Now more than ever, laughter is needed as a tool, not only for battling the stress of cancer, but stress in life! And Scott Burton delivers like no one else!

He is a survivor of a high grade osteo sarcoma (a childhood cancer, though diagnosed as an adult).  Treatment included a year of chemo and a cadaveric bone resection (bone transplant).  Before his diagnosis, Scott was a headlining stand-up comic and world-class juggler, performing with Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld and writing for prime-time TV.

With his unique take on adversity, Scott speaks internationally with an inspiring and laughter-filled keynote that calls for humanity and passion (on both sides of the stethoscope) throughout the cancer battle.

But Scott's program is not just the story of cancer. It is the story of LIFE! We are all survivors. Scott's program hits home for everyone who faces a battle in life. Breast Cancer Awareness, Melanoma Symposiums, Young Adult Cancers, Women's Health Fairs, Sarcoma, Head & Neck Cancers and a wide range of chronic disease symposiums, Scott's story is not only relatable to all groups, but fills them with laughter and energy.

His unique fusion of clean comedy, world-class juggling and profound cancer stories makes for one of the most talked about programs available. Read reviews below -

Also, his widely acclaimed book, A Life in the Balance - a hilarious and touching account of his experience, makes a wonderful companion to his show.




"From the moment Scott began his program, the auditorium was filled with non-stop laughter.  Not only laughter, but screams of laughter!  Some of our guests laughed so hard they had tears flowing.  His unique comedy style, juggling talent and his way of storytelling is unmatched. " Rachel Füss

"Scott Burton is an incredible entertainer! With his experience as a survivor, juggler and wonderful story teller, he eloquently weaves all three components into a fabulous presentation.

"Wow! Where do I even begin to thank you for your wonderful presentation at St. Joseph's Hospital in Atlanta? The part of the evaluations that one cannot portray on paper is the opportunity that you provided individuals to laugh who I have NEVER seen laugh in the many years that I have known them."

"Scott Burton = EXCELLENT SPEAKER!  I have had several employees come to me and tell me that this was our BEST banquet EVER!  What a compliment!

Scott was funny and touched everyone that was in that room - 500 people.  He made his experience with cancer a journey we could all relate to.  Although cancer is not funny...you would have never known it by the laughter that we heard!  He had all of us - men, women, young, old, housekeeper, doctor - laughing hysterically.

Excellent Excellent Speaker"

“Excellent was checked by everyone.  One comment was, “Seeing a bunch of old ladies belly laugh hysterically was terrific!”  It was incredible and more than I could have ever wished for. Everyone loved it and we’re still talking about you. You kept us laughing and touched upon very emotional aspects of cancer as well.  It was such a wonderful experience, and as my boss said, “The best one yet”!" Jan Sullivan

"Again you were the high point of the conference as witnessed through the evaluations.  Many people rated you as a 10 or a 5+++ on a scale of 1 to 5, and 5 being the best.  One person wrote, “Scott was Absolutely THE BEST! Please have him back.” Susan Kramer
