“Hilarious. David’s portrayal of a business guru was faultless. He had all his audience fooled. Whether they were agreeing with his statements or rejecting them. When it finally started to dawn on people that he was a hoaxer, the laughter never stopped. David researched his target audience well, using current situations in our industry to support his ‘business views’. Drawing individual members of the audience into his speech to illustrate his points of view, causing fits of laughter from both the individual and audience. I cannot recommend enough David’s services to anyone who is looking for some sure fire entertainment for their business function.”

It is true to say that David’s performance at our Client Christmas Cocktail function was the highlight of the evening. As a result of David’s excellent research and ability to deliver, he had created a hilarious and fun evening, and a truly had the audience in fits of laughter. It certainly was an evening fondly remembered by all who attended.”
Grosvenor
He proved to be a great humorist with his presentation centred on a suitable business theme that had the audience amazed and mystified at first and then, once the hoax was realised, roaring with laughter at this jibes and jokes.
Gallagher
Your presentation was extremely amusing – evidenced by the laughter from the audience. The manner in which you were able to weave personal comments about individuals from our company into your presentation certainly engaged all those who attended – and I believe those who were picked out quite enjoyed their small moment in the limelight.
Visy Recycling
The night was a great success from our perspective and you certainly helped us achieve this. You had our guests enthralled at your insightfulness and then in stitches as the night went on. I also appreciated you staying on and talking to some of our guests, it all added to our wonderful night and the feedback was excellent.
Moylan’s
His use of research was faultless, using exactly the right amount of industry jargon to create credibility. Everyone lapped it up, particularly those members of the audience who came in for a bit of teasing. I had many great comments on the night and plenty of good feedback since. He was brilliant and very, very funny. I wholeheartedly recommend David Cummings for your function.
Fuji Xerox
I had misgivings about the way the audience of Project Managers may have taken to David’s wit and humour, particularly knowing he was going to attack many of the controversial institutionalised ‘hot buttons’ in our industry. I need not have worried, Professor Alistair Basil, management consultant from the UK, has people quite taken in as uncovered different views on each of these ‘scared cows’ and many people were taken in right to the end of his presentation.
Project Management Institute
Excellent! David’s performance was outstanding. One of my very bright young engineers who is presently working toward his MBA was caught religiously taking notes for the first 15 minutes of David’s speech. David’s contribution to our forum was the spice in the sauce. Absolutely perfect!
Santos Limited
An excellent end to a day of hard work. David helped everyone have a laugh and forget the serious issues that everyone grappled with during the day.
Parramatta City Council
David was EXCELLENT! Our customers (and management and staff that had been kept in the dark) were completely fooled until towards the end it became clear David was having them all on. His corporate/management politically incorrect observations were hilarious! Our customers couldn't stop talking about him way into that evening's dinner. The one common word used was "excellent".
International Decision Systems
Your performance was executed with quick wit, and in great character, that delighted the audience with humorous end to the night’s proceedings.
Integ Communciations
David Cummings was absolutely wonderful! He had the majority of the audience fooled and was hilarious! I was very impressed with his research and preparation - David is very professional. Everyone is still talking about his performance and I have been recommending him to everyone.
Sydney Adventist Hospital
“David Cummings was brilliant. David was the last speaker of the program and our intention was for David to finish the Conference off on a high note. David's presentation more than achieved that goal. I received so many comments, ie "I want to take him home", "I thought he was the real thing", "Fantastically done!" I would recommend David for any corporate function, a highly entertaining gentleman.”
Institute of Hospitality in Health Care

The Prince Alfred Old Collegians Association.
The moment David started and “hit” them with his first punch line the audience knew something was happening and then he “hit” them with two fast lines and the place just erupted with laughter which lasted about 40 minutes after which we all needed to give our sides and stomach muscles a rest!
Abalone Council of Australia (SA)
“David had prepared meticulously and knew all of the development industry hot buttons. He was able to weave industry themes into an hilarious presentation that was choc-a-block with bogus advice. He captured the attention of the audience in the first minute and had them in stitches for the rest of his presentation. David Cummings is a true professional and a genuinely funny man.”
Urban Development Institute of Australia
”David spoke as an after dinner speaker to 100 conference participants who had experienced a challenging day. The delight on their faces when they realised that they were not, as they thought, listening to another consultant, but a human being who humorously and accurately put their fates
into perspective, was delightful. He had incorporated the briefing provided into his routine seamlessly and convincingly. As a conference organiser he was a joy to employ as he was flexible and quick to identify the key points of the briefing.”
Department of Education, Employment & Workplace Relations
”David Cummings is one of the great corporate entertainers in Australia. He was hilarious and perfect for a mixed audience at our annual dinner.

Hastings Funds Management Limited
”I read the testimonials on David before making our booking and I was shocked. I thought to myself, he can’t be that funny How wrong I was. What a performance and what a professional. David's performance has been the talk of the Office Products industry ever since. Research was thorough and relevant. I was doubled over with laughs and so was the rest of the audience. He exceeded my expectations tenfold.Content and delivery were excellent. Our annual event is my baby and he was the icing on the cake. How will we ever better our event next year?”
ASA Australia
”In a well-researched presentation, David displayed his true talent for acting and capturing the attention of his audience. His outstanding performance was not only believable but both very professional and funny. By
enticing his audience into his ‘reality’ he shocked and immensely humoured us for the entirety of his performance. We would highly recommend this
chameleon corporate comedian to add a humoured touch to any corporate function.”

insight and hilarious one-liners.”

challenging day arguing about words.”
