Dave Barry Keynote Fee: $28,750 * *Fee Note Dave Barry Travels From: FL |
A writer for the Miami Herald, Dave Barry is a humorist whose side-splitting column appears in more than 500 newspapers in the United States and abroad. An internationally syndicated columnist, Dave Barry discusses various major issues relating to the international economy, the future of democracy, society and exploding bathroom fixtures. In 1988, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Ever since, people everywhere have been trying to understand how it happened and have demanded a recount.
Barry has also written more than a score of books. Virtually none of them contain any useful information, including his latest, Boogers Are My Beat: More Lies But Some Actual Journalism. Two of them were used as the basis for the CBS TV sitcom Dave’s World, in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave. The show has been cancelled, but for the time being life continues.
Born in 1947, Barry has steadily grown older ever since without actually reaching maturity. He holds a totally useless English degree from Haverford College, where he wrote lengthy, scholarly papers filled with sentences he did not understand.
