  • Comedian, Actor and Keynote Speaker Reggie Brown challenges our understanding of perception, image and realizing truth through a powerful and comedic experiment.
    It's getting harder to recognize truth from fiction in our everyday lives. We are being bombarded with so much information, misinformation, conflicting studies, "alternate facts", etc..
    Reggie shows us firsthand how easy it is for our perception to be thrown off .
    Watch as he presents a false physical image to the audience that is immediately processed and recognized as truth with mind, body and emotional reactions from the audience. He challenges us to look deeper to find that life is more than meets the eye. Audio visual provided by Repertoire Productions repertoireproductions.com/ Comedian, Actor and Keynote Speaker Reggie Brown challenges our understanding of perception, image and realizing truth through a powerful and comedic experiment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Theoretical perspectives are the basic assumptions about how society functions, the role of sociology, and the application of a specific set theories in studying social life.
    -- Society is a unified whole that seeks equilibrium
    -- Society is composed of groups competing for scare resources
    -- Social life can be measured through observing daily interactions
    -- Sociology should be used to enact social change
    -- Sociology should be value free

    This has been his whole life--and business--for almost ten years. Imagine that all you do is go around being paid to do the same impersonation over and over, for a decade.

      Hi Robert. It's been an incredible ride. Every performance is tailored to each of my clients and it has been fun and challenging to make Obama fun and entertaining to every audience all over the globe

      @@IamReggieBrown Don't bother about the troll!
      People do what pays them to put food on the table.
      If repeating impersonation pays you well why switch to something else? Infact it eases your work cos you easily perfect your work. Secondly your audiences know in advance you impersonate and they pay to watch you so why is that someone else's problem?
      Let the troll also tell sportsmen to quit repeating their acts. I mean, footballers repeat kicking the ball just like basketballers keeping throwing the ball into the hoop through out their careers.
      Bro'man keep doing what people pay you for!

    Somebody know the name of the impersonator of Trump that the impersonator of Kin Jong is partner? I see a video of they in a Autralia tv show, but nobody mention the name of him. The name of Kin Jong Un impersonator is Howard, I guess.

    "Here's a bunch of famous people I've met. Here's my billionaire friend. Here's a picture of me looking like none of you will ever look." I perceive someone is trying to prove something with their image.

    • @rainbird8370

      Beauty is only skin deep. Regardless, Obama doesn’t have a handsome bone in his body and fake Michelle is a real woman.
