Planning a comany event or party?
I hear it all the time from event planners and executive admins who are tasked with hiring the entertainment for a company event: Comedians are too risky! I know, you don't want to be the one everyone looks at when the entertainment bombs or worse, offends everyone in the room with an off color remark. That's why you hire Stephen B.

With over 10 years working in human resources in some of Silicon Valley's top companies and 29 years in stand-up comedy, Stephen B knows exactly what you are looking for: Funny, non-offensive, intelligent comedy that relates to the broadest audience possible and fits within your company's culture.
