HUMOR WITH A MESSAGE

“I love laughing! I hate LECTURES!” PAT HURLEY

One of the top comedians for teenagers in America. Pat has spoken in 47 states and was a comedian on

ABC-TV for three years. He won three Emmy awards for hosting and writing teenage talk shows in Los Angeles

and Chicago. He currently lives in California where he spends most of his time bribing his daughter to clean her room.

 

His humor is universal for students and teachers including,

“Funny Things Parents say and Do!”  “Guys in front of a Mirror in the Morning!”  “What REALLYgoes on at Girl’s Sleepovers!”  “Weird  Movie Scenes!”  “The Psychotic Family Vacation!”  “P.E. Wars!” “G.I. Joe Vs. Barbie!”  “Morning Announcements” “Funny Sounds Girls and Guys Make!” “MySpace Madness!”

“Dumb Things Friends Do!” and much, much more…

(Yes, his humor is all CLEAN!) 

But, Pat Hurley can be serious, too. His emphasis is on ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE! With a B.A. degree in

Government and as former Chairman of the Educational Reform Committee at Cal State-Sacramento, he wants

to support your teachers in the classroom and challenge today’s students to finish college. “Education has so many positive results. It enables you to discover your talent, broaden your knowledge of the world, hone your discipline, help you set goals and teach you the reality of parking ticket violations!” FYI: Pat hopes to finish paying his soon

STUDENT PROGRAMS THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE!

A challenge to excell in the state mandated testing for students! In the past three years, Pat has seen a great deal of success in API results. 47 out of 51 schools went UP in their scores by an average of 17 points!

THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN CAFETERIA FOOD!

Exit exam motivation. Pat Hurley will make your students laugh but he is deadly serious when he says, “Let’s pass this test NOW and get it over with so you can enjoy high school!

THE HEART OF A CHAMPION!

A mid-year boost to remind your student body that winners are stronger at the end of a competition than they are at the beginning. “Let’s win the fourth quarter, the ninth inning, the last lap and the final song, whether it be sports or “American Idol,” that’s how a Champion thinks!” Powerful.

MAKE A DECISION IT’S ONLY YOUR LIFE!

Good choices are not by accident. Pat does stand up comedy to highlight personal responsibility, doing the right thing and setting goals with boundaries. 80% humorous.

THE FOUR LOVES OF A LEADER!

Student councils need to know the difference between leading and following. Highlights include, Taking risks, Using failure to Succeed, Persistence and Sacrifice. Funny and true.

STAFF PROGRAMS PLAYING “SURVIVOR” AS A STAFF!

A team building, interactive workshop for administrators and teachers. Pat has them chart the four basic behavior types and the results are not only revealing but hilarious!

OUR BEST FOR THEIR BEST!

An all-staff challenge to begin the year. Pat reminds all your employees from the cafeteria crew to the custodian to the bus drivers to the secretaries and faculty that, “Everyone’s a TEACHER!” A great way to unify everyone to help students.

GET A LIFE!

A comedic Top Ten stress-management keynote for faculty and administrators. Interactive, practical and FUN! Wait until your staff begins singing the songs that make them smile!
