Randy Peyser believes that from adversity comes comedy. Therefore, our relationships, our abundance or lack thereof, our dreams, our quests to "get it right - whatever "it" is, our desire for success, and our relationship to the Divine, as well as much more, are all grist for her comic mill. In what she calls, "Comic Intervention," Randy sprinkles wisdom throughout her talks, while cleverly spoofing all of the beliefs and techniques she has learned along the way.
Sample pieces include:
In the Beginning
- In which Randy incarnates, saves the world and teaches geese how to migrate
God is a Potato
- In which Randy explains why french fries are an abomination of the likeness
of the Lord
The Chakra Chanting Cha-Cha
- In which Randy demonstrates operating instructions for advanced souls
The Scroll of the Wiser Peyser (pronounced
Pizer)
- In which Randy is arrested for being a prisoner of her thoughts,
then discovers her own sense of innate wisdom to break free
A Fashion Show for Attitudinal Make-Overs
- In which struggling, closet visionaries undergo drastic shifts in perception
God's Little Ego Deflation Devices
- In which God teaches Randy what happens when one's ego grows larger than one's
head
The Wheel of Faulting
- In which the audience gets to chuck all sense of self-responsibility and blame
others
for their problems
Am I Poor or is this God's Way of Saying It's Okay
for me to Eat Cat Food?
- In which Randy discovers that while being true to herself, the only thing
left in her
refrigerator is the box of baking soda
Practice Random Acts of Chutzpah
- In which Randy shares bold and comical, real life adventures of risk taking
while pursuing her dreams
Much of her material is interactive and participatory.
An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, Randy also sometimes incorporates
guitar and exotic tribal drums into her talks. People appear to be
genuinely moved when she plays. Many times, people cry. She hopes this
is because they are touched by her songs, and not because her singing is that
bad.
Randy can adapt any of her material or create new material based on the theme
of your conference, tv show, radio show, church service, ritual, festival,
party, cruise, etc.
She is available for anything from a five minute stint to a full-length appearance.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT COMIC INTERVENTION!
"I loved your performance. You
were yourself,
not playing any form of role. This is rare even in real life.
Everything you did was totally unexpected,
unique, like nothing I've ever seen before.
My very active creative side was richly satisfied.
Everything you did was profoundly true and real.
At times it touched in so deep I could feel myself get a little
uncomfortable, like being really seen/known.
I laughed and laughed. I don't laugh easily when watching comedians.
You involved the audience in wondrous ways.
I never lost interest, wondering what you would dream up next." -- Acrisa

"I enjoyed your comic intervention talk in Monterey. You do such a great job with your props, delivery, and you are so relaxed in front of the audience." -- Jim T.
"I thought she was GREAT - a friend recommended the book which I really enjoyed. We then went to Randy's show - she was so funny that we laughed so hard - we cried. It was a very comfortable location and entertainment at it's best. You can't beat the price and will leave feeling Happy instead of Crappy." -- GB
