Private Events by ComedyUO
We are in the hospitality business.
Our specialty is providing high-touch experiences across both comedy and magic that offer opportunities for guests to socialize and mingle before the show and afterwards. As a production company, we can handle everything from the talent on stage to the toppings on your crostini.

Ways to work with us
Internal Events
A global bank wanted a comedy show for summer associates and partners at one of our favorite venues. They gave us a 'no-no' list of topics, and our comedians delivered a clean performance.
Member Events
A prominent fintech company wanted a way to treat their loyalty members, so we produced a monthly comedy series inside the nicest restaurants in town.
Client Events
A Big Law firm based in midtown wanted an immersive magic experience for their clients at a speakeasy, so we delivered four world-class mentalists and a stellar setting.
All we need is
- Headcount

À la carte, start to finish
A typical night looks like this, and every block is flexible. Start earlier, run later, add dinner service, or keep it to a tight ninety minutes. Close-up magicians, mentalists, stand-up lineups, and hosted variety shows are all on the table.
Comedy run of show
Cocktail hour, seated comedy showcase with emcee and comics, then wind down or extend the night.
Magic run of show
Cocktail hour, seated stage magic, close-up crowd magic, and a grand finale with the whole room.
HR can rest easy.
Corporate-safe by default. Corporate lineups are built around observational humor: work, travel, family, technology and the absurdity of everyday life. Think the style of Jerry Seinfeld, Nate Bargatze or Jim Gaffigan. Style references only. Not proposed or guaranteed talent.
Every set is briefed in advance against your list of off-limit topics.
Standard no-go topics
- Race and ethnicity
- Explicit sexual content and vulgarity
- Suicide and self harm
- LGBTQ+ identity or orientation
- Harassment and discrimination
- Disability
- Religion
- Politics and political ideology
- Sexual assault, abuse and violence
