Dawn knows how to laugh at work--she does it at conferences,
benefits, roasts and special events for a wide variety businesses and
organizations.

Dawn did a great
job for us. She kept the audience entertained and laughing
throughout the evening. Her energy and enthusiasm was infectious
and she elevated our awards dinner to another level. Working
with Dawn in planning and writing the event was also great. Her
involvement helped focus (and relax) the event team to make the
script more professional and polished. My only regret is having
to confine Dawn to our structured evening. I think the audience
would have had an even better time if we gave her more freedom
to be spontaneous.

Excerpt from a personal note from the COO of the
Division
I too feel thrilled about your participation in the
event – I could not have come up with a better host and
one more willing and earnest to do a great job. Your
efforts and true desire to make the night a success were
obvious to all involved. I have heard about comedians
peaking on stage, and you did just that! It was amazing
to see it for myself – I don’t know how you do it, but
you are not only a funny person – but also a
caring/giving one too (I could tell that right away). I
have a ton of respect for what you do and for your
ability to create relationships fast and your remarkable
ability to celebrate having fun together.
Good luck to you in your professional and personal life
– I have great hopes for you – perhaps I will see you
host the actual Oscars one day – I think you have that
potential.
Best regards, Tim

She started her
professional comedy career in 1996 by writing and
performing comedy skits about the computer industry for several
international IT conferences held in the United States.
"Dawn Holley was an absolute delight to work with and a great
entertainer. The delegates attending our conference couldn't say enough
about her and that they could not remember laughing so much in
years. I would highly recommend her to anyone."
Millie DeMariano CFDD Conference East Co-Chairman 10/25/2005
Dawn
was PERFECT for our function! As a mixed group of Public Safety
specialists; from frontline 911 operators/dispatchers to
management/directors to vendors, everyone found Dawn to be absolutely
hilarious. She knows what's funny, and her delivery and facial expressions
(not to mention the hair), will have you falling out of your seat. The
audience participation was the highlight; who doesn't want to see their
peers being foolish and loving it? I would highly recommend Dawn for
any venue or group, large or small - she was fantastic! I'm still hearing
about how much everyone enjoyed her performance.

"...
was extremely dynamic and fun."

Comedy and
for special events across the country.

“All
I can say is WOW!...number one choice to bring back
...had everyone leaving with a smile on their face.”

"The most
creative, motivating, fun, valuable session I have ever attended.
Inspiring."
Maybe being raised by a father who was a rocket scientist and a
mother who was a gossip columnist gave Dawn her offbeat
worldview.
“Great
interaction with audience … Dawn is a great story teller.”
Maybe the many hot, dry summer days she spent as a child
contemplating life in the peaceful quiet of an Altus OK Methodist church
shaped her spiritual perspective. Whatever the source, Dawn’s
experiences have inspired her to be an amusing, encouraging
storyteller—and thousands of professionals from across the country
agree.
“...
she would be a wonderful compliment
to any business or professional event
adding humor and wisdom.

"Entertaining
and informative--one of the best I've attended. Thank you."
