Why Evan | Book with Confidence

Need to convince your boss?

Here's the case for bringing Evan in — real quotes from real organizers, video proof, and a list of the organizations that have already said yes.

Why it works

He's been in the room

Evan spent years as a data analyst and later a director. He's sat through the bad dashboards, the stakeholder meetings, and the endless debates about definitions. The jokes land because he actually gets it.

Works for mixed audiences

Not everyone in the room has a data background — and that's fine. His material has been tested in front of audiences ranging from PhD data scientists to city government employees with no technical background.

Customized to your event

Evan tailors content to your specific audience, industry, and conference theme. Past clients have noted jokes that referenced their team's actual tools, workflows, and inside frustrations.

Zero-headache to work with

Multiple organizers have specifically called out how easy the process was. He shows up prepared, communicates clearly in advance, and delivers.

What organizers have said

Evan Wimpey was wonderful (and fun!) to work with both in the lead up to and during our 2024 Analytics Conference. He helped to introduce the plenary speakers for both days of our event and structured his content to the unique interests of our audience. Our attendees thoroughly enjoyed his addition to our conference lineup and I highly recommend including him in your upcoming events or conferences!

I first came across Evan when looking for a data consultant for the City of Sugar Land's Data Strategy. We didn't move forward with the consulting work, but I connected with him on LinkedIn. Over time I kept seeing his funny posts and comments on my feed. Then I found out he's actually a standup comedian who specializes in data comedy. Never heard of that before. I got his book and watched some of his videos to see if it would work for one of our city data events. Open Data Day seemed like the perfect fit to bring him in. I was worried his jokes wouldn't land with a general audience, but I was wrong. The crowd was mixed between people with data backgrounds and people without, and his material worked for both. His self-deprecating humor and delivery got plenty of laughs. He was exactly what we needed for this type of event. He was also straightforward to work with. No headaches, just showed up and did his thing. Would definitely bring him back for another event.

Evan was the featured comedian for nearly 400 people from over 30 countries at our international forecasting conference. The audience loved his routine because his jokes were specific to forecasting topics such as trends and seasonalities.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect, but Evan was genuinely funny and the data humor was spot on. What made it work is that he actually worked as a data analyst and later as a director. You could tell he knew exactly what he was talking about, and that made the jokes hit even harder. At one point my colleague was laughing at me because I was laughing so hard. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Evan performed at the annual ECU Economics Fundraiser and Awards Banquet. Great show, super funny and smart! Love how he brought humor to the dismal science.

He not only provides an educational and fun comedy routine but also tailors it toward your specific target audience. If you're into data and need a good laugh, Evan's show is a must-see!
