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
