Founded by a working comedian
ComedyBookers was founded by comedian Mike James, who has performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Comedy Central, Dry Bar Comedy and SiriusXM, and was named Corporate Comedian of the Year. Over the years, Mike James Comedy booked comedians for corporate events, conferences, holiday parties and fundraisers, for Mike and for other comedians.
That experience is the difference. We have established relationships with the comedians on our roster, and we know which ones are right for a sales kickoff and which ones are right for a church banquet. They know our clients expect professional, on-time, room-appropriate shows, and they deliver.
And because we’ve been the person on stage, we know what makes or breaks a show: where comedy goes in the program, the room, the lights and the microphone. We handle all of it, so the entertainment is the easy part of your event.
Why not just book the comedian yourself?
You can. But it costs the same to book through us, and we do all the work. Here’s the difference, and the peace of mind that comes with it.
