Is this some kind of oxymoron?

If the Reagan/Bush era taught us anything, it's that COMEDY can be used anywhere! More and more companies are turning to comedy to get their points across, whether it be for advertising, training, internal programs or just plain old sucking up to the big boss. And nobody sucks up better than In All Seriousness! (And we've got the sucking up letters to prove it!)

So what did we do for all these people? Many companies have used In All Seriousness for their entertainment and advertising needs. But we're more than just a pretty face! We've met the challenges of companies that want to use comedy for other means, such as new product lauching, introducing new programs to their employees, quality seminars, company meetings, educational videos, encounter groups, customer appreciation events and much, much more ---our Custom Comedy knows no bounds! Some of the more creative uses of comedy for corporations include: a fake presentation given by a "buddy" of the company's president for his upper management, who then gets "drunk" during his presentation, tells "stories" about his old pal, and then "recommends" he cut costs by firing upper management-getting dragged out by security as the rest of the performance begins! Or how about a seminar formatted as a gameshow, ---complete with obnoxious(ly funny) host, glamorous spokes-model, and a theme meeting your needs: introducing quality programs, new product information, company integration, etc. Vendor recognition programs that roast instead of toasts, with slews of celbrity impersonations! All hysterically funny and guaranteed to keep people's attention and retention! And check our our advertising page!

"The client LOVED your presentation (and felt that you hit all the sales points real hard, incidentally.) That, of course, made me very happy!"
