Comedy: The Musical

"Comedy: The Musical mixes standup and musical theater to create an unconventional, irresistible subgenre... comedians tell jokes, improvisers riff on them in witty songs, and the audience goes along for the whole strange and wonderful ride." - Willamette Week

Every show is unique and feels like a party! You can expect hilarious jokes and songs that are created on the spot, inspired by the comedian's punchlines. Our show is fun, campy, and high energy.

Your hosts are Chelsea Burns and Jaren George. We'll perform stand-up comedy and hire the comedians and musicians. If you have any favorite comedians that you'd like us to book, please let us know. We've had celebrities perform at our shows in the past, and we may be able to book national acts, depending on budget and availability.

We have several musical improvisers we love working with and are happy to travel. Depending on where the show takes place, we might decide to work with local musical improvisers in your area.

Here are a couple of booking options:

60 minutes - 3 comedians will do stand-up comedy, including Chelsea and Jaren. Each comedy set will be followed up by a funny song that's made up on the spot. Our musicians will play 3 songs total, and may add a cover song at the end of your choosing.

90 minutes - 4 comedians will do stand-up comedy, including Chelsea and Jaren who will start the show with fun, improvisational riffing. Our musicians will play 5 songs total, and may add a cover song at the end of your choosing.

Every show has its own musical theme. Let us know what theme you'd like, or we'll be happy to pick one out!

We have a lot of our technical equipment that we can bring for an additional fee, but if your venue already has a great sound system, we'll work with that. Please feel free to ask us about tech specs, and we'll get back to you quickly.

Let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to working with you!
