Be the Hero of the Office This Holiday Season.
Another year of meetings, deadlines, and emails that should have been meetings. Your team deserves a better holiday party.
Improv Asylum brings customized comedy, private events, and plenty of laughs to your company celebration. We'll help you plan a holiday party people actually want to attend.
Your Holiday Party Shouldn't Feel Like Work.
You've spent the whole year bringing your people together to get things done. Now it's time to bring them together for something a little more entertaining.
At Improv Asylum, we turn company holiday parties into shared experiences full of live comedy, unexpected moments, and genuine connection. No cookie-cutter entertainment. No awkward icebreakers. Just a room full of people having a ridiculously good time.
Whether you're celebrating with a small department or planning an event for the entire company, we can help make the season memorable.
This Is What Happens When We Throw a Party.
Watch coworkers go from politely observing to becoming part of the show. The jokes are created on the spot, the reactions are real, and the best moments are impossible to plan.
We Know Your Office Has Material.
Every company has its characters. We've got an entire cast ready to play them.
We work with your organizers to learn about your team, your company's culture, your office legends, and even that one running joke that refuses to die.
Our professional comedians use those details to create a custom comedy show inspired by your company, with plenty of opportunities for audience suggestions and spontaneous fun.
- Original, customized entertainment
- Interactive comedy and audience suggestions
- Content tailored to your group's comfort level
You Don't Need the Whole Theater to Make a Night of It.
Small team, big department, or the whole company: we have holiday packages for groups of all sizes. From a private cocktail hour before a Main Stage show to a full private event, we'll help you find the right fit for your celebration.
Find Your Group's Holiday Package →Your Own Space to Mingle. A Whole Show to Laugh About.
Rent out our theater's front room for a private cocktail hour with your group, then take your seats for our Main Stage holiday revue, Sleigh It Again.
It's a chance to catch up with coworkers in a space of your own before enjoying a live comedy show together. Your cocktail hour is private; the Main Stage performance is shared with the show's audience.
Tell us your group size and preferred date, and our events team will walk you through package options and availability.
Hanover Street.
Zero Ballroom Energy.
There are plenty of places in Boston to host a holiday party. But how many come with professional comedians?
Located at 216 Hanover Street in Boston's historic North End, Improv Asylum is a one-of-a-kind setting for a company celebration. Our intimate performance space and front bar room create an atmosphere that feels more like a night out than a corporate obligation.
We can help coordinate catering, bar arrangements, entertainment, and a schedule that works for your group. And with some of Boston's best restaurants right outside our doors, you've already got the perfect neighborhood for a holiday outing.
Big Crowd?
Bigger Stage.
Sometimes a company celebration calls for a larger space, a different atmosphere, or another type of comedy.
That's where Laugh Boston comes in. Our sister comedy club in the Seaport offers an exciting setting for larger celebrations, stand-up entertainment, and company-wide holiday events.
It was interactive, lighthearted and completely hysterical! Our employees were talking about it for days.
The Party Planning? We'll Handle That Part.
Planning a company holiday party shouldn't require a second full-time job.
Our experienced events team helps you sort through the details, from selecting a date and customizing your entertainment to coordinating food, drinks, and the flow of the evening.
You tell us what you're imagining. We'll help you figure out the best way to make it happen.
Everything You Need to Know Before You RSVP.
Still have questions? Our events team has answers. And yes, we've heard stranger questions than yours.
How far in advance should we book?
The earlier, the better. Popular holiday dates, especially Thursday and Friday evenings in December, can fill quickly. Contact us with your preferred dates and we'll help you explore availability.
Can the comedy be customized for our company?
Absolutely. We learn about your group in advance and incorporate your company's culture, personalities, and stories into the entertainment. We can also discuss the appropriate content rating for your audience.
Do you offer food and beverage options?
Yes. Our events team can help coordinate catering and bar arrangements based on your preferred venue, guest count, schedule, and budget.
How many guests can you accommodate?
Improv Asylum can accommodate events of up to approximately 200 guests, depending on the event format and configuration. For larger groups, we can discuss additional venue options.
Can you perform at our office or another venue?
Yes. If you already have a location, our comedians can bring the show to you. We'll work with your team to discuss entertainment needs and logistics.
What if some employees are remote?
We offer virtual and hybrid event options, including professionally produced streaming experiences that help include employees who can't attend in person.
Can we include company speeches or awards?
Of course. We can discuss including presentations, company remarks, awards, and other elements as part of your event schedule.
What happens after we inquire?
Our events team will learn about your preferred date, guest count, budget, and ideas for the party. From there, we can recommend the best format, venue, and next steps.
