It was great! Thank you so much.
A mixed bag of:
- people who laughed at everything you said
- people who thought you were a genius and could not understand why the whole crowd wasn’t laughing
- people whose heads it went over
- smart people who thought you were a Psychiatrist until someone told them after the fact that you weren’t (and they are now questioning their own intelligence)
- those who got the joke straight away
- those who thought you were an ass@#%* weird Doctor
- those who thought Nick really did keep a journal, and
- those who were deeply offended!! Like myself!
All in all, they will, I am sure, say … we went to a party once, believing this man was actually a Psychiatrist … etc …
Thank you again! You were part of the fabulous ingredient that made the cake pop!
How do YOU think it went?
I’d like to thank Rodney Marks for sharing his great wit at a private function Emma Rusher and I held at home recently. Rodney came dressed as a tradesman, and spent some time wandering around the house looking at stuff and asking questions. ‘It’s hard to get good help these days,’ we said. Most of what he said is either inappropriate for LinkedIn, or wouldn’t work in this context, but I will share this line (which I do not endorse): “A marketer and a journalist is an interesting partnership. Do you know what you call a bad marketer? A journalist. Do you know what you call a bad journalist? An editor.” Thanks Rodney for making us all laugh.

Hey Rodney, thanks so much for your performance on Saturday. It was hilarious and we got heaps of positive feedback. We really appreciate your work.
Best,
Job very well done — thanks, Rodney. My family and guests loved you. A couple asked me afterwards: “Was that guy really a lawyer?”.
I have this strange feeling that we will meet again.
All the best with your incredible career.
The night was a huge success.
Carlie Porteous, General Manager
Thanks for the laughs, it got me through!
Terese Adams, Administration and Project Support
Convincing, engaging & simply great fun. A must-have part of your next corporate event.
Anthony Ward, Bid Director
Great performance!
Megan Pullen, Bid Admin
We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for today! It was an enormous success, and definitely made everyone’s day/week/lockdown!
We will absolutely recommend and share your contact details with friends whose companies are looking for some light amusement and professional entertainment.
The event went really well, and you definitely brightened up everyone’s day and lifted peoples spirits in lock down.
The FMC ANZ Leadership team had a surprise visit from Prün Dåenisch last week. He may not have delivered on our anticipated business insights, but he sure gave us a good laugh!!
I met Rodney Marks (aka Prün Dåenisch) a few years ago at a business event and noticed recent social media on comedians finding it extremely tough at the moment. What a better time for some light hearted humour than now! Between intense working hours during COVID and the “heaviness” we all carry during these uncertain times!
I declare myself a very satisfied customer of the Prün Dåenisch manufacturing plant….thanks for leaving us chuckling throughout the day!!
Kristina Hermanson – Managing Director – ANZ
FMC Corporation Microsoft Teams meeting, 15 July 2020
It was fun, really fun. I would do it all again next weekend if I could. The printer and shredder being “co-located” still has me laughing.
Jeffrey Wilkinson – Executive Officer, Australian Veterinary Association, Royal Pines, Gold Coast, 29 October 2018
They were still talking about you today, a big hit! Thanks.
Marina Fronek – General Manager Channels and Alliances, Hewlett-Packard – Pt. Leo Estate, Mornington Peninsula VIC, 13 November 2018
It was a great night and we really appreciate you helping to make it so memorable. I could tell a lot of customised work went into it. I’ll be sure to pass it on to the board, including the life-size trophy (the Club President)!!
Ben Osborne – General Manager, City of Sydney Basketball Association, Albert Palais Grand Ballroom, Sydney, 12 October 2018
It was such a treat to see you as you and watch you perform in character. You were very funny and I loved your piece and you handled yourself superbly. Doing a piece that requires concentration in a room full of people who were getting looser by the moment – yikes! You were great!
Jean Kittson, comedian – emcee Rainmaker, The Ivy, Sydney, 14 June 2018
You were a hit. Everyone is still talking about your wonderful performance.
David Bell – CEO, Crosby Textor
Rodney, I think the invoice is a fake but we’ll pay it anyway. Great work.
PS: I’ve read you’re book too (Funny Business: Management Unmasked). It depressed me. I’ll never be as funny as you. Thanks for everything.
Yaron Finkelstein – Chief Executive Officer, Crosby Textor
C|T Group (Crosby|Textor), Lilianfels, Katoomba, 26 May 2018
It was a lot of fun. Everyone enjoyed it. Some will now look upon me with suspicion and one has warned me to watch my back 🙂
Tony Saliba – Director, International Key Accounts, Health Systems ASEAN Pacific, Singapore
Philips, The Fairmont, Leura, 11 April 2018
Thanks again for your great performance.
