About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

I may look like the guy next door, but my dark humor pays off. I’m a hit with social halls, bars, comedy clubs, the NPR crowd, city folk, coastal liberal intellectuals, corporate audiences, and churches love me. I will work with you as your comedy sherpa to give your audience the best possible experience that they will love and brag about later. Brian Atkinson is a comedian, and played a serial killer on TV, while doing voices for PBS Kids in the same studio on the same day. This guy-next-door with a radio voice talks about his career in broadcasting, voiceover, and being adopted twice, with twisted observations of everyday life. He's so funny, you may not notice he's working clean. Brian is an award-winning comedian: Best of The Bash 2022 and 2023, World Series of Comedy 2023 Wildcard 1st Place Winner and 2024 Top 40 Comic, Funniest Person in Grand Rapids contest Audience Favorite, and Finalist in the Kingpin of Comedy. Brian Atkinson has hosted, featured, and headlined at clubs, corporate events, churches, and fundraisers across the country. References: Brian Atkinson delivered the laughs, and he’s such a nice guy! The Underground Laugh Lounge hosted a corporate party and we hired Brian to headline the event. When the client waffled on the date and time, Brian adjusted his schedule to help us be successful. Everyone loved his comedy and went out feeling so much better than when they came in. That is our goal. We want you to leave your troubles outside, relax, and let the laughter flow. We appreciate Brian as a comic but also as a person. He has be come a friend to us and we look forward to having him back for his own headlining weekend in the Fall. Sheila Koebel, Owner Underground Laugh Lounge The Hobson is Kokomo’s premiere downtown event space, and we wanted to expand our offerings to the community by adding comedy nights. We hired Brian Atkinson to produce and host one of our very first shows, and it was a terrific experience for everyone involved! Brian booked a nationally touring headliner, a feature comedian, and then MC’d the show himself. They were all so funny! Brian was the consummate professional throughout the process. He communicated early and often, and he gave us just the right materials and coaching to have a successful comedy night. We were very grateful that he and the other comedians were able to accommodate some changes on our end the week of the show. Our audience loved how Brian handled an unforeseen technical glitch the night of the show and kept everyone laughing. We can’t wait to bring Brian back with another set of comedians! He did a fabulous job of producing this show with his grace, humor and experience! Ann Inman Venue Manager The Hobson As a chamber of commerce, to celebrate the end of the year, we truly wanted our business owners and professionals to kick back and enjoy a good time. A comedian was what we decided, and Brian Atkinson was the perfect guy for the job. Not only was Brian funny, he truly provided us the space as local business owners and professionals, and members of the chamber to enjoy each other’s company and wrap up the year. He was professional through the booking process, extremely helpful and communicative the entire time. A number of our businesses and organizations have mentioned wanting to work with him for future performances – which we’re thrilled to hear, because we are all about making connections for people. I can highly recommend Brian Atkinson as a comedian for your corporate event, with tasteful and appropriate comedy to please your crowd. Angie Ecklund Executive Director Allendale Area Chamber of Commerce Brian Atkinson is hilarious! So many of our supporters came up to me after the show to tell me how they laughed and laughed and enjoyed Brian’s comedy. He was just the right fit for our fundraiser. Brian put me at ease from the first video I watched, through the contract process, and his last interaction with our donors the night of the show. Our Comedy for Community Night was a success in large part because of Brian Atkinson. His personal touch and professional demeanor was a welcome relief during a stressful time. My team and I all agree, when you are looking for a comedian for a fundraiser or corporate event, hire Brian! Sarah Hughes, MCP Homeless Prevention Programs Director Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency

FundraiserReviewed on October 30, 2023From Bay City, MI

The Humane Society of Bay County (HSBC) hired Brian Atkinson for a comedy show to follow our annual fundraiser. First, Brian was so funny! He did a terrific job entertaining our supporters and board members. He tailored his material to make it relatable and specific to our organization which was delightful. Brian also helped us think through how to make the comedy portion of the evening more successful. And, he acted as the MC for the live-auction after his show. He has the heart of a teacher and his openness made for a truly memorable night. We happily recommend Brian for any event where a comedian can help to make or break your fundraiser or corporate event.

FundraiserReviewed on November 20, 2022From Lawton, MI

Fundraising is a key function for the DVC so that we may provide support to survivors free of charge. An evening of entertainment is an important part of that. We are glad we trusted Brian with our event! First, Brian is very funny and our audience immensely enjoyed his comedy. Additionally, Brian showed an understanding of our goals and needs that he gained from experience with similar events. Brian respected our wishes and kept the comedy 100% clean. He was very easy to work with, professional, reasonably priced, on time, and friendly. He also introduced us to Kim Cook, who opened for him and was a delightful addition. DVC would absolutely work with Brian again.

Brian Atkinson | Professional Clean Comedian:

Thank you Ashlei! It was wonderful working with you and getting to know DVC.
