What do book clubs, bat mitzvahs, quiz nights and quinceañeras have in common? They're all just a little bit better (ok, ok, a LOT better) with a visit from The Laughing Academy! Our low-pressure group improv games are appropriate for everyone, bring people together, spark creativity and conversation, and fill the room with smiles and laughter!
Plus we're terrific at emceeing your fundraiser, awards ceremony, family reunion, or any important event you can name!

Kids of all ages have a blast at our custom birthday parties! Whether it's in your backyard, living room, a restaurant, or party place, our improv parties bring everyone together for hilarious fun! We can play group games, or bring in improvisers to make up and perform a show all about the birthday kid and featuring their favorite things. It's your day and your way!

From fundraisers and galas to awards ceremonies, wedding receptions, or anywhere people are getting together, an emcee from The Laughing Academy will help keep your event engaging, amusing, and energized while impeccably representing your organization and keeping the focus on you! Make your event memorable with an emcee from TLA!
“Thank you for making my daughter's birthday party
such a success. You really helped the girls create a
shared imagination in their performances which is
such an important part of human connection.
The girls had truly a magical time which I
credit to your flexibility and expertise.“
~ Rachel Rescorl
“Our book club had a blast at improv night, thanks to Kim. She made us all feel comfortable, and with her direction we all were able to let loose. I don't know when I have laughed so much. It was a perfect night of fun.
We can't wait to do it again.“
~ Katie Lynch, Developmental Therapist
“I really didn't know what to expect at our house party,
but the hour flew by and Kim was just phenomenal.
Her energy is amazing, her timing was perfect, and she was so encouraging that even a few of my more reluctant friends were laughing and joining in within a few minutes. What a great way to celebrate!“
~ Lisa S.
“I had the great pleasure of working with Kim when she facilitated an amazing team-building event for the kickoff of our women's group's new board installation. There was a perfect balance of silliness, professionalism and respect in one of the best sessions I have ever been a part of!“
~ Tamara Holmes
“Our annual Trivia night is notorious for wild costumes and fun teams and Kim jumped right in to keep everyone entertained while maintaining the fast pace needed to get through all of the questions. Without her energy, wit and professionalism the crowd may have gotten lost within their own conversations. So much more fun when everyone is waiting to hear what the MC will say next!”
~ Kinsman Thomas, The Glenview Education Fund
“Our group was a little self conscious at first but Kim's warm-ups got us loosened up and ready to play. I like how she directed the activity while still bringing out our silly and creative sides. And the human orchestra game was positively cathartic for me. What an entertaining night!“
