Amazing Emcee!

Christine has served as our Annual Fun and Fitness Expo Emcee for three years running! She brings with her an amazing attitude, laughter and fun. Christine makes sure the event runs smoothly throughout the day with no lapse in entertainment and announcements! She is a professional and a true pleasure to work with. I would recommend her for any occasion!

Witty, Fun and Supportive! Emcee for Lip Sync Battle Event

Christine came to us when our original Emcee had to make a last minute change. Even with short notice, she did not disappoint! She was easy to work with in the days leading up to the event and greeted us with a huge smile when she arrived. We reviewed the show prior to start time and she also used that time to do some warm ups with our performers. Christine understood and followed the directions we gave her while showing her strength in improv throughout the night. Our audience was very specific (a fun group of Realtors) and she was very good at understanding and engaging with them. Being that this was an inaugural event, Christine's experience was very helpful. She helped us fill in the extra time that we hadn't anticipated and gave tips along the way to make sure the event ran smoothly. We couldn't have done it without Christine's amazing support and dedication to our group! Thanks Christine!

What to expect

• Recommendation: Laughing Lunch Sept 2014 - "How do you motivate, inspire and drive home a company message to your employees all at the same time? By hiring the Lazy Fairy Improv Group of Course! The intelligent, witty, fast paced, fun, audience participation, laughter- till-your-crying-out-loud, charismatic and educational experience rolled into one hour that will keep your group talking about it for days! We didn’t want a run of the mill meeting for our 30 employees brought in from all over the country. We explored team building options, motivational speakers, and many other ways to get our point across. Then we learned about the educational side of the Lazy Fairy Improv Group and instantly new this was the way to go! With little thought and direction, Christine, Joey and Cherie read our minds! They produced a show that spoke to everyone, leaving us wanting more when it was over and the standing ovation just said it all!

If laughter is truly the best medicine, then the Lazy Fairy Improv Group must be THE cure for ailing businesses!
I can’t thank them enough!" ~ Kimberly Bockover, Sales Manager, Savannah Preserve at University Place

About

Hello,

My name is Christine Alexander, and I love making people laugh! I always say, if it feels good to laugh, then laugh to feel good! I'm committed to providing a safe and courageous place for people to learn, have fun and play. There are no mistakes in my Laughter Workshops only applause and laughter.

What is a Laughter Workshop? It's an interactive, courageous, hilarious learning experience that brings people together as well as fosters creative and quick thinking.

Some Recommendations:
* Christine was an excellent headliner for our corporate associate appreciation event. She was fully engaged with the planning and design phases in order to ensure continuity of message and tone. Her preparation was evident, and the feedback from participants was outstanding. I am very grateful for the excellent results of our event. Our associates had a a great time and felt valued. - Laura Lynch, Bealls, Inc.

* I want to thank you so much for the class last night! It was GREAT! You really did create an environment that gave me the confidence I needed to get out of my comfort zone and "stretch," and it appeared to have had the same effect on the others in the class! It was a lot of fun!" ~ Jose Gonzales

* "Loads of fun! what a fantastic class! the first day i was honestly scared, within minutes of being around christine it is litereally impossible not to be comfterble! I can honestly say i havent laughed this hard in a long time!" Steve D.

Girls Night Out: "I invited Christine to lead an improv evening for myself and a group of friends. I asked her (or rather instructed her) to 'crack them open' and she did! It was no easy task considering the mostly reluctant introverts that were (link hidden)ristine arrived and immediately put everyone at ease. She created a fun space and skillfully brought forth inspired performances from everyone. We laughed to the point of tears and were deeply moved by moments of connection and synchronicity among us. It was truly an unforgettable evening. And one of the most reluctant participants has decided to seek out an improv group in her own city to continue the (link hidden)ristine is an improv master. The experience of love and laughter is guaranteed!" -With love and laughter -Deanna
