Mack Dryden's Key Accomplishments Include . . .
When groups want a message with their merriment, Mack is the Motivational Humorist they call. Creating hilarious custom humor for each client comes naturally to the former staff writer for Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, and his stories of surviving two battles with cancer, a stay in an African prison, and "the sharks in showbiz who stab you in the front" are as inspiring as they are laugh-out-loud funny.

Several years ago, after hearing of Mack's harrowing survival stories, a friend asked him to speak to a group of graduating students. Mack's presentation was so moving and funny that he was asked to speak to other groups, and since then has shared his inspiring story and unique, clean humor with thousands at corporate and association meetings nationwide. His ability to create custom comedy constantly amazes. As one client put it, "You took a dry subject like manufacturing software and made it funny-like you'd been in the industry yourself!"

From humble beginnings as "the funniest paper mill employee in Mississippi," Mack became a professional comedian whose talent and perseverance eventually got him hand-picked by Bill Maher to write on the acclaimed show. As a performer, he's appeared on The Tonight Show with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, many other TV shows and movies, including JAG and a recurring role as a judge on ABC's The Guardian.
