More About Wayne Cotter . . .
Drawn to standup comedy at the tender age of 6, Wayne Cotter
memorized the routines of Bob Newhart, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks
and other greats of the era, repeating them incessantly.
His parents, not recognizing this obvious cry for help, simply
avoided him, causing sufficient feelings of alienation that
Wayne's future in show business was virtually assured.
Wayne
Cotter studied electrical engineering at the University of
Pennsylvania and began a career with a New Jersey computer
company. Before long, however, Wayne started moonlighting as
a Philadelphia comedian and continued this double life for
some time. Coming to the visionary conclusion that the computer
industry was going nowhere, Cotter left town to pursue show
business full time. Keeping up-to-date, nevertheless, with
developments in the fast-paced information technology business
Wayne now performs frequently for such companies as Sun Microsystems,
Hewlett-Packard, and IBM. "Just when I thought I was out,
they pull me back in!" he says. Other of the many top
companies who have repeatedly booked Wayne Cotter for their
corporate events include GlaxoSmithKline, MCI, Viacom, TRW,
Pfizer, Godiva, and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.
