Dre Koval

Dre created and performed an original comedy act as part of her Jazz Dads comedy band, a funny musical concept she brought to the entertainment portion of our event. She played original songs, fully embodied a hilarious ‘dad’ character, and had everyone cracking up. Her performance was smart, unexpected, and so fun. A true original. I’d absolutely bring her back anytime.

We brought Dre in for a startup showcase event, and she absolutely nailed it. Her set was original, smart, and wildly refreshing. She had the entire room — founders, funders, and even a few jaded VCs — genuinely laughing.

Her material was smart and surprising, with just the right mix of absurdity and heart. The founders couldn’t stop quoting her lines the next day. We’re already planning to bring her back for future events and yes, we might even fund her podcast.

Highly recommend for any team or event that needs a reset — or just a sharp, hilarious break from the usual.

Dre brought the perfect mix of humor and heart to our retreat. Her set was laugh-out-loud funny, but also really thoughtful — the kind of comedy that makes people feel seen. You could tell the audience was both cracking up and deeply connecting. Professional, warm, and incredibly quick-witted. Highly recommend for any event that could use a boost of joy and grounded brilliance.
