GENERAL  What types of comedy talent can I book through ECE?  We offer a wide range of comedic performers to suit any event style or audience. This includes nationally touring stand-up comedians, corporate and fundraiser entertainers, family-friendly acts, improv groups, comedic hosts and emcees, impressionists, magicians, and even celebrity talent.    Whether you’re planning a country club dinner, corporate gala, college event, private celebration or even adding something different for your wedding reception, we’ll help you find the perfect act to match your vision, audience, and event goals.    Do you offer clean or family-friendly comedians?  Yes! Many of the comedians we work with specialize in clean, family-friendly material that’s ideal for corporate audiences, fundraising events, community galas, 55+ communities, country clubs and more. We take the guesswork out of finding appropriate talent by only recommending acts who align with your event’s tone and audience expectations.    Can you help us find a comedian that fits our specific audience?  Absolutely. Our experienced team will take the time to understand your event type, audience demographics, and overall vibe. Whether you’re booking for retirees at a club, a high-energy college crowd, or a buttoned-up corporate retreat, we’ll match you with a comedian who knows how to connect and deliver laughs to your specific audience.    How does the booking process work?  Our process is simple and stress-free. You start by sharing a few details about your event—such as the date, location, audience type, and budget. From there, we’ll present you with a curated list of talent options. Once you choose your act, we handle the contracts, logistics, tech requirements, day-of coordination – and even promotion and marketing – so you can focus on enjoying the show.    How far in advance should I book a comedian?  The earlier the better, but we recommend at least 4-6 weeks in advance to give you the best selection of talent. However, if you're on a tighter timeline, please reach out!  With our vast roster and strong industry relationships, we can find top-notch professional options no matter your timeline.    Can comedians perform at outdoor or non-traditional venues?  Yes. Many of our comedians are flexible and accustomed to performing in a variety of environments, from outdoor pavilions and clubhouses to conference centers and living rooms. We’ll help you choose someone who is comfortable adapting to your specific venue and will guide you on what’s needed to ensure the best show experience.    What does pricing typically look like?  Comedy pricing can vary based on a number of factors, including the performer’s profile, event location, length of set, and travel requirements. We work within your budget to recommend talent that delivers big laughs without hidden costs. You’ll receive transparent pricing upfront and ongoing support to help you get the most value from your booking.    Do you only book comedians, or can you help with other entertainment too?  While this page highlights our comedy offerings, ECE is a full-service entertainment agency. We also book bands, DJs, speakers, celebrity talent, and specialty acts for events of all kinds. If you're looking to build a full entertainment lineup, we can handle every element with one trusted partner.    Can we request a specific comedian we’ve seen or heard of?  Yes! If you already have a specific comedian in mind—whether it’s someone you’ve seen live, follow online, or heard about through friends—let us know. We’ll check their availability, secure accurate pricing, and handle all the logistics on your behalf.    Thanks to our exclusive relationship with The Comedy Zone and our vast network of venues, agencies, and industry connections, we can secure high-profile and celebrity comedians at competitive rates. Our team knows how to navigate the nuances of talent buying, so you get the act you want without the guesswork.    Do you offer virtual or hybrid comedy bookings?  We do. While most events have returned to in-person, some clients still benefit from virtual or hybrid performances—especially for corporate teams or remote audiences. Many comedians offer virtual sets, custom video content, or livestream capabilities, and we can help coordinate the right format for your event goals.    Why is it important to work with a skilled and experienced agency like ECE Comedy?  Booking comedy talent isn’t just about hiring someone funny—it’s about finding the right act for your unique audience and event. At ECE Comedy, we bring decades of experience, trusted industry relationships, and a deep understanding of what makes live comedy successful.    Because we’re not just an agency—we’re also comedy club owners and exclusive partners of The Comedy Zone—we have a unique lens into what works (and what doesn’t) on stage. We personally vet every comedian we recommend, ensuring they’re not only talented, but also reliable, professional, and a great fit for your setting.    From initial curation to contract negotiation, technical coordination, and day-of execution, we handle every detail, so your event runs smoothly—and your audience walks away talking about it for all the right reasons.    Do you have access to more than just stand-up comedy?  