SUPERHUMANWITH AI
My identity experiment with stand-up.
What one year of stand-up taught me about keeping humanity human.
Your people are asking whether they still matter now that the machines are here.
Ken gives them the mechanism to answer yes.
Ken Cox spent one year doing stand-up comedy with AI as his partner—and learned what it really means to keep humanity human in the age of machines.
45 minute keynote

Up to 30 minutes Q&A
The problem
Your people are afraid.
And the brave ones feel guilty.
Every room Ken walks into is asking the same quiet question: do we still matter now that the machines are here?
The brave ones already use AI—quietly, like it’s cheating. They would never admit it in a meeting.
The rest are standing in line, waiting to find out if they are still needed.
Ken gives them something nobody else in the AI space does: permission. Permission to use these tools in public, in the open, without apology. And then the mechanism to do it without losing their voice—how to load an identity the machine assists instead of replaces.
Comfort in a fearful world. The machine assists. You author.
Bring the fight. Change the uniform.
See the keynote →The flagship keynote
An identity experiment performed in public.
In 2025, Ken Cox walked into a comedy club and declared a new identity: comedian. Then he did what he has done for forty years—he talked it out, out loud, and let AI help him hear the patterns.
Twelve months. Hundreds of stages. Nights that bombed and nights the room screamed his mantra back at him.
SUPERHUMAN WITH AI is what that year taught him: how to load an identity on purpose, how to use AI as a partner without handing it authority, and how to fight the twelve rounds every one of us faces.

Keynote video
coming soon.
Ken has performed on hundreds of comedy stages and spoken at public events. He has not yet performed this keynote, so there is no keynote reel to show you—and no borrowed footage pretending otherwise.
The first full recording of SUPERHUMAN WITH AI will live here after the show is performed and filmed.
SUPERHUMAN WITH AI
THE FIRST FILMED PERFORMANCE IS COMING. Until then: real stage history, honest positioning.What the room takes home
Not another AI lecture.
Your people leave with permission—and a way to move.
Audiences leave with a memorable system they can put to work Monday morning.
Loading Identity
Declare who you are becoming. Then make choices that give the new identity somewhere to live.
The 12 Rounds
Every round is the same fight: positivity or negativity, love or fear, progress or deterioration.
AI as Partner
Use AI to hear patterns, challenge assumptions, and amplify your work—without giving it the final word.
The Mechanism
Super Why → Armor → War → Amplify. The IDEAS sequence for carrying an identity into action.
Workshop formats
Turn the keynote into practice.
Three formats carry the identity, decision, and responsible-AI mechanisms into the team’s real work.
Loading Identity
The declaration-and-repetition mechanism as team exercises. Teams leave with a loaded identity statement and the reps to install it.
The 12 Rounds Session
Ken’s decision system—positivity or negativity, love or fear, progress or deterioration—applied to the team’s real fights.
IDEAS Team Intensive
Ken’s IDEAS framework as practical team exercises: purpose, resistance, action, and responsible amplification—how a team works with AI as workloads change instead of decaying around it.
Final curriculum is set with Ken when your engagement is scoped.
Keynote + workshops: $15,000–$60,000, scoped to your team and objectives.

The honest answers.
Has Ken performed this keynote before?
Not yet—and this site will not pretend otherwise. Ken has performed stand-up on hundreds of stages and spoken at public events for years. SUPERHUMAN WITH AI is his new flagship keynote and it is now booking. The entry pricing ($10,000–$15,000) is deliberate while he builds keynote history—it is the entry price of a new keynote, not a discount.
What will our people take home?
Two things nobody else gives them: permission to use AI in public without apology, and the mechanism to do it without losing their voice—Loading Identity, the 12 Rounds decision system, AI as partner, and the IDEAS sequence for carrying it into action Monday morning.
Will Ken customize the keynote for our industry?
Ken speaks on his topics—identity, agency, and building with AI. The stories, examples, and workshop exercises adapt to the room; the message does not get rewritten to order.
What is the format?
Approximately 45 minutes of keynote, followed by Ken’s original 3-minute stand-up close tailored to your audience, with up to 30 minutes of Q&A. Allow up to 78 minutes for the full session; Q&A length can fit your event schedule.
What about workshops?
Half-day and full-day formats, scoped to your team and objectives. Keynote + workshops: $15,000–$60,000.
What does it cost?
Keynote: $10,000–$15,000. Keynote + workshops: starting at $15,000, up to $60,000 scoped. Travel is separate. Mission-aligned events—schools, gyms, and recovery communities—go through a separate path.
How far in advance should we book?

Can we record or photograph the keynote?
Talk to us at booking. Ken is filming early performances for his own reel, so recording terms are agreed per event.
The framework beneath the story
Human agency, strengthened by the machine—not surrendered to it.
The keynote carries one clear idea: AI can amplify the person you are becoming, but it cannot choose that person for you.
Explore Loading Identity →Loading Identity
Identity is not a label you wait to earn. It is a declaration followed by repetitions.
The 12 Rounds
A durable way to recognize the choices inside any fight—recovery, leadership, reinvention, or change.
IDEAS in the room
For teams, the keynote can be extended into practical exercises around purpose, resistance, action, and responsible amplification.
Main Street first
Built for people in a real fight.
The story starts with one human being choosing a new identity. That plays in a boardroom, a school auditorium, a boxing gym, or a recovery community because the choice underneath it is universal.
Companies & associations
For leaders and teams learning how to use AI while preserving judgment, authorship, and accountability.
Main Street events
For entrepreneurs, builders, creators, and local rooms where reinvention is not theoretical.
Schools & young adults
For audiences forming identities while machines increasingly influence how they see themselves.
Recovery communities
For people who understand that every meaningful transformation is fought one round at a time.
Why Ken
The story was lived before it was packaged.
Ken is an entrepreneur, technology operator, author, podcast host, boxer, and comedian. He has built companies, infrastructure, media, AI systems, and recovery tools—and repeatedly stepped into rooms where the next version of him had to be earned in public.
On stage, that range becomes candid storytelling, useful tension, hard-earned perspective, and humor that serves the idea.
About Ken
