The Corporate Impostor — a comic keynote delivered entirely in character, written for one event.
Homer Papantonio performs as The Corporate Impostor — arriving at an event in character as an overseas industry expert or guru, and holding that character in front of an audience that does not know. He has created more than a thousand such characters across his career, in Australia and on more than twenty international tours, each one built for a single event.
The work is closer to commissioned writing than to stand-up. Papantonio begins with a comprehensive client briefing and extensive research into the organisation, its profession and the theme of the event, then writes and rewrites the character — a process that often runs for several months before the performance date. The finished keynote targets the real issues the audience is dealing with, delivered by someone they believe to be a genuine authority, and is supported by a purpose-built visual presentation. The reveal lands precisely because the material underneath it is accurate.
For conferences, special events and product launches, The Corporate Impostor is a keynote and a set piece at once — an organisation's own issues named out loud, in front of everyone, by a stranger who turns out not to exist. Papantonio also fronts a wellbeing package built on the idea that managing energy rather than time is what sustains high performance, and facilitates question-and-answer sessions covering mental, physical and emotional health. Independent client evaluations have been collected across his last thousand engagements.
Homer Papantonio is a keynote speaker based in Queensland who speaks on inspiration, leadership and motivation. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
