As a stand-up show / performance, we are about as low maintenance a production as you can get. We are equipped with sound equipment if need be. If so, for over 50 people we will need electrical plug in and extension chord. There are certainly factors that are more conducive to creating an optimum environment for comedy but not have all or any of them are not deal breakers.

A stage is always great if available but a small riser or platform if sufficient and if need be it's no problem to perform on ground level.

Seating for all or some of the audience is definitely ideal. That being said we have performed with guests standing.

Indoors definitely beats outdoors for comedy but again, we can make it work if out door works better for you.

Not competing with television or other auditory distractions is preferred. #Timing

Please let us know if you have any specific restrictions on language or subject matter. If so we can accommodate but need to be made aware at time of booking in as much detail as you can provide. * We love to talk so we can discuss on phone (if possible) or over the app here.

Payment of balance due is expected immediately upon arrival so we can get that out of the way and focus on what we are at your event to do, make you laugh.

We are willing and happy travel any distance. Travel compensation will be factored into our fee. Depending on travel distance, time of show, and if your booking more than 1 comedian to be at your event, it may be necessary budget in hotel.
