10 Tips for a Bad Corporate Comedy Show
- No need for a stage. The audience can kinda' see Kelly, right?
- Don't worry about the sound or lights. The venue probably takes care of that...I think.
- Wait until "the last minute" to contact Kelly. He's probably available, isn't he?
- Always introduce Kelly right as dinner is being served. People love to laugh with their mouths full of food.
- Keep the show room as warm as possible. Drowsy audiences are great for comedy.
- 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.
- Keep the audience as far from the stage as possible. The "comedy moat" makes for great audience interaction.
- Make the awards presentation as long and drawn out as possible. The audience will be in the mood for comedy when they wake up.
- Don't ask Kelly to help with the awards part of the program. He would just make it entertaining and well-paced.
- 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,
