What is corporate comedy?
Corporate comedy is professional comedy built for a working audience: clean, clever, appropriate for every age in the room, and written so HR laughs as hard as everyone else. Everyone has a great time, and your organization looks brilliant for booking it.
Why book live comedy for a corporate event or gala?
Nothing else on an agenda does what shared laughter does. People who laugh together leave as people who experienced something together, and that feeling outlasts every slide deck of the day.
What makes an improv comedy show different?
No script, no rehearsal. The show is powered by the people in the room, so your audience is not watching a performance that could happen anywhere. They are watching one that can only happen here.
Will the comedy fit our audience?
Yes, because it is built for them. We learn your organization and your crowd before anyone takes the stage, and the material is calibrated to the room, not pulled from a generic set.
Would a hypnosis show fit a corporate event?
It is one of the best fits there is. A comedy hypnosis show focuses the comedy and the engagement on your audience, which is exactly what a corporate room wants. It works in fundraising environments as well, and it has anchored events for major fundraising partners.
Is it safe for volunteers on stage?
Yes. Stage safety for professionals is the standard: volunteers are treated with care and put first at every moment, and full liability insurance comes with every booking.
What types of entertainment fit a corporate or gala environment?
Emcees, comedians, magicians, mentalists, hypnotists, musicians, keynote speakers, and variety and specialty acts. The test is not the discipline, it is the fit: professional polish, appropriate content, and an act matched to the room and the goal of the night.
How do we choose the right entertainment for our event?
Start with what the night needs to accomplish and who is in the audience. Tell us both and we will match the talent to it. That is the part of the booking process we have done for thirty years.
How much does corporate entertainment cost?
The first answer is a question back: what is your budget for entertainment? Cost varies widely with the artist, the date, the time of year, the equipment needed, sound and staging, the number of performances, and more. The budget conversation is where every good booking starts.
How far does your talent travel?
Nationwide. Travel is part of the conversation from the first call, not a surprise on the invoice.
Where are your rankings from?
The Bash has ranked us the #1 booked comedy act nationwide for four straight years, and #1 for fundraising for the last two. That is six-plus years running as one of the most booked acts in the country.
How far in advance should we book entertainment?
As early as you can. The best talent's calendar fills first, and holiday season and spring gala season go fastest.
