He then studied with touring stand-up comedians, Cirque du Soleil choreographers, Ringling Brothers circus clowns, Broadway directors, and world-class jugglers. Robert now shares his vast knowledge not only by captivating audiences around the world, but also by mentoring other variety artists and teaching corporate executives how to give engaging, compelling, and inspiring presentations.
