Hey, I’m Sam
The founder of Smirk Experience.
I’ve spent the last 15 years on the UK comedy circuit and the last 9 helping professionals speak better in high-pressure environments.
When I began in comedy it felt like finally getting to an itch that I couldn’t scratch.
I wasn’t very good, but bitten by the bug. I spent years learning my craft; from soul destroying open mic gigs, dying on my arse Christ knows how many times, getting better and performing on paid shows around the country to working with some of my comedy heroes.
These techniques take years to learn and master, but I’ve distilled them so your team can pick them up in a few days.
Today, with around a 1000 gigs around the world including 3 full runs at the Edinburgh Fringe under my belt I’m in a position to help some of the largest brands on the planet communicate like pro comics do.
While embarking on this journey I was simultaneously embarking on another; going from being an Executive at ITV to 1 of their youngest Sales Controllers. This was a cut-throat heavily target driven environment where only the strongest survived. The communication techniques I learnt through comedy were integral to this success, and I want to help your team thrive too.
This work combines the best of both worlds—because nothing sharpens communication like having a room full of strangers eating out of your hand.
