It’s easy to book any of our shows for a private event. We can host your group either at one of our many preferred locations, or at the third party venue of your choice. Either way, you’re looking for a company you can trust, an event that’s easy to plan, and a party that’ll knock your socks off. Well, that’s what we’ve done for twenty years..

If you are just getting started browsing for options, a good place to start would be to click on the “Our Shows” tab at the top of the page. The description of each of those four shows is written for the general public; however, with a private group, you have a few more options than the average Joe:

• You can arrange to have any of these performances, at one of our locations, or at one of your choosing, on any date, at any time - not just on the dates listed in the general public calendar.
• We can perform any of these shows at any venue you would like, provided it meets certain minimal technical requirements.
• You can arrange with us to have a menu other than the one described, including hors d’oeuvres or a host bar.

AMERICAN HOMICIDAL - available now through March 2009.

LET’S OUTSOURCE THE BOSS - available any time. BOSS comes with a customization package at no extra charge. We will plug in names and references specific to your group. This is always a huge success when most people in a group know one another.

WHOSE CRIME IS IT ANYWAY - available any time. For private shows, this show comes with the added feature of a custom-written sketch about your group. We will send one of our writers to meet with you and gather information about your group. We will then take that information and write a completely original, hysterically funny sketch, specifically for your event.

PARTNERS IN CRIME - available any time. Our most popular show for small corporate groups, PARTNERS is only available for private parties.

• Yes, you can bring your group to our regularly scheduled shows.
• You can have a completely private showing, with dinner and the works, at one of our locations ANY DAY OF THE YEAR. We have long standing relationships with some of the Greater Metro area’s finest Hotel and Banquet spaces, so you just call us and we will handle the rest.

"The Aveda Institute would like to thank you for making our company appreciation event the best we've ever had!! As the planner of our company event, I could not be more pleased with this absolutely hilarious, interactive show. We all laughed until we cried. The audience was a great team building experience and was done in a humorous, non-threatening manner. Today I am getting all the kudos for planning the evening, but I feel a little guilty because all I did was call you to book it. It was so incredibly easy to plan. I would recommend this show to any group looking for a fantastic time. Everyone in our group gives you rave reviews and two huge thumbs up!!!! Thanks again!! --Aveda Institute
