A Full-Service Funny Business Featuring a Trio of Experienced Comics Who Have Written and Performed Hundreds of Customized Comedy Shows

When You Want Interactive, Intelligent and Memorable Entertainment for Banquets, Meetings and Company Events...

We Deliver A Customized Comic Look at Your Culture: LaughingStock is unique because we customize every performance. Prior to the show, we learn everything we can about you. We read your material, interview your people and ask all the right questions. Every business, product, service and organization has a lode of humor. We're experts at digging up the joys and frustrations, foibles and follies, buzzwords and common denominators the audience shares. At show time, we integrate this extensive research with our wit, characters and "improv" experience. Our team of comedy experts spontaneously creates customized comic scenes about your world. The result is a fun and funny show designed especially for your audience.
 
Fun and Funny, Live Improvisational Comedy: Improvisational comedy shows are made up of fresh, original scenes based on audience input. The audience fills in the details of our distinctive comedy by volunteering a variety of suggestions (emotions, objects, activities, occupations, locations) throughout the performance. Improv is immediate and exciting. The audience is in on the fun as they see their ideas mushroom into comedy mayhem.
 
Whatever Business You're In, We Think It's Funny...  Your Audience Will, Too!  Sales forces and customers, technology developers and end-users, teachers and students, management and administrative support, health care professionals and patients, food scientists and consumers, buyers and suppliers, lawyers and outlaws, funeral directors and...well, let's just say we leave 'em dead in the aisle. We are professionals in business ourselves. Let us discover what's so funny about your business world.
 
Communicate A Message Through Laughter:  
Our clients have asked us to host, encourage, reward, motivate, sell, enlighten, thank, congratulate, demonstrate, liven up and entertain. We bring laughter wherever our sponsors require it. We have performed for two people in a conference room, for 2000 in a theater, for two minutes at a sales meeting and every hour for five days at a trade show.
 
Award-Winning Comedy Writers: We write commercials, industrial videos, sketches and speeches. We call them comical additives. Need a headline? Need help coming up with material for a roast? Need to spiff up a speech? Need a fun angle for a training session? Need a unique concept, a lively script and some very funny actors for a trade show? When our clients
