About Wil

If my face looks familiar to you either you know me from years on television or you’ve been leaving your drapes open at night. Okay, that’s an opening line.

For the past 20 years I have been working both in front and behind the cameras and with live audiences around the world. I‘ve hosted on dozens of National shows, acted in major movie pictures and television shows, and been a guest on hundreds of others. Years of doing the job as a stand up comedian has taught me what makes people laugh.

As a director I have been in charge of large budgets and major stars and have directed hundreds of hours of television Shows like Frasier, Everybody Loves Raymond and Gilmore Girls to name only a few.

I’ve recently tackled the big screen, writing the screenplay, producing and directing the motion picture Hoot. Released on over 3000 screens the film has made millions in the DVD and pay television markets where it still runs regularly two years later standing the test of time. I’ve learned many things over the years.

How can I apply all the experience to your next project? Lets talk about your next event, your needs, your program, your attendees and your message.

My list of clients have had many a successful experiences in bringing a large product launch, a conference, a media tour or black tie gala. After the Windows 2000 launch, Bill Gates hand picked me to write and direct his next video for his Keynote speaking engagements

Whether its making an audience laugh without using blue material, giving a presentation for a targeted group or getting attendees involved in the show, all of these tracks make for a successful program.

On the speaking circuit I have found great joy in reminding folks that sometimes humor is the best way to handle difficult people, deal with a crisis or kickoff a week of fun.

If you would like your next event to be a winner with everyone from the top brass through the rank and file, let get together and talk.

Please feel free to open a initial no commitment dialogue with us so we can work together to come up with ideas that will make your event a huge success.

Wil Shriner Productions and my team can take care of everything or anything that a successful conference, meeting, or gala will demand.

Thanks for reading, I hope we get a chance to work together.

Let’s be honest with my track record I should be relaxing on the beach but with two kids in college, an ex wife and a love of boats and airplanes,  I need to keep working for a few more years.

Hope to hear from you when your next event is ready to step up another level.

Thanks
