STAND-UP COMEDY IN CANADA

Stand-up comedy is considered the standard for the industry. For private parties for families and company entertainment for corporate events around the country, comedians are a great choice. We have earned a reputation for creating a variety of shows that could be themed, could have teams of comedians or could bring a headliner to keep your group laughing. From Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler in British Columbia, to Edmonton, Calgary and Banff in Alberta, to Toronto and the rest of the GTA, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Ottawa in Ontario, and Montreal and Mont Tremblant in Quebec, THEY have you covered!

ABOUT US CONTACT US

Whether for a private party for family gatherings or a corporate event, we have seen it all and can help your group get great entertainment. We know that your event is not a comedy club. The normal fare of club comedians is not appropriate for your group. Our performers have clean material and know how to adjust to the audience at hand. We are friendly in general, and family-friendly in performance.

Entertaining your group can take many forms. The most standard format is a stand-up comedian getting in front of your group and providing a comedic evening for everyone. The comedians can come from different backgrounds and their observations can come from a variety of sources. They often will interact with the audience and create improvisational moments that can surprise them.

Different Laughs for Different Budgets

We can produce shows with different levels of experience or different numbers of comedians to meet your budget needs. Let us know how you would like the evening and we can produce a show for you!

Person of Honor

We can bring someone from the audience on stage and possibly roast them or honor them in some way appropriate for the occasion.

Specialized Themes

We can theme an evening based on holidays, history or just about anything. We can even provide a white collar comedy tour or golfers.

Tropical Punch Comedy Rooms

Ask us about having more regular shows at your venue. We can produce regular shows on weekly, monthly or quarterly schedules and even help organize Open Mics.

These shows can have one performer, multiple performers, or even themed nights. The comedians could all be golfers, cowboys, rappers, or just about any other kind of comedian that exists. We'd discuss the event with your facility and they can provide appropriate decorations for the evening.

Depending on the size of the audience, you would likely want to have a stand microphone with appropriate speakers. As this show is often in a banquet room, it is all the more important that people spread out throughout the room can all hear the show. Of course if you have a more intimate group, sometimes it's better to have no technical assistance to have a more natural and intimate show. Keep in mind that this technical choice is yours and you take responsibility for the sound in the room and that every comedian might have their own desired equipment and settings.

Similarly, you may wish to have staging and lights. Having a raised stage allows people further away from the stage to see more clearly and for voices to project. The lights allow for the lights to be dropped for the audience. An audience in the dark allows for people to laugh without the worry that other people were looking at them, which can hinder enjoyment. Likewise, adequate air conditioning helps. It may be counter intuitive but keeping an audience cool helps to warm them up.

OUR GREEN COMMITMENT While ultimately we serve our clients in the way that they require, we work hard to reduce the carbon footprint of any event. We recycle, utilize local talent when preferable, and look to leave places better than we found them. When we do travel, we take pains to reduce our impact on the environment.

A stand-up comedy show is a great way to entertain your group. Contact us to discuss potential themes of shows and comedians that might fit your needs. Of course, these shows are largely budget driven. We can bring different levels of talent to your event depending on your budget. More experienced comedians cost more. Likewise, named comedians tend to be more expensive. Call us and discuss the options that might fit your budgetary needs.

WE COME TO YOU !
We come to whatever venue that you choose. This can include any area restaurant, hotel, conference facility, convention hall or even someone's home. We work with the venue to ensure a smooth operation. This includes working with their team to coordinate their sound, stage and lighting. We can provide sound equipment, etc., as well, but for an additional fee, though we usually opt to use the venue's equipment. Of course for smaller groups, no equipment is required and not using microphones enhances the intimacy of the show.

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

WHAT IS THE OCCASION?

The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS? WHERE? WHEN? HOW MANY PEOPLE?

We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options and have a better feel for the resources required.

DO YOU HAVE A BUDGET IN MIND?

If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to provide less than we could realizing the resources that could be made available to better achieve your goals.
