Speaker Highlights

Brad Nieder, M.D.

A general practitioner by training, Dr. Brad Nieder is now more of a specialist in "Healthy Humor." Indeed, he has successfully combined the worlds of humor and health care. He's a lot like the world famous Patch Adams...except he's not world famous.

As an undergraduate student at Stanford, Brad was a founding member of the Simps comedy troupe. While a medical student at the University of Colorado, he frequently performed stand-up comedy for both live audiences…and cadavers. He then took his unique style out east when he went to the Medical College of Virginia for his residency training.

He's a coauthor of the book "Humor Me," which features his popular poem of wellness advice. And - this is exciting! - he recently signed a deal with HBO! No…wait, he actually signed a deal with an H-M-O.

He lives in Denver and travels throughout the country spreading his message that "Laughter is the Best Medicine."