Definitely. In addition to traditional stand-up acts, we offer a wide spectrum of comedy-based entertainment including improv troupes, comedic speakers, satirical keynotes, sketch comedy, emcees, and even interactive or themed performances. These are great for enhancing conferences, employee engagement, wellness programs, and other events where laughter can elevate the experience without needing a full performance format.      CORPORATE EVENTS    What kinds of corporate events can ECE Comedy support?  ECE Comedy books top-tier comedians for conferences, company parties, leadership retreats, sales meetings, holiday events, and team-building activations. Whether you’re looking for a keynote act or just a great way to close out the night, we’ll help you create an unforgettable (and appropriate) comedy experience.    Can you help us hire a clean comedian for our company event?  Absolutely. We specialize in matching the right comedian or performer with your event needs and audience. We work with comedians who are corporate-friendly, clean, and experienced with business audiences. You’ll never have to worry about inappropriate material – just great entertainment that reflects well on your brand.    Can the comedian incorporate custom material about our company or team?  Yes! Many comedians are happy to tailor parts of their set to include light company-specific humor or conference themes. We’ll facilitate that conversation in advance, so it feels fun, on-brand, and respectful.    Do you offer comedic emcees or conference hosts?  Yes – we work with professional comedians and speakers who can serve as emcees, panel moderators, or comedic hosts throughout your event. It’s a great way to add energy and cohesion to your agenda.    Why should I work with an experienced agency like ECE Comedy for my corporate event?  Booking a comedian for a corporate event isn’t just about getting laughs – it’s about choosing someone who can connect with your team, represent your brand well, and deliver a performance that feels polished, appropriate, and impactful.    At ECE Comedy, we’ve booked comedians for hundreds of corporate events, conferences, and company celebrations. Because we’re not just an agency – we’re also longtime comedy club operators ourselves – we know how to identify talent that’s not only funny, but also professional, easy to work with, and comfortable in front of corporate audiences.    We thoroughly vet every comedian, manage all logistics (from rider details to show flow), and help you avoid common pitfalls – like mismatched tone or last-minute surprises. With ECE Comedy, you get a trusted partner who handles the details so you can stay focused on your event – and take the credit for a great night.    NONPROFIT + CHARITY    Is comedy a good fit for nonprofit galas or fundraising events?  Yes! Comedy creates a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere that encourages generosity, connection, and engagement. We’ve booked comedians for galas, auctions, donor appreciation nights, and community fundraisers of all sizes.    Beyond booking talent, our team also has hands-on experience producing successful comedy-based fundraisers. In fact, we created and produced the long-running Laugh for the Cure event series with Susan G. Komen, which raised significant funds and awareness for breast cancer research over multiple decades. We know the ins and outs of how to make a comedy fundraiser not just fun – but truly impactful.    Can you help us book a comedian who aligns with our cause and audience?  Absolutely. We’ll work with you to understand your mission, your audience, and the event’s tone—and then recommend comedians who strike the right balance of humor, heart, and impact.    Can the comedian reference our organization or cause in their set?  Yes. Many comedians are open to incorporating customized material that acknowledges your mission, honorees, or organization milestones. We’ll help you communicate key details to them in advance.    Are clean comedians available for nonprofit events?  Yes.

Comedy nights are a fresh, engaging way to diversify your programming and give back to your membership. From casual summer sets to more formal dinner shows, we’ll help you bring laughter to the club in a way that feels elevated and on-brand.    Can you guarantee the comedian’s content will be appropriate for our members?  Yes. Many of our comedians specialize in clean, club-appropriate material. We only recommend talent who understand the nuances of private member events and deliver smart, respectful humor. With over 100 years of combined experience in comedy, we understand the importance of matching the right performer to your event – so all you have to do is sit back, relax – and laugh!    Can we host a comedy night in our ballroom, dining space, or outdoors?  Yes – we’ll guide you through logistics and recommend comedians who can adapt to your unique space, whether that’s an indoor lounge, a tented patio, or a large event hall.    Can you help us create a seasonal or recurring comedy series for members?  Absolutely. Many clubs host quarterly or monthly comedy nights, often featuring a rotating lineup of comedians so each show feels fresh and new. We’ll help you design a repeatable format with engaging talent, seamless production, and just the right mix of personalities to keep members coming back – and talking about it long after the laughs.    Do you offer turnkey packages that include A/V support and promotion?  Yes. We can provide everything from sound setup to promotional blurbs and graphics to help you market the event to your members.    PERFORMING ARTS CENTERS + VENUES    Do your comedians perform full-length ticketed shows?  Yes.
