When John Hakel decided to hire a comedian for one of his company's events, he knew that hiring the right comic would be no laughing matter. As the Director of the Association of General Contractors of California, Hakel plans dozens of events each year and he had heard of other planners who got blindsided when the hired comic's jokes quickly went from funny to filthy. "My job security depends on making our association members happy at these events," says Hakel, "not upsetting them with crude, racially insensitive or sexually explicit humor."
With issues like workplace sexual harassment and political correctness soprevalent these days, HR directors, event planners, office managers, andother program coordinators are anxious to ensure that the hired talent for abusiness or social event will entertain without offending.
Hakel avoided that embarrassment and kept his job by working with a companylike CleanComedians.com. In fact, since the original booking, Hakel hashired performers from "Clean Comedians" for more than 30 separate events."Every time I have hired a Clean Comedians performer, my audience has lovedit. It's great to get hilarious comedy -- and never having to worry aboutoffending any guests."
CleanComedians.com is an entertainment production company that representsmore than 100 entertainers nationwide including; stand-up comedians,comic-magicians, jugglers and variety acts that get big laughs withoutoffending audiences. "It doesn't have to be filthy to be funny," saysCleanComedians.com President Adam Christing. "Many of our best customerscome to us because they got burnt hiring a raunchy comedian from a club theprevious year." And according to Christing, "clean is green" -- becausebusiness is booming. Brian Tracy, one of the nation's leading businessauthorities, believes that Christing's company is filling a vital need: "Weuse them over and over to provide comedians who are funny, positive,motivational, and clean. Our events are attended by many people who like tolaugh, but do not enjoy off-color jokes or language."
The company is so confident that their funny men and women will entertainwithout embarrassing, they offer a money-back guarantee to eventcoordinators.
