Claire Berger

Did you hear the one about the CEO

Not only did Claire Berger hear it, chances are she wrote it. With a career in comedy that spans over 2 decades and around the globe -- from comedy clubs and colleges to keeping audiences entertained during the taping of popular sitcoms -- comedian Claire Berger realized that the one place where humor is most needed, but often missing, is the workplace. In her ability to reach people through humor, she discovered a valuable tool that could be highly effective in a business environment. With the creation of FunnyWorks, Inc. in 1998, Claire Berger focused her talents to bring humor into the workplace and help corporate America tap into one of its most valuable hidden resources.

Claire began her comedy career in Chicago with the legendary Second City improvisational theater. She's received critical acclaim as a stand-up comedian and radio talk show host. After moving to Los Angeles, she found great success as a warm-up comedian entertaining audiences of over 65 different television shows including "Seinfeld," "Just Shoot Me," "The Ellen Show" and nine seasons of "Murphy Brown."

As the host of the HGTV's "Fantasy Open House," Claire Berger became the first stand-up comic the network trusted to host a series, taking viewers on an offbeat tour of exquisite multi-million dollar homes around the country.

Her book, 'FUNNY WORKS! 52 Ways to Have More Fun at Work' (Seven Locks Press), gives the working world easy ways to create a more productive atmosphere at the office.
