Last night I had the extreme honor of working with Al Madrigal from The Daily Show. He was our fabulous and funny Emcee and I the Auctioneer. I'm going to admit that I do not watch The Daily Show so I had no idea who he was or what an honor it was to work with him. I figured it out halfway through the Charity Auction. Al and I shared the stage during the Live Auction and I love when that happens. His banter with me and the audience, his funny quips really turned the auction into a "show". We had a natural connection which the audience connected with and enjoyed watching.
The Live Auction was slated to have only 2 auction items, however 2 other auctions items were spontaneously donated on the spot during the live auction. We ended with 4 fabulous items which was a surprise for me and the client as well.
As a Charity Auctioneer, I'm always ready to improvise, think on my feet and go where the night takes me. And last night Al & I brought the client to a new level in their fundraising dollars and participation from the guests.
