AFG had the good fortune of engaging Fady Kassab to tour on a five-city roadshow of our mortgage broker network. Fady worked with audiences across the country, tailoring his material for the local crowd and resonating from state to state. Fady’s comedy is feel good and joyous, delivered with a disarming cheeky grin that pulls the crowd in. His material cuts across a diverse multicultural audience.
He is smart and quick enough to riff off the conference presenters and material that precedes him, in a manner that helps everyone look great.
But most of all, Fady is just really funny and puts everyone in a great mood.
