10 Tips for a Bad Corporate Comedy Show


10 Tips for a Bad Corporate Comedy Show

  1. No need for a stage. The audience can kinda' see Kelly, right?
  2. Don't worry about the sound or lights. The venue probably takes care of that...I think.
  3. Wait until "the last minute" to contact Kelly. He's probably available, isn't he?
  4. Always introduce Kelly right as dinner is being served. People love to laugh with their mouths full of food.
  5. Keep the show room as warm as possible. Drowsy audiences are great for comedy.
  6. Be sure to have the banquet staff bus the tables while Kelly is performing. It'll be easy to hear over the clatter of dishes.
  7. Keep the audience as far from the stage as possible. The "comedy moat" makes for great audience interaction.
  8. Make the awards presentation as long and drawn out as possible. The audience will be in the mood for comedy when they wake up.
  9. Don't ask Kelly to help with the awards part of the program. He would just make it entertaining and well-paced.
  10. Ignore Kelly's Customized Comedy Questionnaire. Who wants stand-up comedy tailored just for them?

Of course, you avoid all of these pitfalls when you hire me,
