Scott Long

Scott brings truthful stories about his life growing up in the Midwest and living in Indiana. He also incorporates the audience which is why no 2 Scott Long shows are ever the same. An added bonus offered is the deluxe package where Scott will write specific material for your group. Scott can do a no-profanity PG-rated show or an R-rated show, depending on what you are looking for. His biggest promise is never leaving an audience not totally satisfied with his performance!

WHY NOT HIRE THE BEST OF THE MIDWEST? Seen on NBC, FOX-TV, the Bob and Tom Show, plus a his latest standup special on Amazon Prime! He has also has been a regular on Indy local TV and Radio like Smiley morning Show, The Ride with JMV, and Fox 59 morning Show.

Scott Long is known for his hysterical takes on workplace insanity and growing up with a crazy family. His newest material about how they Midwest is better than LA and NY has been getting rave reviews. Growing up in Iowa and spending his standup career in Chicago and Indianapolis, Scott is proof you can be a nationally touring comedian while living in the Midwest. Besides his standup, for the past 13 seasons Scott has been a writer for Frank Caliendo's NFL sketches for ESPN and the NFL on FOX.

WARNING: Hiring a comedian is not like hiring a plumber. If you go for the lowest bid, there's a great chance you could wind up with someone who isn't funny and even worse--could be very offensive in their material, despite their claims. I've been performing standup for the past 20 years, at all the major comedy clubs and have done hundreds of corporate comedy events to rave reviews. (see below) Don't let a few hundred dollars stand in the way of having a great event your attendees will be talking about for a long time. The inexperienced comics on here cause me to bring my price quotes down from my regular agency fee, so Gig Salad is good for you!

Let us give you an example of the level of what Scott's professional clean comedy will get you. This review was from a show in October 2014 which had an average age of 75 & even one woman over 100. Here's the post-review...

We hosted a client appreciation event and Scott did a great job in his presentation. Our client list included many retirees and Scott was able to relate very well to them. I have received many compliments from the attendees with how much they enjoyed the evening.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT SCOTT

We look forward to using Scott at our next event.

-Mike of The College Network

Amy of the Trane/American Standard HVAC Dealers (Overland Park, Kansas)

Scott Long was the perfect addition to the Metropolis Superman Celebration! With our first time trying a comedian, Scott exceeded our expectations. He was hilarious and totally connected with the audience. He was a great fit for our unique festival and customized his show by adding some Superman jokes to his routine! He left the audience well satisfied with his witty material. Scott was a pleasure to work with. We would DEFINITELY recommend Scott Long as a comedian for any event!I

Karla of the Annual Metropolis Superman Festival

I hired Scott Long as a comedian and MC for the 2015 Beam Suntory Ohio Bartender Whiskey Competition. This was a very big event with a very select audience and demographic. I had extremely high expectations of what we wanted for the event and really relied on Scott Long to pull through. Scott exceeded all expectations and really “wowed” our audience. Everyone was talking about him and he created that “buzz” in the room. He is a true professional and really prepared for the event. He acted with the highest respect and professionalism and did a tremendous amount of research not only on our company, but our guests. I would hire him again, no questions asked!

Joe of Jim Beam/Suntory Columbus, OH

Scott’s performance exceeded my expectations and it was non-stop laughter for our employees! We received wonderful feedback following the event. He helped create an evening we will never forget! Scott was wonderful to work with. GREAT JOB! .

Alicia Montooth of WOW! Internet and Cable Company

Scott was a huge hit for our first fundraiser on Saturday night! We couldn’t have asked for a better event to get our fundraising started. Scott did a great job of interacting with the audience. We had a diverse group in attendance and his show was perfect fit for all – even the ministers in the audience! :) This event was focused on fundraising for education and he incorporated touching stories from his own personal journey as a parent. One audience member stated “he about had you in tears from emotion, then at the edge of your seat laughing!” At the end of the night Scott donated a portion of his merchandise proceeds back to us – what a nice surprise!

Erin of Sloan School Board

Scott was selected to do a comedic roast at a retirement reception for our Chief Operating Officer. He was absolutely hilarious! Scott customized his performance to fit this special “roasting” occasion. We had over 125 guests in attendance (from all over the United States), and received positive comments after the program. Scott was aware of his audience of executives, lawyers, and school administrators, and was able to engage several of them throughout his performance. Many of our staff members indicated they would like to see him perform at local establishments here in Indianapolis. We would reach out to Scott again for future events!

Mautrice of National Federation of State High Schools

Scott is a true class act and absolutely hilarious. His material is ahead of its time, relevant, and the manner of his presentation is humble, yet captivating.

-Molly Lang: Autism Coordinator–Noble of Indiana

Scott was as funny before our event as he was performing on stage. Great show.

-Brent Henslin of Com Tech (Wisconsin)

First class act. Good, intelligent humor. Overall rating of our experience working with Scott would be a 10.

-Jane Luddington of Michiana Big Brother/Big Sisters

Had no idea how a comedy show would work with our vendors, as it was our first time. Scott far exceeded my expectations, as he was a huge hit with the audience. I have recommended him to other groups since then.

-Jim of Boyne Resorts (Michigan)

Very well-prepared and really interacted well with everyone. Very funny (while staying) within the guidelines given. Great performance with many compliments. We will be using him next year.

-Lacey's Farmacy (South Dakota)

Our audience was much older and more conservative than in past years and Scott did a great job of adjusting on the fly, helping us make the event a great success!

-Partners for Healing Fundraiser (Tennessee)

Scott had our group rolling, especially playing off the audience. Some of our group was in tears from laughing so hard. Great act.

-Sandra of Hoosier Transports (Indiana)

Scott was fantastic!!! The show was so good many of us had tears in our eyes. I heard nothing but compliments about him the week that followed our company Christmas party.

-Abby of Camco Construction (Chicago, IL)

Every year we have comedians perform at our holiday party and Scott is the best. Great interaction with our employees and clients.

-Beth of C&L Excavating (Minnesota)

Enjoyed the whole experience working with Scott. Did a great job with all the different groups which make up our company.

-Lori of Preferred Family Healthcare (Missouri)

Excellent. Related well to our group. He did an awesome job at our Christmas Party.

-Laurie of the Doubletree Inns (North Dakota)

I'm very low-maintenance. All I need is a microphone and I will leave you with a show your group will be talking about for weeks.
