Lectures By Lushes: A Drunken Lecture Series

A typical comedy show here runs about 60 to 90 minutes, including time for opening acts and the main performance. If you’re planning a private event or want something different, you can ask for shorter or longer sets—just let us know what you need when you’re booking, and we’ll do our best to match your schedule.

To lock in your date for a Comedy Show, a deposit is required. This makes sure your spot is held and goes towards the total cost of your event. The remaining balance is usually due before the show happens. Deposits help us organize schedules and plan for your event without any last-minute conflicts.

You’ll need a working sound system with at least one microphone and speakers loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. A basic stage or performance area with good lighting helps, so the audience can see the performer. Make sure there are enough power outlets for equipment. If it’s a bigger space, a microphone stand and maybe a monitor so the performer can hear themselves is useful. Check that all devices are set up and tested before the show starts.

Comedy shows can definitely be customized for your specific audience or theme. Just let us know what kind of event you’re hosting, the age group, or any special topics you want included (or avoided), and we can tailor the performance to match. This helps make the show more fun and relevant for your group, whether it’s a party, corporate event, or something else.

It’s best to book your spot for a lecture as early as you can, especially if your event is on a weekend or during busy seasons. Booking at least four to six weeks in advance helps make sure you get the date and time you want. If you have a specific theme or need custom content, a little more notice gives us time to plan and tailor everything to your event. Last-minute bookings might be possible if there’s an opening, but earlier is always better to avoid missing out.

The price to book a comedy show for an event can vary depending on a few things, like how many comedians you want, how long you need the show, and if you want anything extra like a themed set or custom jokes. On average, you might expect to spend anywhere from $300 to over $1,000 for a show. Smaller, shorter shows with fewer comedians are more on the lower end, while bigger events or custom performances can cost more. It’s best to contact directly with your event details so you can get an exact quote that fits your needs and budget.

The lectures cover a mix of topics like the history of cocktails, the basics of mixology, and the science behind different drinks. You'll also get tips on how to taste wines and spirits, learn about popular trends in the beverage world, and hear fun stories from the industry. Each lecture aims to be informative but still entertaining, so you pick up new skills while having a good time. Some talks even include hands-on demonstrations or interactive tastings.
