David Nihill

David, is the author of the best-selling book Do You Talk Funny? and the Founder of FunnyBizz Conference. His work has been featured in Inc., Lifehacker, The Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, The Irish Times, NPR, Fast Company and Forbes.


He works with San Francisco State University, General Assembly, and the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center as a course instructor. His program has been featured by Prezi as one of the five best online training courses for presenters, and his book remains one of the highest rated in the world on the (usually not so wildly exciting) topic of public speaking. 

As a storyteller, he finished runner-up in NPR's the Moth's largest US story telling competition and has won multiple Moth Storyslam competitions. He has performed stand-up comedy at California's leading clubs including Cobbs, the Comedy Store, the Improv and the Punchline even though he strongly denies being a comedian and is well aware most people don't understand his accent.

His clients include top companies like LinkedIn, best-selling authors, TV personalities, CEO’s, TED speakers and a penguin he once failed to make funny.  A graduate of the UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School in Ireland, he wears a tie but only to bungee jump, and calls San Francisco home when immigration officials permit.
