Chris was a great addition to our charity comedy night. He even helped secure a new comedian for us when we needed a last minute replacement. He was in constant communication with us throughout the planning process, showed up at the venue on time, and delivered a hilarious performance.
Response from Chris Trani: Standup, Storyteller, Emcee:
Happy to help! Thanks, Kristen! Best of luck to ALIVE Rescue!
Chris did a set for a virtual comedy show we put on, and he was fantastic!! Not only was he super professional, but he helped us find a last minute comedian due to a last minute cancellation. Doing virtual sets are not easy, but he was a pro and was hysterical! I'd recommend Chris again and again!
Chris Trani left the audience blue in the face from the side-splitting laughter at a virtual Comedy Fundraiser for Crime Victim Center for Erie County (Pennsylvania). His interaction with the audience was fantastic, inviting them to engage was a non-stop laugh-a-thon. All the while he helped raise much needed funds for a non-profit that helps victims of crime. Chris, certainly does his homework and knows how to play to his crowd to keep them laughing and wanting more. We can't wait to have Chris back and live in Erie, PA!
We invited Chris Trani to a comedy hour on ZOOM for our Chamber members. We had everyone keep their mics and cameras on so Chris could gauge the audience by their laughter. Well, the laughter didn't stop! Plus, he brought along a fellow comedian as a bonus to us! Chris did his research on our area so he could resonate with our attendees. They both did a great job!! While we explored unchartered territory with COMEDY Zoom, our attendees said it was the most fun they had at a Chamber event through the pandemic! Thanks Chris!!
We wanted a virtual party that didn't suck. We hired Chris and it worked. Chris did an outstanding job learning our employees and tailoring comedy to our group. It hit home. We all enjoyed deep laughs -- something that is not easy during a pandemic. If your group needs some joy and laughter, hire Chris.
