Wisconsin Dells Resorts & Conventions
A Clean Convention Comedian for Wisconsin Dells Resorts
Your attendees came to the Dells for the conference, but they're hoping for some fun too. After a full day in breakout rooms, the evening program is where your event either comes alive or quietly empties out toward the waterpark. Dan Deibert is the clean convention comedian who knows the Dells stage better than most. He spent two years as the resident comedian at the Wisconsin Dells Comedy Club.
Why planners in Wisconsin Dells book Dan
- He's worked this town. Two years as the resident comedian at the Wisconsin Dells Comedy Club, plus radio careers in Madison, Milwaukee and Green Bay, all quick shots from the Dells. He still can't figure out the Wisconsin Deer Park. (Don't worry. He'll bring it up.)
- Grown-up laughs, clean material. Sharp, fast comedy for a room of professionals, with nothing that makes the board chair or the sponsor table squirm.
- Built around your group. Dan tailors the show to your industry or association, so it feels written for your attendees, not pulled off a shelf.
- A veteran on the mic. More than 30 years on stage and runner-up in the national Jay Leno Comedy Challenge.
Convention comedy in Wisconsin Dells
The Dells calls itself the Waterpark Capital of the World, but for event planners it's also one of the busiest convention towns in the state. State associations, trade groups and companies from across the Midwest book their annual meetings and retreats at the Kalahari, Chula Vista and the Wilderness Resort, where attendees get meeting space, lodging and a little vacation under one roof.
The Dells is an easy drive from Dan's home in Waukesha, so there's no airfare and no rental car to budget for. He arrives in time to check the ballroom sound and meet your team before dinner.
Dan has played every kind of room the Dells has to offer, from the back room of Moosejaw Pizza to the Kalahari Ballroom. The laughs were just as big in both.
For resort sales and catering teams
When a group asks you who to book for their banquet night, Dan is an easy answer: clean material, a simple setup, and a performer who shows up early and works alongside your banquet captains and AV crew. Resort sales teams are welcome to email Dan for information to pass along to their clients.

From hotel, association and conference planners
"Dan arrived at Hotel Grinnell the night before his performance, in the middle of a snowstorm. During his stay, he did his homework. He got to know the hotel and ballroom, talked with guests and staff, and walked around town the next day. As a result, he gave a performance that resonated with the audience, kept them engaged and laughing, and inspired participation! Dan was on his game the entire hour, plus! He gets a grade of A+ from Hotel Grinnell."
"Dan was the entertainment for our School of Nursing alumni reunion. His audience ranged from ages 22-87 and it was no small feat ensuring that everyone was able to laugh and relax without being offensive, but he did it! He was extremely professional in all of our interactions, kept open communication channels, and made the effort to dress the part by wearing our school colors. It was clear he put thought into individualizing content especially for our participants. I would certainly recommend him to my colleagues planning similar events."
"We had Dan entertain at our Solid Waste Conference and everyone had a really great time. We laughed and our group was fully engaged throughout the event. I would highly recommend him to any corporate event. He kept it professional and still everyone had a great time."
"Thank you Dan for a terrific performance at our Chamber Annual Meeting. Your performance brought tears to many people's eyes as we were laughing so hard! You made our event a HIT! You are one that the audience will definitely remember. Thanks again for being so easy to work with."
