 “God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.” -Voltaire

Al Staggs is a character. In fact, he's thirty or more characters. Through the medium of his many zany comedic impressions, Al demonstrates the importance of humor in aiding spiritual, emotional and physical health. His unique storytelling, personal life experiences, and ability to intertwine other characters make him an excellent speaker for medical or holistic conferences, audiences related to aging and retirement, those interested in the humor and health connection, and religious and spiritual audiences.

"I want to recommend Al Staggs with his humor and spiritual thoughts that he can bring to any age group. He is flexible and sensitive to the Spirit in how he uses his characters to relate to people in his audience. Amazing man with such talents and insight into the average person's life, relating to the needs of people."

-Glenn Shows, Consultant, Family Ministry & Adult Discipleship, Mississippi Baptist Convention

Thank you so very, very much, Al! I was inspired to invite you because I knew that we would all need you! In a week on Healthcare, you were just what the doctor ordered!”

-Maureen Rovegno , Assistant Director, Department of Religion, Chautauqua Institution
