Did You Hear the One About The Lawyer Who Became a Stand Up Comic?
W hen Rick Roberts, the principal producer for FunRaisers Comedy, isn’t standing in front of a microphone, you’ll find him standing in front of a judge. And that’s no laughing matter.
We call it comedic justice.
Rick has been producing and performing comedy for 17 years. He ran a monthly show for eight years with headliners from all around the Northeast. He’s also produced hundreds of fundraisers, including for numerous sports teams and other school programs, Exchange Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, country clubs, private parties, charities and other good causes. He performs regularly throughout the Northeast, including major venues such as Mohegan Sun, Twin River Casino, the Palace Theater, Infinity Music Hall, the Katherine Hepburn Theater, Ivoryton Theater, the Broadway Comedy Club, Dangerfield’s and Stand Up New York.
Because Rick has a day job, FunRaisers Comedy can produce these high-quality shows for a fraction of what other comedy agencies charge. As he performs regularly in New York City, he’s able to attract talented NYC comics who have been seen on Stephen Colbert, David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Conan, Comedy Central, HBO and Showtime.
In addition to getting a tremendous lineup of comics, when you book through FunRaisers Comedy, the package includes rental of a professional sound system and spotlight, as well as preparation of marketing flyers and consultation on running your fundraiser.
