Speaking and Other Opportunities

Will Holcomb approaches difficult topics with humor, heart, and honesty. His writing, from The Infinite Jeff series to plays Clinically Un-Depressed and The Puzzler, takes on anger, division, love, and purpose in ways that are relatable and hopeful.

On stage, Will is approachable and funny (please ignore his wife in this regard). He doesn’t pontificate or preach; he tells stories and talks on topics that make people laugh, think, and see the world differently. Audiences walk away entertained, inspired, and ready to carry those lessons into their own lives.
