Speaker Profile

Gary Skyner is unlike any other comedian on the circuit today. His wit and tenacity will simply overpower the room, keeping even the most brilliant heckler at bay. Laugh your head off to one of the funniest Scousers to ever come out of Liverpool.
As the second child in the UK to be born damaged by the deadly thalidomide drug, which was administered to expectant mothers in the 1960’s, Gary’s life was destined to be difficult and challenging, as the drug impaired his physical development. Expected not to live, let alone to achieve much, Gary is living proof that there is nothing you cannot achieve if you believe you can.
With his comedic flair, Gary will show you how to conquer fears, benefit from failures, change attitudes, your own and others; learn to change limitations into opportunities, obstacles into challenges, and master your full capabilities.
He represents encouragement in the face of defeat and will challenge us to learn to think differently, to live life with courage and passion, and achieve what we think is impossible. I’ve been told to “Expect the unexpected”, as he delivers key information in the most humorous way. “Let him entertain you, touch your heart and get your brain working in new directions”

Gary says of himself, he is ” The Worlds most famous unknown comedian”
