At the end of 2019,
Jeff Civillico
wrapped up a 10-year run on the Las Vegas Strip as a Headliner with Caesars Entertainment. Now he is able to bring his infectious energy to in-person events on a regular basis and is making his mark on virtual events as well. Jeff blends his perfected art for entertainment with friendly audience interaction and insane amounts of energy. He has transitioned into an essential part of a virtual event team, the host. Keeping the attention of the audience in a remote setting is challenging, but Jeff seamlessly pulls all the event elements together to create a cohesive conference experience that is still engaging and impactful.
Jeff also offers a single virtual event experience combining his in-person show and team-building workshop. Pairing his clean comedy show with a juggling workshop has proven to be a hit! These workshops can be tailored to organizations, reinforcing themes of connection, trust and teamwork or more “entertainment-based” to include the families of employees as well.
No matter how you utilize Jeff, you can expect your event to be high energy, interactive and FUN! Watch Jeff’s video for a testimonial from a recent event.
