Roaster for a 60th Birthday

I hired Ace Aceto, through Nathanson Comedy and he was truly a gem! He arrived early to get to know the audience as a guest. His recon work paid off and he was the perfect addition to our party. The Birthday Boy was surprised and loved the entire roast. Ace has the gift of knowing how far to go and how to read the audience. Thank you Dana and Ace for a wonderful Birthday Roast. The entire party really enjoyed the event and I could not have asked for anything more.

So much funny!

Dana helped me get Bill Simas with just two weeks notice and he was hilarious. This was for a surprise 50th bday party and this headliner truly was the highlight of the party! Both Dana and Bill were so easy to communicate with. I previously had another comedian booked from an entirely different company; that comedian canceled on me 2 weeks prior to the event. Dana thought I was punking her as she heard the details of this and that I was looking for a headliner comedian just 2 weeks out....but boy I tell you she delivered! Can't wait to book again, it was that good!

Audience Favorite

I hired Joe for my fundraiser and the crowd loved him. We had a very successful night and the audience loved the show. Several people asked if I can have him back again.

What to expect

Our comedians arrive on time to your event, equipped with a professional sound system, (unless other arrangements have been made), and ready to perform to ensure your guests a professional comedy show and you, with a stress-free evening.

Our shows range from mild to wild, so we'll need to know what kind of an event you are having before we recommend a comedian. Besides our 30 years of booking experience, we have access to a database of 400 pro comedians.

About

My name is Dana Nathanson. I was General Manager of two of New England's premier Comedy Clubs for over 25 years. I am now the Senior Director of the Rhode Island Comedy Hall of Fame, where I oversee the comedy talent. I only book headlining comedians. No amateurs or beginners. You may pay a little more, but I guarantee you'll never have a better comedy show. Feel free to contact me anytime, so we can discuss your needs.

Additional booking notes

The venue should have electrical access close to the stage area. We provide professional sound for up to 200 people during a comedy show. If you plan on a larger audience, please contact us in advance. Our DJ's are equipped to handle audiences of up to 500 guests.
