In addition to corporate and church events, sports banquets, and school assemblies, Steve also lectures at leadership conferences, drama and comedy workshops, and entertainment seminars.

 

Steve's uncle, Bill Spake,  was a professional entertainer and taught Steve ventriloquism.  Steve chose to have a personal relationship with Christ at age eleven at his grandmother's church.  Grandma Spake was a huge spiritual influence on Steve for the rest of her life.  At the age of fifteen, Steve began using ventriloquism in children's worship as a tool to reach chidren with the Gospel.  He also became very active in Bible studies and bus ministry.  God led Steve to become a Children's Pastor and he held that position for fifteen years.

 

Steve graduated from Campbell University in North Carolina and still returns to perform for incoming freshman classes.  After many years of performing, teaching Bible study and leading youth and children's worship, Steve has not lost his first love - entertaining and teaching all ages that laughter is truly a gift from God and that our "life choices" provide us a way to show God our love for Him.

 

Steve and his wife Carlette have two daughters, Tiffany and Tori, one son-in-law, Jason, and a granddaughter, Piper.

 

Steve Brogan has developed the talent God gave him to the level of a skilled professional and has won many national awards in ventriloquism.  He performs hundreds of events a year and incorporates laughter into teaching spiritual truths about God and His love.

 

Steve says, "I feel very fortunate to be able to make people laugh for my living.  I not only enjoy my work - I am paid to have fun, watch others laugh and teach about God's great love for us.  What kind of job could be better?"

 

Steve knows Who holds his future ... and he knows what his future holds ... working with dummies.

 

 

 

 

 

Steve's show is filled with hilarious comedy but brings the audience to a point of decision!

 

If you are looking for a program that is unique, hilarious and entertains the players, leaders, and parents, Steve's five-star Upward reviews will give you the confidence that he is one of the "top" Upward-recommended speakers in the nation.

 

His show contains super funny characters such as a Tie-Wearing Duck who introduces Steve.  He never remembers what he is supposed to say when introducing Steve and tries to be a ventriloquist as well.

 

Next, a talking Upward basketball, complete with basketball shorts and Chuck Taylors, interrupts because he's sad the season is over.  When he and Steve discuss his options of a part-time job, the laughter begins as he tries to nudge his way into Steve's show.

 

Then Steve's Upward player friend Eddie appears and begins to point out people in the audience he knows - or thinks he knows.  The conversation pulls some coaches into the show which causes hilarious streams of laughter and ends up with a coach on stage with Steve for an unforgettable finale.

 

All this occurs while not losing focus of the evening - that of bringing people to a point of decision that will change their lives.

 

Steve is a master ventriloquist and comedian who has not lost his first love of sharing the love of Jesus Christ.  Thousands of children, teens, and adults have chosen to make a life-changing decision for Christ after hearing Steve's simple Gospel message.

 

Steve has been featured many times at Upward trainings across the nation and continues to travel the country as one of the "top" recommended speakers for Sports Awards Celebrations.  He has also been featured in many Upward training videos and presentations.  Steve's passion for Upward goes beyond a job - it's his ministry.  He is passionate, polished and professional.
