February 17, 2023We hired Melissa Diaz to do a 15 minute show in the middle of our awards Gala. She did a great job and had everybody laughing. It was a virtual event, but you could see that people were in stitches. She had tailored her show to our audience, and it worked very well. She made it a very successful event for us.

Fun, edgy jokes delivered dry, followed by energetic act outs/rants. A few fun stories peppered into the act for variety. Jokes are often described as smart and well written, delivery as fun and engaging.
