The Cheap Speakers Bureau "It's A Mitzvah Thing!"

NEED A SPEAKER FOR YOUR GROUP?

Mark and Randy have spoken at schools, synagogues, churches and on television shows on a wide variety of subjects; both humorous and serious.

On a very, VERY cold day in 2003, Mark and Randy appeared on the TV program "Spiritual Spectrum". They were asked to talk about cartoons, humor and religion. Nobody expected what happened next. The show quickly went from its normally serious discussion format, to a half-hour of jokes, quips and laughter. At one point during the taping, the cameraman had to let go of the camera because he was laughing so hard he was shaking the camera.
