations. These three to five-minute Energy Bumps feature driving music and choreography.

Blending live entertainment with corporate and conference environments

Departing from the static conference formula makes way for a groundbreaking transformation. Kleeman Live redefines the conference experience by captivating attendees through meaningful interactions enriched with rock music and dance.

Traditional conference formats don’t fit today’s fast-paced world. When events overwhelm attendees with information, they forget almost all of it. However, they remember topics if they are given short, simple hooks. 

Kleeman hones in on vital messaging and packages it in unforgettable ways. His blend of entertainment, interaction, inspiration, and connection ensures attendees depart with enriched knowledge and revitalized purpose. 

Live music invigorates any event, but Kleeman’s team does not merely take the stage between keynotes as performers and entertainers. They collaborate with event planners to fuse music and messaging by crafting songs tailored to the event’s theme and objectives. As they embed event-specific messages, takeaways, and anecdotes into the lyrics of each song, they reinforce key content and achieve enduring impact.

“We customize everything we do for each individual audience,” Kleeman explains. “A performance from Rock the C-Suite mixes rock music from identifiable icons like Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones with lyrics spot on for the audience, conference producers, and vendors. Magic happens when we customize the lyrics of classic rock songs with keywords and topics the audience relates to. It enhances the entire day’s communication and improves understanding, retention, and engagement. The emotional resonance becomes palpable!”

Kraig Kleeman Live connects with the crowd

Kleeman breathes life into events by sustaining a vibrant atmosphere, elevating the energy level, and connecting with the audience. His natural charisma infuses excitement into every event, especially during dance sequences when the entire crowd is fully engaged and on their feet.

Kleeman points to a rock legend’s insight to highlight the crucial connection between musician and crowd. In an interview with NPR, David Bowie said, “It’s becoming more about the audience. So from my standpoint, being an artist, I want to see what the new construction is between artist and audience.” 

“We always draw attendees in,” Kleeman concludes. “For example, when someone in the audience has a birthday, our band sings a Beatles tune, and our dancers come out with sparklers and champagne. Those moments create a bond that takes corporate events and turns them into something that people are excited about.”

Artist and media personality Reemo Meerak just hit us with his comedic satire album Back To The Reemo, Vol.1 with a dope music bed and highlights by DJ Chase yesterday, and he leaves no stone unturned. From Loyalty, Hip Hop 50, and Media High Jinks, Reemo lets loose on his debut album project. While many are familiar with Reemo Meerak via social media and his podcast, The C.U.T.S. this is his first foray into making an actual recording and let me tell you IT WORKS!!!

In the album I learned we shared something in common, we both started our careers in media 11 years ago in 2012. For me, it was a year earlier as a citizen journalist but came to Hype in 2012 and that’s where my official calendar starts. One joint is particularly on point because, in these 11 years, my experience on the carpets, media rooms, and events has been one that has perplexed me as regards access and placement when Black media shows up. There was a time when showing up to a carpet or an event without a professional camera was a no-no and might get one invited off and out…but with the advent of social media things have changed, and ONCE AGAIN, Black media is suffering because of it. With that being said, my absolute favorite track on the project is Media High Jinks as it addresses the elephant in the room as regards the treatment of Black media…and why. It was cool to hear a perspective on a shared experience.

Reemo Meerak

Reemo Meerak says the quiet *ish out loud!

Overall, the commentary and observations from Reemo Meerak have a comedic tint while being at the same time scathing…and on point IMO. Thoroughly enjoyed the introduction to his perspectives on some of the things we as a community discuss daily…he says some of the quiet *ish out loud!!!

I could feel Reemo had so much more to say, with receipts, and I’m excited for Vol.2…it’s my genuine hope that he RIPS AZZ as if Robin, Steve, or Bernie had touched his spirit and I KNOW he has it in him!!! This volume whet the appetite! “Back To The Reemo, Vol.1” is available on your favorite DSPs.

