Don McMillan

SPECIAL EVENT

Don McMillan

with Jesse Fernandez and Luisa Isbell

America's #1 Nerdy Comedian - As seen on America's Got Talent!

What do you get when you cross an Engineer with a stand-up comedian? You get Don McMillan. This former chip designer has been doing his one-of-a-kind, PowerPoint-Driven comedy show for audiences for over 20 years. In his show packed with graphs & charts, Don will show you the funny side of your world that has been sitting right in front of you – you are just too busy working to notice. Don graduated from Stanford University with a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. He then went to work at AT&T Bell Labs where he was part of the team that designed the world’s first 32-bit microprocessor. He then moved to Silicon Valley where he helped launch the start-up company, VLSI Technology. Then after 15 years in the tech world, Don quit his job to become a stand-up comedian. That year he won $100,000 as the Comedy Grand Champion on “Star Search”. Don’s been seen on “The Tonight Show”, “HBO”, and the “Comedy Central”. These days, Don spends most of his time writing and performing customized corporate comedy shows for companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Ford Motors, and Exxon/Mobil. Don has performed more than 800 corporate shows in the last 20 years and he was named the #1 Corporate Comedian by the CBS Business Network.

Jesse Fernandez

I live in the Bay Area most of the time, professionally writing, telling, and drawing jokes. It's what I've been doing for a decade and a half, and I love it. I even wrote my master's thesis on the linguistic mechanisms that elicit laughter.

I've had the pleasure to write for countless organizations, including ABC, MSN, Starbucks, Frito-Lay, Hitachi, TED Talks, and AJ+, Onion Inc. I teach writing, comedy, performance, and more at Google. I was a staff writer at eBaum's World for about 4 years and head writer there for 3 years. I once gave a talk at the International Society for Humor Studies, gave comedy presentations in 10 countries, became a two-time finalist (one-time champion) in the National College Comedy Competition and performed in 10 consecutive SF Sketchfests.
