Bring your people together with live comedy. The Comedy Series helps you find the right lineup, tone, and format for your fundraiser, company event, venue, or private celebration across Michigan.
Start with the occasion. Clean, PG 13, and adult comedy options let you shape the night around the people in the room.
For restaurants, bars, theaters, breweries, and community spaces planning a public comedy event.
For schools, teams, nonprofits, benefit groups, and community organizations.
For employee appreciation, holiday parties, conferences, client events, and team celebrations.
For birthdays, reunions, milestone celebrations, and a night out just for your group.
You can start the conversation before every detail is settled. Use this guide to gather what you know, then confirm the arrangements for your event with The Comedy Series.
As a general planning guide, a single comedian’s set often runs 30 to 60 minutes. A lineup with several acts needs a longer slot. Your actual running time depends on the performers and format.
Plan ahead: Keep time for arrivals, dinner, speeches, and raffles separate from the comedy. Share your preferred start and finish times.
Tell us whether your venue has a handheld microphone, mic stand, speakers, and lighting for the performance area. Include a venue contact who knows the setup.
Confirm together: Who supplies each item, who sets up and checks the sound, and whether equipment or staffing adds to the cost.
Guests need to see and hear the comedian comfortably. Aim for seating facing the performance area, clear sightlines, and a room where background music and other distractions can pause.
Share your setup: Send the room’s seated capacity, photos or a floor plan, and any stage, access, or outdoor weather considerations.
For public shows, talk through the event listing, ticket link, artwork, social posts, and any printed materials. For private events, focus on invitations and clear guest information.
Agree on the plan: Confirm which materials and promotion are included, who publishes them, and any paid advertising budget. Your organization’s own audience is an important part of the plan.
Share the city, expected attendance, and type of event. You can discuss the room requirements before you settle on a space.
