Corporate Comedy Entertainment
“What’s missing from our company parties? Stand-up comedy. That’s what’s missing.” This may not be the most oft-said line in human history. But that is possibly because your office has never hired a comedian before. In fact, a corporate event comedian may be just what your company needs.
Company culture is multifaceted. On one hand, you have the brand positioning that your website touts. The company may even try to exemplify and accentuate certain brand traits. But on the other hand, you have the brand culture that exists largely among your team members.
Hiring a corporate comedian accesses that inner culture, the one where the staff likes to have a private laugh—having a corporate event comedian taps into this vein more fully by taking the hidden and making it visible. Even if what’s hidden is just naked joy. Maybe even being able to publicly laugh about the company’s or industry’s foibles.
Regardless of the type of corporate event, from holiday parties to corporate milestones, a great comedian will immeasurably improve the proceedings. After all, the line between laughter and joy is a short one to draw.
Being an event planner can be fun, but it can also be monotonous. Why not try something new? Read on to discover how corporate comedy entertainment can be the answer you’ve been looking for.
Why Hire a Corporate Comedian?
After a particularly stressful period, your staff could really use a laugh. And laughter—it almost goes without saying—can induce relaxation. A good deal of it. Laughter is highly conducive to dealing with stress in both the short and long terms.
Laughter lowers our blood pressure and releases the “reward” hormone (dopamine). It also helps upregulate endorphins, which can help encourage social bonding.
How impactful is laughter? We can trace its roots as a social glue to early hominins, says Robin Dunbar, a British anthropologist. Dunbar asserts that laughter acted as an evolutionary tactic for strengthening connections but also for growing group sizes, which helped enable the group’s survival.
Laughter used to help us strengthen our connection among our early ancestors. It also strengthened their social connections and helped increase their numbers to better fight off saber-toothed tigers—but Laughter is still just as helpful for team building in the office setting.
A corporate event comedian also creates something memorable for your staff. “We laughed so much.” That’s how we describe some of our favorite moments with those closest to us. We remember a time we laughed a lot. Partially because of the positive hormones and the camaraderie we felt.
These are the experiences staff like to remember, not the ones spent filling in time cards or checking whether a pitch deck uses the correct font.
When you hire a corporate comedian, you’re not just hiring a talented performer; you’re providing stress relief, facilitating team-building, and creating a memorable experience for your staff.

Navigating the Different Types of Comedy
Despite what your teachers told you, humor—not math—is the universal language. However, much like you wouldn’t care for some surprise math at work, some language is better suited for comedy clubs than the office. You may love Ali Wong and Jim Jefferies, but corporate event entertainment tends to favor clean comedians.
Fortunately, our bread and butter—beverage and protein, salad and dessert—is providing clean comedians, which, of course, is ideal for comedy entertainment at corporate events.
But if you run a small, tight ship—one full of sailors with salty tongues and equally salty tastes—we also have “moderate language comedians” and “comedy club–rated comedians.” The former includes some swear words and innuendo, while the latter features the kind of material you’d hear in an R-rated movie.
We generally designate “corporate comedians” as their own rating, but there tends to be a fair amount of overlap with clean comedians; “moderate language comedians” and “comedy club-rated” comedians occupy their own ratings. But if you’d prefer different waters, we’re happy to oblige.
Regardless of your mother tongue, when you laugh, you are speaking the universal language of happiness. And a good corporate event comedian can have us all speaking the same language.

Book a Corporate Comedian Today
Almost everyone has a funny coworker. Someone who makes you laugh and helps you get through the day. They make work feel less like work—which, etymologically, is connected to such sunny concepts as suffering, hardship, punishment, and torture.
But your coworker, no matter how delightful they are, is unlikely to be a professional comedian. Their comedy act, while amusing, probably cannot be performed for the wider office. Such are inside jokes. A corporate event comedian excels at having humor palatable for the wider office.
At Hire a Comedian, we have thousands of performers with decades and decades of experience. They’ve performed comedy shows for corporate giants such as Facebook, GM, and Verizon, among many others.
We would love to have your next corporate get-together howling with laughter—a reprieve from the “torture” that is the nine-to-five. And we’d love to get your group more tightly knit and more relaxed. And laughter can always help with that.
So give us a call at (407) 728-9035, or email us at comedianbooker@gmail.com. We can’t wait to show you what our comedians can do for you and your team.
