Why Choose David Naster?
Nobody does what David Naster does!
David is a rare blend of quality entertainment and true inspiration. He is funny without cursing. He motivates without preaching. With laser-sharp focus, Naster demonstrates how humor dissolves any type of stress. He does this by using real examples from real people who have been through life’s toughest times.
The beauty of David’s presentation is that the audience is laughing as he empowers them to deal with their own stressful issues. They leave feeling good and knowing how to continue that feeling.
Comedian Charlie Ling seems to have all. His posts on social media get millions of views. He travels the world, performing on cruise ships. He makes great money. He just married a gorgeous woman. Everything changes, though, when his new bride goes missing. Charlie gets drawn into a world of lust, deceit, organized crime, and international intrigue.
The ship where Charlie works, the Phantom Breeze, is also a hotbed of scandal and drama. Passengers on the luxury liner have no idea what goes on below deck and behind the watertight doors. Sex, extortion, drug smuggling and attempted murder are just the beginning, for officers and crew alike.
Rough Seas is a fun ride. The book takes readers on a fast-paced, exciting trip to Bangkok, Beijing, and Singapore, and into the dark underside of the cruise ship industry.
David Naster was a theater/psychology major in college. He soon realized he’d rather make fun of people instead of helping them. That’s what lead him to becoming not just a comedian, but an internationally, well-known comedian. Naster was the only American Comedian to open for Celine Dion’s World Love Tour. He has been a headline act for Norwegian Cruise Lines for 29 years, and he has received awards from colleges and TV for his comedic talents.
Yet, underneath all of the laughs, David discovered that humor and laughter could heal the deepest emotional and physical pains. That led him back to his psychology roots, creating You Just Have To Laugh (YJHTL). This one-of-a kind brand and applicable philosophy inspires, encourages and brings joy to millions of people. By using real examples of real life from real people, David Naster speaks to professional and private organizations worldwide. His philosophy is endorsed by renowned physicians Dr. Patch Adams and Dr. Bernie Siegel as well as Herb Kelleher (founder of Southwest Airlines).
David is an award winning author and filmmaker. His books and films have been implemented at the Stanford Cancer Center, Mayo Clinic and MD Anderson Cancer Institute. Numerous Universities, Schools, Hospitals, Rehab Centers and Hospices worldwide also use the many episodes and books of You Just Have To Laugh.
In his 40th year of making people laugh, David’s passion and purpose is simple: “To Help Heal the World, One Laugh at a Time.”