Keep up with Reemo Meerak

This ain’t just another album, nahhhh, it’s a whole movement! I’ve been pourin’ my soul, my passion, and determination into the BRAND, and real talk into every single track!!!!. We’re takin’ it back to the roots where I would “Let Tha Rugersprayyyyy” on the airwaves to media platforms. The album touches on topics of the Independent and Mainstream entertainment industry scene, as well as a side of Reemo like never before!!!!

“Back To The Reemo” ain’t just a title, it’s a state of mind.

The HBO Original stand-up comedy special MARC MARON: FROM BLEAK TO DARK debuts SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2023 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. I really like his edginess…not that it matters to anyone but me!

Comedian and podcaster Marc Maron stars in his first-ever HBO comedy special filmed in front of a live audience at New York City’s Town Hall. Over the course of a hilarious and deeply personal hour, Maron explores such universal topics as getting older, antisemitism and faith, and the superiority of having cats over children – especially during the pandemic. The comedian also opens up about the loss of his partner in 2020 and reestablishing his complicated relationship with his father. Funny and fearless, MARC MARON: FROM BLEAK TO DARK showcases the comedian’s expertly layered cynicism as he deftly weaves humor and pathos into his signature style of storytelling.

The special is written and performed by Marc Maron; directed by Steven Feinartz; produced by Avalon; executive produced by David Martin, Kelly Van Valkenburg, and Marc Maron

About Marc Maron: Marc Maron has four hit stand-up comedy specials including “More Later” (2015) on Epix, and “Thinky Pain” (2013), “Marc Maron: Too Real” (2017) and “End Times Fun” (2020), on Netflix which was nominated for a 2021 Critics’ Choice Award. His landmark podcast “WTF with Marc Maron,” that launched in 2009 and receives approximately 100 million listens per year, has become a phenomenon in the podcasting space. Over the years, Marc has interviewed cultural icons such as former U.S. President Barack Obama, Keith Richards, Kate Winslet, and Robin Williams – which, earlier this year, became the first one-on-one podcast episode inducted into America’s National Recording Registry. Marc has starred in the Netflix comedy-drama series “Glow,” and his scripted series “Maron” which aired for four seasons on IFC. He’s had recent roles in films “Joker,” “Spenser Confidential,” “Sword of Trust,” “Stardust,” and the 2021 Aretha Franklin biopic, “Respect” alongside Jennifer Hudson. Marc also stars in the feature film, “To Leslie,” alongside Andrea Riseborough and Allison Janney, which premiered at SXSW and was released this past October. He portrayed Mr. Snake in the Dreamworks animated feature, “The Bad Guys,” alongside Sam Rockwell and Lex Luthor, in “DC League of Super-Pets,” alongside Dwayne Johnson, Keanu Reeves, and Kevin Hart.

The live-to-tape production will honor a blend of veteran comics who have paved the way and emerging social influencers who are carving a new lane. The migration from traditional stand-up comedy to social media stardom has shifted the comedic landscape leading to an explosion of creativity, content, and exposure for comedic artists.

“Comedy has undergone a significant evolution and has become more mainstream and widely consumed,” says Humor Mill Founder Frank Holder. “Despite the tireless efforts of comedians, the recognition they receive is not always commensurate with the hard work, resulting in only a select few becoming well-known names. The Humor Mill Comedy Awards aims to bring urban comedy to the forefront and give proper recognition by introducing new voices to the world and honoring those who have made lasting contributions.”

The Humor Mill network includes a Rolodex of outlets including its website, digital magazine, internet radio, and cable broadcast channels with a boasting reach of over 4 million households serving as a launchpad for iconic comedians in the early stages of their careers who are now dominating box office numbers and breaking records in TV and film. The urban platform has cultivated a landing spot to introduce audiences to Black Hollywood household names as well as newcomers providing laughter, healing, and comfort.

Scheduled to take place during the third week of Black History Month, the show aims to amplify the voices of the African-American diaspora, taking audiences through relatable, personal, and funny comedy, particularly at a time when Black culture and their stories are being told.

