Meetings + Marketing + Communications + Comedy

Because I have a big-fat opinion about just about everything.

Meetings:

LaughingStock Comedy Company - of which I am a founding member and performing partner - has performed well over 1000 shows for corporate and association special events. We have worked closely with meeting producers, destination management firms, speakers bureaus and the CEO's administrative assistants to create successful meetings. We've seen them from the inside out and the outside in. We've seen what works and we've seen plenty of disasters, er, teachable moments. Now I want to share.

Marketing:

A&A&DS Advertising Communications Consultants was created the same month I started in comedy because, frankly, comedy was paying $35 a gig at the time and the rent was more. My experience in radio and advertising agencies — combined with the comedic force I was working with — allowed us to work with a select group of clients to create fun and effective marketing campaigns. It also functioned as the in-house marketing arm of our comedy company. We had symbiosis before it was even in Webster's.

Communications:

That's what it's all about: This blog, advertising, marketing, public relations, training, sales, social media, email, cereal boxes, you name it; it's all about communications and finding creative ways to capture people's time and imagination.

Comedy:

Comedy makes messages memorable. Comedy makes the bitter pill easier to swallow. Comedy is healing. Everyone likes a fart joke.

So here it is: M+M+C+C. Let's see where it goes.
