Every 12 seconds someone dies of boredom. Shaun Has The Cure!
Shaun has the power to make people laugh with just his words. Jay Leno said "Shaun writes the kind of smart comedy I like to use in my opening monologue." Jay and other late-night hosts incorporated Shaun's topical material in their monologues for almost two decades. Reader's Digest called him one of the smartest comics in the country and he's been written about everywhere from the New York Times and Philadelphia Inquirer to the Asbury Park Press and 2 Ivy League college newspapers and quoted on CNN and CBS radio news.
Shaun is a clean comedian, not just some comedian offering to clean it up for you- so you get clean comedy, not cleaned-up comedy. That's why not just corporations but also synagogues, charities, country clubs and even the U.S. Army War College love Shaun Eli's clever, clean, smart comedy.
(Don't be fooled by comics who post testimonials with just first names. You can read full testimonials below.)
Whether it's a story about dining with a vegetarian or successfully fighting a parking ticket, from hybrid cars to serving on a NYC criminal jury, Master Storyteller Shaun Eli shows you that there's hilarity in the ordinary if you approach life with a comedic warp. Contractors? European vacations? Dating a vegetarian? How about the Ten Commandments? For just about anything he's experienced Shaun has a hilarious story at the ready.
And as the Executive Director of The Ivy League of Comedy, Shaun can arrange for comics you've seen on The Tonight Show, Letterman & Comedy Central to join him for an elaborate, hilarious night of comedy that will leave your clients and guests with a night they'll remember forever.
Shaun is a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania who escaped to comedy after twenty years of working in marketing & finance, so if it's a corporate comedian you're seeking, why not hire someone who understands your business, your audience and your needs?
"You were the most talked-about part of our group's trip to NYC- everyone had such a wonderfully hilarious evening. We all appreciated your ability to interact with a very diverse audience, military officers and diplomats intermixed with New Yorkers and visiting tourists from all over, and still keep your material fresh, clever and relevant to everyone. People who've made a career out of slogging through mud while under fire aren't going to be offended by dirty words, but they still marveled at your friendly and professional ability to rock the room without the use of foul language or vulgar content. I would recommend you to any group seeking entertainment."
