This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Take a moment to laugh a bit and get to know the message carried with it. Writer and voice actor, DERREK CARRIVEAU, is armed with a whiskey-warm voice and martini-dry wit, and aims his acerbic and honest humor at everyday life. CHRISTIAN A. DUMAIS, writer and humorist, mixes wicked one-liners and razor-sharp observations, and proves why TIME named him “one of [their] favorite funnymen.” The man who started the English stand-up comedy scene in Wrocław, FAMOUS JIM WILLIAMS, uses his dual powers of physical and spoken-word comedy to delight and amaze. It's easy to see why Wroclaw Uncut called Williams a "comedy gem." About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
