Company Holiday Parties
A Clean Comedian for Your Company Holiday Party
The holiday party is the one night a year the whole company is in the same room, and you're the one who planned it. Get the entertainment wrong and people check their phones, or worse, someone ends up in HR on Monday. Dan Deibert is the clean comedian who gives your team a night of real laughs, from the warehouse to the corner office, with big laughs and nothing to explain on Monday.
Why HR teams book clean comedy
- Big laughs, no cringing. Dan's material is clean from the first line to the last, but it's comedy for grown-ups, not a kids' show. You'll be laughing along instead of watching the boss's face.
- Everyone is in on the joke. His comedy is about work, family and everyday life, so the interns, the retirees and the spouses who don't know anyone all laugh together.
- Nobody gets picked on. Dan connects with the crowd without embarrassing anyone. The guests who want to stay out of the spotlight can.
- Thirty years of holiday seasons. More than 30 years on stage and runner-up in the national Jay Leno Comedy Challenge. He has seen every kind of company party and knows how to read the room.
How a comedy set fits the party
Most holiday parties follow the same rhythm: cocktails and mingling, dinner, then the program. Comedy works best right after dessert, while everyone is still at their tables and the energy is high. Fed, relaxed and together in one room, a group is never more ready to laugh.
After the show, the evening flows into whatever comes next: the awards, the raffle, the gift exchange or the dance floor. A good laugh is the perfect warm-up for all of them. Dan will talk through your run of show with you so the set lands at the right moment and never competes with the bar, a slideshow or the boss's speech.
The set usually runs about 60 minutes and can be shorter if your evening is packed.
Rather play than watch?
Some teams would rather compete than sit back. HIP Trivia is Dan's hosted trivia and game show experience, where tables team up, trash talk a little and laugh a lot. It's a great choice for groups that like to mix. See HIP Trivia for holiday parties.

What holiday party planners say
"We invited Dan to be the main entertainment for our Company Holiday Party. From our initial conversations discussing the logistics of his trip to the conversations he held with employees after his performance, DAN WAS THE MAN! He captivated our audience and engaged the crowd for over an hour. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE there, from age 25 to age 75 was laughing throughout his entire performance. Written by the 'Not So Fun' Amy."
"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!"
"I've had numerous people tell me that this year's holiday party was the best we have had in years thanks to you! Everyone had a great time, you were able to connect to multiple people and create a fun evening. We appreciated your entertainment and it was great comic relief from the hustle and bustle of our day to day lives. Attendees said they could have listened to you for hours on end."
"Dan entertained our group at our company Christmas party. Everyone in the audience really enjoyed his show. He is very engaging and FUNNY! Our group ranges in age from early 30s through folks in their 80s and possibly 90s and his brand of humor appeals to all! He was also very easy to work with, very responsive when I contacted him, and he arrived on time for the event. I would highly recommend him for your group."
Holiday party FAQ
Is the comedy clean enough for a company holiday party?
Yes. Dan keeps it clean without making it tame. It's adult comedy about work, marriage, kids and getting older, the kind of thing the whole room relates to, so it works for every table, from the newest hire to the CEO and their spouse.
Will clean comedy feel tame?
Not a chance. Dan's show is built for adults, quick, sharp and full of the stuff everyone recognizes from work and home. He just doesn't need shock value to get there. The most common thing he hears afterward is that people didn't even notice it was clean.
When should the comedy happen during the party?
The best spot is right after dinner and dessert have been served, while everyone is still seated and before the awards, the raffle or the dance floor. Dan will help you place the set so it never competes with the bar or a slideshow.
How long is the show?
Most shows run about 60 minutes, and the length is flexible. If your evening is full, tell Dan how much time you have and he will fit the set to it.
Will a comedian work for a mixed-age group?
Yes. Dan's observational material is about work, family and everyday life, which everyone in the room recognizes. Holiday party clients have described guests from their twenties to their eighties laughing at the same jokes.
What if our team would rather play than watch?
HIP Trivia, Dan's hosted trivia and game show experience, turns the party into a friendly competition between tables, with plenty of comedy along the way. It is a great fit for groups that like to mingle.
What do we need to set up?
A reliable sound system with a handheld microphone, checked before guests arrive, light on the stage area, and seating that faces the stage. The free event checklist covers the rest and can go straight to your venue.
