DOC BLAKELY, speaker, musician, and author of seven books is a creative force on the world platform scene today.
A light-hearted success humorist, Doc delivers a message with humor and flair. A showman! Audiences from the U.S. and Canada to Australia acclaim his first-rate, clean humor and timely anecdotes. His style of delivery is equally adaptable from the common to the most sophisticated audiences.
His credentials include B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Texas and Missouri. After 20 years on the platform scene, he has also become an authority on the use of humor in communication. He has authored, in addition to technical books, The Handbook of Wit and Pungent Humor, Push Button Wit, Keep 'Em Laughin', and the delightfully funny, Shoot Luke! The Air is Full of Pigeons.
Meeting planners, from associations to Fortune 500 companies, from rural America to metroplexes of the world, have used this multi-talented professional for keynotes, closing sessions, after-dinner talks, seminars, in-service meetings, spouses programs, wherever there is a need for a platform professional. The 3,500-member National Speakers Association has recognized Doc's work with every major award they give, including "The Cavett," equivalent to the "Oscar" in his profession.
Radio personality Paul Harvey writes, "Superficially, Blakely seems to take nothing seriously. Don't you believe it. I've shared enough platforms with Doc to recognize his diligence. He WORKS at his craft of keeping you and me entertained."
Doc Blakely and Western Novelist/Singer/Songwriter Mike Blakely also offer a Father-Son performance in The Swing Rider Texas Show, which has several budget options depending on duo, trio or larger show band. Call for specifics or a tailored show just for your attendees.
