3 x Daily Comedy

The truth tastes funny. They say that Comedy = Reality + Time. Do we really have time to wait for reality to amuse us? In March 2020, the world changed so suddenly and so drastically that I was compelled to lighten the mood by any means necessary. Through a quick scientific in-depth analysis of the situation, I determined that we all needed at least 3 doses of comedy each day to maintain our sanity. My new pages on Facebook and Instagram are my way of delivering that medicine. As an advertising creative director and publicist, I spend a good deal of time helping brands and artisans disseminate their messages. But I’ve also logged my 10K+ hours as a comedian and entertainer. Oh, and I have 5 kids & 28 years of experience in THAT field. I love improv, so none of these videos are scripted per se. This is a scrappy, run-and-gun process, but it’s rooted in the characters, dialects, and circumstances around me. I also love to take requests – so if there’s a character/voice you’d like to see, hit me! Who knows what tomorrow holds? All I know is we’ve gotta show up to find out. I hope you enjoy the pages – and, in advance, thanks for...

Flip Flop Shops Summit @ Surf Expo 2020

Flip Flop Shops Summit @ Surf Expo 2020

by | Jan 8, 2020 |

For two evenings in January, Hersh will dodge the polar vortex to entertain shop owners and brand execs at the FFS Summit in Orlando, FL. The Summit is a yearly invite-only gathering where franchisees, leadership and vendors convene to share experiences and ideas surrounding the 40+ shops open in the US, Canada and the Caribbean. If Jimmy Buffett ran into Warren Buffett at a luau the night before a clambake… well, you get the picture! Hersh is sure to embrace the positronics and the “right kind of chill” personified by the year-round FFS lifestyle. The location is apt, timed to coincide with Surf Expo, the Watersports & Beach Lifestyle show, where Flip Flop Shops will unveil its new Michael Tilden Collection. Inspired by the surf artist, the FFS-branded merchandise spans t-shirts, calendars, coffee mugs and more. Hersh will also be on hand at the Expo, moderating a Q&A session featuring Michael...

Hersh returns to Rick’s Rollin’ BBQ to preview new material for one of his favorite crowds. Hosted by Steve McInelly, the event has been held religiously (well, as religious as you can get in Vegas) on Wednesday nights for years. It’s open to the public, and a great place to catch local and guest comedians doing their thing. It is also an amazing opportunity to have the kind of short ribs and other unparalleled barbecue you will not find at your typical comedy...

Hersh Rephun traveled the road from produced screenwriter and fledgling comedian, to a media professional who, at one time, oversaw a bicoastal PR firm with a roster of 40 clients in the ad biz. He’s now a Podcaster and a Creative Director helping brands find their funny. How did he end up at EntreFEST? It has a lot to do with being able to handle – and laugh at – the truth. In this standup set, Hersh takes the audience on an entertaining journey through the pitfalls of business, marriage, and raising 3 millennials and 2 gen...
