Improv & Stand-Up Comedy
Holiday Party Events
Ditch the ugly sweater contest. This year, your team is the entertainment.
Bring in an improv and stand‑up comedy holiday party led by a paid, professional comedian who also spent six and a half years in the C‑suite. No experience needed, nobody gets put on the spot, and everyone leaves with a story worth telling.
December dates go first. Book by October 31st for the early bird rate.
After October 31st, rates increase to $150 per person.
Eight Ways to Throw the Party
Holiday Stand-Up Showcase
A 90-minute stand-up crash course. Everyone writes a clean, two-minute set about the team's year, then the session ends in a live show, performed in front of a real room. Best for: teams that want the story everyone retells in January.
The Office Awards
Teams invent funny, kind awards for each other (Most Likely to Unmute Mid-Sentence, anyone?), then present them in an improvised awards show that I host. Add-on: printed award certificates. (ask about groups larger than 25)
Improv & Networking Social
Improv games designed to get people talking to someone new. Built for cross-department parties, newly merged teams, and rooms full of new hires. Great for groups that don't all know each other yet.
Client Appreciation Night
You host your clients; I lead an improv workshop built around connection. Quick, low-pressure games get your clients and your team collaborating, laughing, and talking to each other. Best for: thanking your best clients with something they'll remember.
Year-in-Review Improv
Send me your team's real wins, launches, and inside jokes ahead of time. I turn them into improv scenes, so the year gets celebrated without anyone giving a speech. Best for: teams that had a big year and want to mark it.
The Toast Lab
Everyone learns a simple structure for a 60-second toast that lands. The party closes with a round of toasts from the team. Add-on: a one-hour 1:1 session to prepare your CEO's holiday remarks.
Remote Teams Holiday Lab
A virtual party on Zoom or Teams, built from improv games that actually work on camera. No venue, no travel, and your whole distributed team in one room. Best for: remote and hybrid teams across time zones.
The Holiday Game Show
Teams compete in improv challenges in a game-show format, with me as your host. You supply the prizes; I supply the pressure. Best for: sales teams and anyone who likes to win.
Serious expertise.
Unserious delivery.
Nine years as a paid, professional stand-up comedian and improviser in New York, with Stand-Up NY as my home club and sets at the Comedy Cellar, Gotham, Caroline's, and the Comic Strip. Twenty-five years in business, including six and a half in the C-suite of a $450M social enterprise. I know how to make a room of colleagues laugh, and what HR needs to hear before you book.
