Be prepared to start the day with a laugh when you join Michael Davis in the Business Tent to kick-off the Bakersfield Business Conference. This witty comedian mixes his take on current political and economic issues with a rather curious talent - juggling.

Davis will dazzle you with his comedy, antics, and accurate assessment of current issues - all the while balancing such curious items as a bowling ball, an ax, an apple, an egg, and just about anything else he can find.

Davis often is recognized for his work on Saturday Night Live and has performed on numerous other television shows, the nightclub circuit, in a live theater production of Sugar Babies, and in a command performance at the Ford Theater. This third-generation San Franciscan also is a Clown School graduate and has performed with the Ringling Brothers Circus.
