From a 10-year-old kid doing shows in the kitchen for his “Gram” to becoming a 3-time“Best of Las Vegas” winner, Jeff Civillico has always had a heart to connect with people. He wants to make you laugh, to make you smile, to make you cheer! Jeff wants you to leave lighter and brighter, taking a ripple of happiness with you. Jeff’s genuine love for performing, his business savvy and his signature grit proved to be a winning combination— heralded as the youngest Producer/Headliner in Las Vegas, named “Entertainer of the Year” and voted “Best of Las Vegas” 3 years in a row.
After a decade’s success with his Vegas residency, Jeff knew it was time to expand his platform, reach, and impact. He felt the need to move beyond performing 6 nights a week(for 10 years!) to focus more on developing his connection and communication skills as a host personality, facilitator, and keynote speaker.
And as one of the busiest speakers on the circuit today, his message and approach are clearly resonating! Jeff was recently conferred by the National Speakers Association with the “Certified Speaking Professional” (CSP) credential, a designation held by only 1.5% of speakers worldwide. And he is one of the youngest ever inductees into the National Speakers Association’s”Speaker Hall of Fame.” The Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE) is a lifetime award for speaking excellence and professionalism.
Jeff believes in maximizing one’s utility through action, and he lives by example. He consistently creates and develops projects to help others, which as a byproduct gives his life deeper purpose and meaning. His nonprofit Win Win Charity, his Cisko Soundscholarships, and his most recent venture “Laughter without Borders,” a philanthropic travel show, are all shining examples of his impact in action.
Jeff believes that we all put positive ripples out into the world that expand well beyond our knowledge and awareness… and he’s on a mission to help you see that too!

Work That Matters is a customized, interactive, entertainment-based keynote experience that highlights the inherent value of the individual – personally and professionally – within a team/organization. Throughout Jeff’s presentation, individuals consider their role within a broader context. Jeff gives franchisees tools to better understand themselves and their work, enabling them to embrace their unique individuality while “linking arms” to become part of something bigger.
Jeff has developed a unique brand of entertainment he calls Comedy in Action– a delightful blend of physical comedy, action-packed stunts, and world class juggling/balancing with friendly audience interaction and a ridiculous amount of energy!
In this philanthropic team building activity created and hosted by Jeff Civillico, franchise attendees assemble care kits that get delivered to a local children’s hospital in your event city.
“Succeeding in Sync” is an interactive, team building juggling workshop tailored specifically to the corporate market. Jeff transforms the process of “learning how to juggle” into a metaphor for tackling any new task, and can tailor this specific activity to franchise audiences. Jeff deconstructs the art of juggling into a systematic process that can be learned by all who are willing to step out of their comfort zone. Everyone works together to achieve a desired outcome.
Every event has a different energy, a different vibe… with different goals and themes. A good emcee ties all the event elements together. Handles intros and outros, fills in the gaps between presenters. A great emcee does all that and MORE… they bring real VALUE. Professional emcees like Jeff Civillico keep your event on time and task, but also make sure your attendees are engaged and connecting with speakers – and each other – throughout the day. As one of the top professional emcees working today, Jeff has hosted countless general sessions, awards shows, multi-day conferences, fundraisers, and virtual events.
“Jeff Civillico is the REAL Deal! Not just a comedy act or a juggler, but he’s the entire package! Jeff kept our audience engaged from start to finish and his emcee skills were impeccable and absolutely impressive. His flexibility and positive attitude made working with Jeff a breeze and an absolute pleasure. Jeff’s has a unique talent at making connections with all attendees from entry level employees all the way to c-level executives…our entire team LOVED him and I can’t wait for the opportunity to work with Jeff again!”

“Power Plan got an extra boost of POWER yesterday with Jeff Civillico as our host. The feedback received from those who attended included words like “energy,” “engaging, “so fun,’ and “time flew by”… and that speaks directly to how prepared and professional Jeff is to work with on your event. Whether it’s in person or in the virtual space, he sets the bar for being the best in what he does. And that he comes with the technical back end, makes it an even better package. Would we work with him again? Without a doubt, yes.”
RJ Auto, Automotive Advertising Sales Manager
“Jeff was awesome! He took all the worry out of this virtual party and made everything run smoothly. His improv with our folks was so funny! He was so entertaining! Chris Johnston with Truthful Studio was wonderful doing all the spotlighting and muting and technical part of the event. I would never have been able to do this by myself. Jeff and Chris made the perfect pair to keep the celebration running like clockwork.”

He engages the audience in a sincere, fun, yet informative way. Jeff makes an impactful difference mostly because he genuinely cares about the event and our organization, taking the time to learn the ins and outs of what makes us special and then stunningly conveys our mission to the audience as if he has been an integral part for years! It wouldn’t be ‘Get Launched Vegas’ without Jeff Civillico!”
