Steve RizzoSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

Perhaps the most surprising feature of Steve's career was his phenomenal success as a national headliner, with opening performers including Drew Carey, Rosie ODonnell, and Dennis Miller. He appeared on the billboard alongside Ellen DeGeneres, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, and Jerry Seinfeld. Steve has his own Showtime comedy special, which earned him the title of Showtime Comedy All-Star.

However, the shocks did not end there. Steve left stand-up comedy at the zenith of his career to follow his "real purpose and passion" of teaching others how to be happy and successful regardless of their circumstances. He exchanged standing ovations as a stand-up comic for more fulfillment (and, yes, more standing ovations) as a motivational keynote speaker.

Steve has spoken to audiences all around the world about his plan for personal and professional success. He has been inducted into the distinguished Speakers Hall of Fame," a distinction granted on less than 200 speakers worldwide since 1977.

Steve is the best-selling author of "Get Your SHIFT Together" and is frequently consulted by network, cable, and radio media sources on personal development issues. His wildly acclaimed PBS show introduced him to millions of people and demonstrated why he is an authority on Attitude, Humor, and the Power of Positive Thinking.