Ticket availability and additional details for the live-taping event will be later announced.

This week, iONE Digital’s One Yard platform – a one-stop-shop for all things related to Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs), premiered its latest content short, the refreshingly hilarious “HBC…U Got Jokes” in partnership with Xfinity. “HBC…U Got Jokes” is hosted by famed actor, writer, and comedian, Chris Spencer, and is a comedy series that scours the HBCU talent pool throughout the country to “find the funny!”

The goal is to find budding comics that are one joke, one call, and one performance away from taking their careers to the next level. “HBC…U Got Jokes” will provide a platform giving a much-needed boost to two emerging comics, Erik Terrell and Lele Mason. Chris Spencer, who will also mentor the participants, helps them sharpen their comedy skills, and get them ready for the grand finale… the live show.

HBC...U Got Jokes!

HBC…U Got Jokes!

“HBC…U Got Jokes” tracks the progress from the selection of the participants and their first meeting with the host to them performing their bit, the mentoring by the host, and of course the grand finale – a live show to close the short which will feature a culmination of the comedian’s work. The comics will take what they’ve learned from the mentorship and put it to the test on stage in front of a live audience.

This live comedy show will test the skills and preparation of the participants. “HBC…U Got Jokes’ ‘ was created and exists at the precipice of ushering more Black comedians into a traditionally marginalized industry – especially as it relates to mainstream Black comedy amplification, coverage, and visibility.

If you haven’t heard of Jk D Animator, you’ve probably seen one of his many animations that have taken the internet by storm. With the wave of new post pandemic content creators utilising social media to make a name for themselves, it can be hard to stand out, but from his unique art style to his cultural sense of humour, Jk manages to do just that.

After his first Drake, Lil Baby video went viral, he was able to grow his channel by creating a number of funny behind the scene studio parody skits, featuring artists such as J Cole, Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar to name a few. Now, with a current following of over 1.5 million across Instagram (163k), YouTube (425k), and TikTok (975k), he has gone on to create a new form of battle rap which many are describing as iconic for the culture. While rap beef has taken many forms over the years, the most notably being the recent ‘VERZUZ’ format that emerged out of the pandemic, Jk has taken an original approach, reimagining the concept in a novel and very interesting way.

His new format takes place in the form of a show known as Dragonflow Z, and with over 3 million views to date, the series is somehow able to fuse the best of hip hop with amazing high stakes action, story and comedy; leaving the viewer with a marvel level cinematic experience all in under 10 minutes. While fans of anime will also be satisfied as the series is heavily influenced by the genre, there are a number of fun easter eggs scattered throughout each episode that give the real hip hop and anime heads something extra special to enjoy.

With the main premise for the show following a mysterious grand master as he recruits the best rappers for his upcoming rap tournament of power, the series is setting up to present many of the legendary rap battles that a lot of people have been waiting for.

However, is Jk D Animator the future of Hip Hop Beef? Only time will tell but, as of this publication, the most recent episode titled The Royal Rumble featuring 2pac, Biggie, XXX Tentacion, Juice Wrld, and King Von has been hailed as one of the best fan-made fights currently trending on Youtube; and after creating one of the most original concepts to emerge in the hip hop space in years, it feels like it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing his work pop up on more major networks.

Daniel  Jean is a comedian, radio host, and social media influencer with 572k plus followers ( @DanielJean56 ) on Instagram.  He started his career in entertainment as a driver for celebrities in a Cadillac Escalade.  His colorful personality caught his famous clients’ attention. The entertainer started doing skits and music promotions in the same Cadillac Escalade he drove in

When the driver’s VIP clients started to give him opportunities, his videos took off.  Shortly after his video began doing numbers on the internet, Daniels was invited to co-host DJ Whoo Kid’s radio show  on SiriusXM.  He remained Whoo Kid’s co-host for several years.  During this time,  he interviewed some of the biggest names in the music industry such as:  Jack Harlow, Jadakiss, Kevin Gates, Uncle Murda, and more.

