Clean Corporate Comedian for Milwaukee Events
Picking the entertainment for the company party is a big responsibility. Choose wrong and the room goes quiet, or worse, HR gets involved. Dan Deibert is the Milwaukee area's own clean corporate comedian, bringing HR-friendly stand-up to holiday parties, awards banquets and conference nights where the CEO and the new hire laugh at the same jokes. He lives in Waukesha, so your event is practically in his neighborhood.
Why planners in Milwaukee book Dan
- A local you can count on. Dan is a Waukesha guy who knows the area, the venues and the audiences. Milwaukee listeners may know his voice from his radio talk show work on WTMJ and WISN.
- Nothing to explain on Monday. Clean, observational comedy for grown-ups that the whole company can enjoy together, so the only thing people talk about afterward is how funny it was.
- A safe pair of hands. More than 30 years on stage and runner-up in the national Jay Leno Comedy Challenge. He has handled every kind of crowd.
- Planning made easy. Tell Dan about your group and your schedule, and he builds the proposal around your event, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Corporate comedy in Milwaukee
Dan performs all over the country, but home is Waukesha, just down the road from downtown Milwaukee. For you, that means no airfare, no hotel room and no rental car on the invoice, so more of your entertainment budget goes into the show itself. It also means he'll arrive early, he already knows where to park, and a backup on the Zoo Interchange doesn't worry him.
Milwaukee's event scene runs from conventions at the Baird Center and banquets at The Pfister Hotel to gatherings at Potawatomi Casino Hotel and company outings at the Harley-Davidson Museum, then west to the Brookfield Conference Center and the supper clubs out in the county. Wherever your group meets, the setup that makes comedy work is the same: good sound, good light and an audience that can see the stage.
Over the years Dan has played every kind of room, from the back room of a Rocky Rococo to the ballroom at The Pfister Hotel. Different rooms, same result: people laughing.
Milwaukee events Dan performs at
- Holiday parties. The most popular booking of the year. Here's more on hiring a clean comedian for your holiday party.
- Awards and recognition banquets. A set after the meal turns a long program into a night people actually enjoy.
- Conference and association evenings. Give attendees a break from the breakout sessions. See Dan's convention and conference shows.
- Employee and client appreciation events. A shared laugh says thank you better than another round of speeches.
- Fundraisers and galas. Comedy warms up the room, best scheduled before or after the auction rather than in the middle of it.
Show formats
- Stand-up comedy. About 60 minutes, adjusted to fit your agenda.
- Emcee. Dan can run the program for awards banquets, galas and conferences: welcoming the room, introducing speakers, presenting awards, running the raffle or paddle raise and keeping the evening on schedule.
- Trivia, games and comedy. If your group would rather compete than sit back, HIP Trivia is Dan's hosted mix of trivia, game show moments and laughs. See HIP Trivia.

From Wisconsin event planners
"We couldn't have asked for a better comedian for our work holiday party! Dan was professional, personable, and genuinely hilarious. The material resonated with a diverse audience, and the delivery kept everyone entertained the entire time. The laughter in the room said it all. This performance truly elevated our event. Would gladly book again!"
"We had Dan as our entertainer at our annual Christmas Party with 100 in attendance. I was a little leery at first, not knowing how a comedian would go over with so many different ages and personalities. Well, I needn't have worried at all! Dan was a huge hit at our party and brought tears to most everyone throughout the evening. He was genuinely a funny guy! Thanks so much Dan for a great evening!"
"The work with Dan Deibert was excellent. We were looking for something different for our awards banquet and we found it. Mr. Deibert had everyone rolling in their seats. One of our member's husbands stated that his wife never laughs and the program made her do it. Everyone is stating how excellent it was."
Milwaukee event FAQ
Do you perform at Milwaukee hotels and banquet halls?
Yes. Dan performs everywhere from downtown Milwaukee hotel ballrooms to banquet halls and conference centers in the suburbs. He lives in Waukesha, so anywhere in the Milwaukee area is a short drive.
Will the show work for everyone at our company party?
That is the point of it. Dan's comedy is clean enough for the CEO's spouse and funny enough for the sales team. It's built on everyday life rather than shock value, so it plays to the whole room, from the front office to the warehouse floor.
How long does Dan perform?
Most shows run about 60 minutes, and the length is flexible. Let Dan know how much time the program allows and he will build the set around it.
Can Dan emcee our banquet instead of doing a show?
Yes. Dan emcees awards banquets, galas and conferences, handling the welcome, speaker introductions, awards, the raffle or paddle raise and the timing of the program.
What do we need to set up for the show?
A reliable sound system with a handheld microphone, checked in the room before guests arrive, and good light on the stage area. Dan's free event checklist walks through the rest and is worth passing along to your venue.
Bring clean comedy to your Milwaukee event.
Your team works hard all year. Give them a night of real laughs with no cringe moments, and be the planner everyone thanks on the way out.
