Comedian for events

The comedy your event needs. Without the worry.

Clean, customized, professional stand-up for corporate events, churches, fundraisers, conferences, private celebrations and audiences of every kind.

A comedian you can trust

Funny without making the event planner nervous

Booking a comedian can feel risky. Will the material fit the audience? Will he understand the event? Will you spend the whole show wondering what might be said next?

Before every show, Tim learns about the audience, the occasion and any important boundaries, then shapes the material and delivery to fit the room. The result is a genuine comedy show that feels spontaneous and exciting, and stays right for the people in the seats.
