Comedy with Character at the Clare Rose Playhouse

I have had the pleasure of working with "Comedy with Character".....The creators and cast members have been a pleasure to work with.  Their dedication and strong work ethic have made them invaluable members of our theatre.

[They] performed their Fairytale Follies show at our theatre in January 2009 (and More Fairytale Follies in Jan 2010)....our theatre received incredible feedback from their shows.  We had full audiences and children begging for more.  We have even considered offering them a permanent spot in our season....

I recommend this group wholeheartedly to any program.

Customized Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt for Sweet 16

I just wanted to say thank you so much for making Denise's 16th birthday so awesome!  The kids were talking about it since last night and already there are tons of comments on Denise's facebook account about what an excellent party it was!......I could go on and on, as everyone was laughing from beginning to end......What was very clear was that they truly enjoyed the whole experience and that they will be talking about it for years to come!

I know this was not your normal type of booking - incorporating places that I wanted the kids to go [and getting the kids to do certain things] before they could receive clues, in addition to actually receiving clues that they need to sort through and solve and then having them end in a restaurant to recap everything for a hysterically funny one hour show - but you and your cast did a phenomenal job - as if you've done this a million times already!!!  I hope you share what I've written here with viewers on your website to let them know that you are game to do anything and that when they book with you, they are guaranteed to have a fantastic party!!!
  
Thanks again for all the work you put into it and for making Denise's party so fantastic!  
Take care!

Patchogue - Fairytale Follies show

We attended the show last weekend at Clare Rose Playhouse, and what a fun afternoon we had! You put a hilarious spin on old favorites, keeping us smiling the entire time.  My little guy has been talking about "flying mustaches" ever since. Keep making us laugh guys.....you are a talented bunch.

The North East Staffordshire Bull Terrier Dog Club

The North East Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club brought in Drop Dead Comedy to perform their Dyin' to get Hitchedâ show for a fundraiser at Stango's Restaurant, and I really can't give them enough praise for the job they did.   They had everyone in the crowd smiling, laughing, dancing, and just having a great time. 

They were very good at getting everyone (even the wallflowers) to participate, but really driving it home with the class clowns in the crowd.  It's obvious that they've been doing this for a while, their instincts and experience really showed.

The feedback I got from friends that attended was off the charts, and I heard My face muscles were sore from smiling and laughing so many times, I thought the Drop Dead Comedy team secretly handed out talking points while they were working the crowd. The fundraiser was a homerun, Drop Dead Comedy saw to that.  Thank you for the great time.

The Sons of Italy

To All...
I just wanted to thank you for your talent and efforts last night on
behalf of The Sons of Italy, The Sons of the American Legion and The
American Legion.

Thanks to you our fund raiser was a resounding success. Everyone had a
raucus and rollicking good time. The best part was the audience
participation. Our members did not expect to be part of the show, and it
made it all the sweeter. Many of them thought that this was going to be
the same boring "dinner dance" or "testimonial" fund raiser. They were
all smiling at the end of the night and let me tell you ... that was no
mean feat. I have already had inquiries as to when the next affair was
going to be.
My thanks to you all,
Ed Zangrillo

Kristen - Bay Elementary PTA

On May 16, the Bay Elementary School had a fundraiser. We had Drop Dead Comedy perform Dyin to Git Hitched at the Knights of Columbus in Patchogue. It was an amazing night. I never laughed so much before! This group is like a well oiled machine. They work and feed off of each perfectly. Their comedic timing is astounding. Not only was the script cleverly written, but the improvisation that was used to tailor this night to the Bay Community was fantastic. This aspect really made us feel that April and the crew wrote the script just for us. I am looking forward to using them again next year for our Cultural Arts Fundraiser. Thanks guys for all your hard work and dedication! It is greatly appreciated.

Twins' Birthday Party - LI

Unknown-7.jpeg

My twins wanted a birthday party that would be different from all the rest. Having Drop Dead Comedy come to our home and entertain almost 40 kids with their comical Murder Mystery characters and hysterical games was different to say the least. Not only did the kids love every minute the adults had just as much fun and all are still talking about it. Drop Dead Comedy Rocks!!! We look forward to using them again in the near future!!! Thank you so much - Raquel and Dominique

Lorraine Smith - St. Joseph Church in Bogota, NJ.

Hello Tony!
You guys did an awesome job! The principal said she wishes she knew, she would have dressed like a hillbillie and worked on her accent. LOL! Everyone had an awesome time! Thank you! We had a meeting last night and everyone on the board started their discussion with the show Saturday night! It was a blast! They want to do it again next year and mentioned as much at the meeting last night....They said that next year's show will probably sell out!

The principal was talking about it on Sunday at the open house as well as at the meeting last night....!!!!! I am so happy that everyone had a great time...!
