Standup, sketch and audience games, built for your room
Crosseyed Comedy brings award-winning standup, sketch comedy and audience participation to churches, fundraisers, couples nights and outreach events. Fifteen minutes or ninety, in a fellowship hall or a 2,000-seat sanctuary, with a lineup sized to your room.
It is clean because that is how we write, not because somebody handed us a list of banned words. It is funny because the material comes from real life: marriage, kids, church potlucks, getting older, and the gap between who we meant to be this morning and who we were by lunch.

Why Crosseyed Comedy
Why churches book Crosseyed Comedy
You are not hiring a comedian and hoping. You are booking an organization that has done this, in rooms like yours, many times over.
Proven in every kind of room
Eighty-seat fellowship halls, 2,000-seat sanctuaries, gyms, theaters and banquet rooms. We know what works in yours before we walk in.
Nationally recognized talent
Our comedians have been seen on late-night TV, Amazon and Dry Bar Comedy and heard on national radio. Club-quality comedy, church-safe material.
100% clean, every show
No profanity, nothing crude, nothing that makes a guest regret coming. Clean because that is how we write, not because of a list of banned words.
Built for your event
Standup, sketch and audience games, sized to your room and your schedule, from a 10-minute sermon kickoff to a 90-minute showcase.
One booking, one contact
You book Crosseyed Comedy, not a list of individuals. One point of contact, a simple agreement, and a lineup we put together for your date and region.
Easy to promote, easy to host
A promo kit the week you book (reel, graphics, blurbs), a tech rider that fits in one email, and a show that starts and ends when we said it would.

The show
Four ways to fill a night
Standup showcase
Two to four comedians, one emcee, ninety minutes of nonstop clean standup. The format most churches and fundraisers book.
Sketch and improv
Scripted sketches and improvised games the audience can shout into. Great for youth-and-parents nights and retreats.
Audience participation
Game-show segments that bring your pastor, your board, or your most reluctant volunteer up on stage, and let them win.
Sermon kickoffs
A ten-to-fifteen-minute set that opens a service with laughter and hands the room back to the pastor warmed up and listening.
