MY
TWISTED
LIFE
Stories from the edge. Told with heart. No filters, no fluff.
“I’m not a keynote guy. I’m a real story guy. But if you want your audience to laugh, flinch, and maybe rethink their lives—let’s talk.”
Doug Schwartz brings over 30 years of media mischief, memoir-worthy screwups, and street-level wisdom to stages, studios, and storytelling panels across the country. Whether it’s a room of college kids or a warehouse full of burnt-out creatives—he shows up honest, hilarious, and unfiltered.
