Ratings System

Comedy has a wide range of styles, topics and levels. We can all tell the difference between a comedy show on ABC television like "My Wife and Kids" and a comedy show on HBO Cable Network like "Def Comedy Jam". To better serve you we have adopted a ratings system. The rating system is provided to help you define exactly the strength of humor of each comedian and your show. The system is based on the motion picture rating service.

Prices

We realize that in today's college environment, budgets are getting smaller and smaller. Most schools demand that the students and their advisors do MORE programming with LESS money. We understand this condition and strive to help you meet the challenge. Our tour packages start as little as $1,500 dollars. The average tour fee in 1998, 1999 and 2000 was around $3,500.

To help you more we also offer ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGES where the talent fees, booking fees, travel expenses, promotional support, meals, ground transportation and hotel accommodations are all included in one low price!

Block Booking

To further assist our clients in keeping the cost down we offer BLOCK BOOKING or CO-OPERATIVE BUYING PLANS. We average 15 shows a month during a semester which take us all over the country. By " piggy-backing " your show date with other schools, you can save money on expenses as well as take advantage of the reduced talent fees associated with BLOCK BOOKING.
