Leigh Rubin Live in Person Events

Have a Real-Life Cartoonist Speak at Your Next
Conference, Meeting or Event!

Nobody finds more fun and inspiration in dogs, cows, cats, kids, religion, weird and quirky people and just plain life in general like Leigh Rubin. His witty streak of humor shines through in his comic panel, Rubes, where the animals take on humanlike attitudes and the people behave, well, um, oddly. Sometimes silly, sometimes irreverent but always hilarious, Rubes has grown to be standard fare in newspapers around the globe, 365 days a year.

"Maybe you could call me a sit-down comedian," Rubin muses. "Whatever you call it, I'm just gratified I have the opportunity to make other people laugh." Delighting millions daily with his internationally syndicated cartoon, Rubes, Leigh Rubin inspires, motivates and entertains.

Through humor, Leigh emphasizes the rewards of persistence and the fun of problem solving while celebrating the joy of creativity. Leigh's fast-paced and fun-filled presentations have gained a reputation for inspiring those who attend to add a little creativity to their own lives. Rubin said he tries to inspire people to break their normal routine of looking at things and think outside of the box, even though he himself has to draw inside a box.
