Eddie Francis

Eddie Francis is a versatile ball of energy in the media, public speaking and entertainment world. He is best known as the producer/co-host of Saturday morning talk show "Real Talk" on Q93 radio as well as the co-producer/contributor to "Sunday Journal" (2009 New Orleans Press Club "Best Radio Talk Show") on 98.5-WYLD radio.

Eddie has also been known to share his wit on stages as a stand-up comedian. He has been featured on Cox 10's "Comedy Boil" and had performed at DramaRama and the ACT I New Orleans Black Theater Festival. He hosts a monthly comedy room at Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club, and can be found serving as an event MC for functions throughout the New Orleans area.

But Eddie also draws from his experience at a 20+ year media veteran to deliver keynote addresses and workshops focused mainly on communications skills. And, yes, comedy is his best weapon when spreading his words of wisdom.

In 2000 Eddie was selected as one of New Orleans Magazine's "30 People to Watch".
