What exactly is a roast? The Webster's dictionary definition says... "cooking over an open fire or in hot ashes"...which is pretty close to what you have in mind for your honoree except that the fire and hot ashes will be wit and humor from a distinguished panel who are ideally close friends of the person of the hour. The people on the panel pay tribute to the guest of honor .... through stories ... memories ... recollections and secret revelations of faults and shortcomings real and imagined....the kind of stuff only your "Inner Circle" would know...or dare to tell in public! The four most important elements of a successful roast:
I take all the risk out of the "roast" and leave in all the fun!
What people say Steve Tyra's abilities as a "Roastmaster". DAN S. KENNEDY We just held a large 3‑day seminar event, attended by about 800 people, from throughout the United States and seven other countries. Included in the event: my semi‑retirement party, featuring a comedy roast of me by a panel of clients and Members who've been with me for 10 to 20 years. Pulling off such a thing with people not necessarily accustomed to being funny on stage is no walk in the park. We turned to Steve Tyra, to help the roasters with their material, and to act as M‑C, host, and comedy contributor throughout the evening. He came through with flying colors. He prepared and delivered funny material funny, he was the glue holding the entire event together, and the result was a flawless, professional, hilarious evening, the high point of the entire conference. I have been speaking professionally for over 25 years, including 9 years on the #1 public seminar tour in America, to audiences as large as 35,000, with other top speakers like Zig Ziglar, Tom Hopkins, Brian Tracy, as well as former U.S. Presidents, sports and Hollywood celebrities. I've also held over 100 major conferences and hired top speakers, humorists, magicians, you‑name‑it. I am a good judge of talent. And I would tell you, you cannot do better in choosing a host/MC than Steve Tyra. Sincerely,
"Steve,
"You did a fantastic job
hosting our roast! Thanks so much.
