Karaoke Parties
Our DJ’s employ great vocals, their comedy chops and all the speakers, mics and monitors you’ll need to put on the best darn karaoke party your group will remember. We also offer themed parties (ie. Classics, Prohibition/Jazz Age, Divas, Duets and whatever you can think of) as well as drinking games (see below). Once bars, restaurants and private parties hire us, they always come back! Looking to host a fundraiser? We offer games and raffles to help your team raise money fast and fun.
Trivia Parties
Our host brings everything needed for a fun (and funny) night of trivia. We have PowerPoints, speakers for musical trivia, scoresheets, rule sheets and everything else you need to host a trivia that will be remembered for a long time. We offer themed trivia, drinking-game trivia and fundraiser versions.
