Raspyni Brothers
Biography

Barry Friedman and Dan Holzman are the Raspyni Brothers. As one of the most sought after acts on the corporate entertainment scene, they appear annually at over 100 events across America and internationally.

Everyday objects come to life in their talented hands.

Golf clubs balance in impossible configurations and cabbages collide midair with flying blow darts while blazing torches, 16-pound bowling balls and razor-sharp garden weasels fly effortlessly overhead.

Using audience participation, hilarious improvisation, and comic dialogue, the Raspyni Brothers pack their time on stage with a dynamic mix of skill and style. These two catchers in the wry never fail to win over even the most demanding, hard-to-please crowds.

Their intelligent mayhem has earned them two International Juggling Championships, multiple appearances on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, and a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

In addition to the tremendous success they enjoy in the field of corporate entertainment, these unrelated siblings also tour as an opening act for dozens of superstars such as Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Howie Mandel, Dennis Miller and Tom Jones.

Other audiences have ranged from the King of Spain and the Academy Awards to the sequestered O.J. Simpson jury.

Workshop

FUNNY BUSINESS

A comedian has to think outside the box--in fact, the good ones don't even have a box! Comedy writing will open doors to new ways of thinking about problems and solutions in life and business. Hands-on exercises let participants work with tools such as exaggeration, absurdity and word play. They will learn to write jokes, think funny and find answers by looking through the comedic lens. Laughter is internal jogging!
Comedy is aerobics for the brain. Let the Raspyni Brothers' Funny Business Workshop increase your company's net-mirth.

Workshop

VOLCANOBALL

This 30-60 minute workshop will have participants moving and laughing while playing the Raspyni Brothers' patented invention--The VolcanoBall.
It's easy to master the basic tricks while building self-esteem and relieving stress. This original toy has none of the preconceptions associated with juggling and can be used in small places. Business tools such as juggling priorities, cultivating relaxed concentration, and creative problem solving skills are perfectly demonstrated during a VolcanoBall workshop.
A body in motion is a mind in motion. A recent study showed that activities like VolcanoBall actually increase gray matter--something modern science believed impossible. Challenge your group with this eye-opening and brain-building experience.

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?
