When it comes to making hilarious speeches, Arthur Black has more 'material' than most. He's had more jobs than most people have had hot meals. Everything from deck hand on a Liberian oil tanker to editor of a British children's' magazine; from cattle prodder at the Ontario Public Stock Yards to host of Basic Black, one of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's most popular national radio programs ever. He also writes, narrates and hosts two award-winning television programs - Weird Homes and Weird Wheels - on the Life Network.
In addition to cross-country speechifying, Black writes a monthly humor column for 50Plus magazine. His weekly syndicated column is carried by more than 50 newspapers from coast to coast. He is also the author of nine books - two of which won the coveted Leacock Medal for humor.
WHAT DOES ARTHUR TALK ABOUT? All of the above and more. Black takes a wry look at the perils and pitfalls of being a Canadian at this challenging time in our history. But it's not gloom and doom. Black bills himself as "Comic Relief". His talks are designed to make audiences relax, laugh until they get damp and generally recover from the stress and tension of workshops, study sessions and all the serious stuff that goes on at conventions, conferences, symposia and other business get-togethers. He also makes a point of 'customizing' his talks with particular references to the group in question. Black's motto: BELLYLAUGHS GUARANTEED OR MONEY REFUNDED.