Daniel’s outrageous slapstick humor scored his A-list radio gig alongside DJ Whoo Kid.

Daniel Jean’s humor and outlandish antics are frequent re-posts on hip-hop blogs including but not limited to WordStar Hip-Hop and Urbanleak.com, and Thisis50.com  which also follows his Instagram.  Household names like: Tony Yayo, 5 mics, o“Zeke” from PowerBook II  have been featured in some of his videos as well as fellow comedians: Travque, Mr. Commodore, and a midget known as @43giant on social media who from time to time dresses as Chucky for creepy, comical surprises.

Viewers are actually laughing out loud to all of his zany antics.  Daniel will admit it’s easier to go viral when 50 cent  often reposts your videos.  You may see him like wrestling with midgets or arguing with scantily clad video girls, but it’s all in good fun.  Daniel Jean  is now  a part of hip-hop culture with a fanbase so large it’s hard for him to go unrecognized.

Jimmy Miller, founder of talent management company Mosaic and Mike McAvoy, former CEO/Owner of The Onion, with financial support from Elysian Park Ventures, have acquired Upright Citizens Brigade, one of the most well-known comedy brands in the entertainment business. As part of the acquisition, they plan on reopening theaters in the coming months as well as completely rebuilding the business, including providing additional support and opportunities for comedic talent and continuing UCB’s efforts to create a more diverse and inclusive environment.

“We are pleased to be handing over the reins to Jimmy and Mike in the hopes the theater and school will continue to be a thriving environment for all who want to learn and perform comedy.” said the UCB 4’s Amy Poehler, Matt Besser, Ian Roberts and Matt Walsh. “We look forward to the ways they will commit to increasing diversity and ensure the continued existence of an organization we have loved and dedicated ourselves to for over 20 years.”

“We are very excited to reopen theaters and get back to putting improvisers of all walks of life on stage,” said Jimmy Miller. “I look forward to helping Mike and the team with their efforts – I look at the UCB theater and school as another great client. To be clear about my interest in this – I love comedy, I love improv, and I love UCB. I want to be sure that this business continues and thrives for 20 more years, and beyond. While this will be a separate business from Mosaic, it is my hope that synergies will be found that provide overall value, support and stage time to as many performers as possible, regardless of representation.”

“I’m thankful for the opportunity to help lead one of the most respected and influential comedy institutions through its next set of challenges and opportunities,” said Mike McAvoy. “We have many great plans we can’t yet talk about in detail, but our first priority is to reopen theaters and training centers in Los Angeles and New York with diversity, equality and inclusion front and center.

ABOUT MIKE EPPS

Mike Epps is generating an extraordinary amount of buzz among his peers for being not only one of the funniest comic actors in town, but also for his burgeoning dramatic talent. In spring 2018 Harper Collins published Epps’s autobiography called Unsuccessful Thug, written by Mike about his life and childhood; growing up in poverty and how comedy saved his life. He recently starred in the Amazon feature “Troup Zero” alongside Viola Davis, Allison Janney, and Jim Gaffigan, in addition to the Netflix comedy “Dolemite Is My Name” with Eddie Murphy. Mike can next be seen in the upcoming comedies “The Trap” and “The House Next Door.” Since 2000, Epps steadily climbed his way up the stand-up comedy ranks when he was recognized by a national audience in 1995 for appearing on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam (which, years later, he would go on to host). Feature films includes “Next Friday,” “Friday after Next,” “All About the Benjamins,” “The Hangover,” “Girls Trip,” “Faster,” “Hancock,” “Lottery Ticket,” “Next Day Air,” “Roll Bounce,” “The Fighting Temptations”, the Resident Evil franchise, “Bait”, “How High,” “Dr. Dolittle 2,” “Talk to Me,” “Bessie,”  “Repentance,” “Nina,” “Guess Who?” and “Jumping the Broom.”
