Here's what other comedy students have said about our program:

"Thanks so much for the awesome seminar and classes. As I reread my notes last night, I felt motivated and positive about my career because I got so many ideas to gain control and give my dream a kickstart it needed. I can't wait to show the world what I can do!I I learned so much about what really matters in comedy and getting to the heart of myself and what I want to put out there. The material we worked on together will be part of my repertoire forever! "

~ Erin Mulville

"The seminar was the icing on the cake. Between the classes and seminar, this has to be the best deal in town"

~ Phil Sweet

The seminar was phenomenal. You really got me thinking about my brand and how I'm going to carve out my niche in this industry. I talked to a bunch of other comics from the class and seminar and they had a similar reaction.

~ Kath Williams

Thanks so much Bernie and Jessica. The whole experience was fabulous! This is about so much more than comedy. You are both a part of my journey and that is my life. I am looking forward to more with you guys.

~ Julie McCormick

The closer you are to a large city, the more comedians there are to choose from and supply and demand will work in your favor. Most comedians understand that travel is part of the comedy business so don't worry if you are 4 or 5 hours drive from a major city. But if you are out in the "sticks" and you want a great show, you can expect to have to flip the bill for air fare. This typically will add a few hundred dollars to the bill.

Price - Let me guess... you don't want to spend a lot? Good news is that you don't have to spend too much to get a comedian for your event. However, you must also realize that any comedian who is extremely funny, is getting a decent paycheck for what they do. So experience and skill will cost you. You can also expect to pay a few bucks more for a comedian that does extremely conservative or "clean" act because their are fewer of them and so they can charge more. Most people are looking for a PG13 rated comedian who will be able to perform adult subject matter with limited or no cursing. This type of comedian can do 45 to 90 minutes of extremely funny material and they generally charge $1200 to $3500 per show. You will find comedians who will work for less than these prices, however our experience with no-shows and offensive material has lead us to no longer offer "budget acts". On occasion you can get a better deal if your comedy event is on an "off" day or your show is on a travel day in the comedians area at that time. Depending on the venue and comedian, you may be required to supply a PA system and lighting. Do not try and save money by using a banquet room ceiling-type PA system for comedy, because the poor sound quality will drastically reduce the quality of the show. Not to mention that the comedian will hate you after the show...lol.

Type of shows - We believe that some comedians have better shows for private events than they do for comedy clubs. Knowing what type of comedian to use for what type of event is something we are very good at and take pride in doing. There are straight stand up comedians, ventriloquist comedians, magician comedians, acrobat comedians, prop comedians, comedy teams, musical comedians and so many more styles to choose from. So we would need to learn a bit about your event in order to suggest what type of comedian would work best for you.

Private or public shows - There are many things that are done differently based on what type of comedy audience will be at your event so please take a moment to read our short info sheet on "

Well that's the basic info that you need to know. Anything more would really just be a bunch of fluff and BS to try and sell you on our company. We have been doing business for over 20 years and the majority of our business is from word of mouth and referrals so we didn't feel that it was necessary to go crazy with an elaborate website marketing campaign. So if you would like to give us a shot, we would love the opportunity to prove ourselves and add you to our growing list of satisfied customers that we are also happy to call friends. We are pretty down to earth people and our business is making people laugh so you can expect a great experience when doing business with us. We wish you the best of success with your event no matter what company you choose. Standup Stand up Stand-Up Comedy Comedian Comedians Comic Comics Booking Agencies
