MEET MARTY



Around the World in 90 Minutes is a high-energy show/lecture presented by multi-award-winning author Marty Essen. It features interesting facts, humorous stories, and the best of the thousands of photos he took while traveling the world for his book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents.


One part lecture, one part theater, one part slide show, one part comedy—Around the World in 90 Minutes is the type of show where the audience has fun laughing at the stories, oohing and aahing at the photos, and then, when it's all done, they realize just how much they've learned.
