Private Event Comedian
Corporate Events & FundraisersA private event comedian that won’t get you reported to HR
So you’re thinking about a comedian for your corporate event or holiday party. Kudos! Comedy is a perfect choice for entertainment—though I’m admittedly biased.
But it’s not as simple as (A) Find funny joke-teller, (B) Hire joke-teller, (C) Collect praise.
You need a comedian that won’t get you in hot water with the top dogs.
That’s where I come in.
The best part about hiring a comedian with 25+ years of experience like me is that I’ve performed for every type of crowd you can imagine: from rowdy 20-somethings who like their comedy as dirty as their martinis, to all-ages crowds that include kids and grandparents.
I recognize that private events and corporate shows are very different from comedy clubs, and I won’t sell you down the river.
I’ll perform a set for your event that not only makes your group laugh until their face hurts, but is also just the right amount of risqué.
Want more reassurance?
Check out a corporate-friendly performance. And if clean isn’t what you’re after, no worries—whatever level of edge you want, I can make it happen.
Nathan was our entertainer for our holiday party… he did not let us down. I was crying from laughing so hard, [and] the gal sitting next to me said her cheeks were hurting from laughing so much. All night I heard nothing but great things about him and how impressed they were with the show. Thank you Nathan, for making our night unforgettable!
FAQs
What kind of audiences have you performed for?
I’ve performed for private event audiences of every size, shape, and flavor. From sanitation workers to high schoolers at an afterprom, and troops in Iraq & Afghanistan, to buttoned-up accountants.
If you’re up for it, I can mix in a little humor specific to your group—say your company president is addicted to Pokemon Go and has a good sense of humor, I can add a little good-natured ribbing to the set.
How far will you travel?
Professional comedians travel for a living, and being a road warrior is part of my job description. I’m available to travel throughout the U.S. for your private event.
Nathan was perfect for our corporate dinner. He was able to relate to and engage with us. After the first half, I wasn’t sure how many more belly laughs he could pull out of the crowd, but it never stopped and everyone loved it. For days afterward people were continuing to reference what a great time they had.

More testimonials
“Nathan’s show was fantastic! Every time I would just get settled down from laughing at the last story told, he’d would pop the punch line of the next one and I would laugh all over again. By engaging with the audience, Nathan seemed to bring them in on the jokes with him, keeping everyone entertained. Highly recommended to anyone!”
Ed Schmidt, President, Baxter Athletic Boosters, Baxter, IA

“When I saw you perform at The Funny Bone, I knew you’d be perfect for our fundraiser. ‘Outstanding!‘ ‘A great storyteller,‘ and ‘two thumbs up!‘ are just some of the raves I‘ve heard about your show so far, and I keep getting major kudos for bringing you here.”
Beth Davis, Chair – Appanoose County Heart Committee, Centerville, IA
“Nathan was wonderful to work with. He was prompt, professional and a hilarious comedian. Nathan was able to relate to our small group and create a fun and engaging environment. I would definitely have him do more events like this in the future!”

“We wanted something different this year for our Employee Holiday Party. Nathan was perfect! He was able to reach a level of comedy that all age groups enjoyed! Nathan’s comedy had people laughing with tears in their eyes. The following day everyone was talking how much they enjoyed him would like to see him again. Nathan is just what we needed this year.”

“In over 30 years of a USPS career, this is the first time I’ve seen anyone miraculously transform a large group of postal employees into completely enthralled, laughing-noisily, delighted party people! I received countless compliments, including one from an Association Board Officer!”
