virtual shows
When we all went into lockdown in March of 2020, I thought I was toast. Let’s face it, my entire job is predicated on large groups of people congregating in small indoor spaces with low ceilings. Fortunately, the internet made it possible to keep performing, and while nothing is like a live event, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much fun I’ve had telling jokes into a computer screen.
Over the past year I had the chance to perform at virtual happy hours, birthday parties, bachelorette parties, fundraisers, and more! (Photos/testimonials below.) If you would like to book me for an event, please fill out the form below, and I look forward to entertaining you!
testimonials
"How can you host a successful all company event that embraces all time zones and multiple countries virtually? You hire Adam Mamawala. How do you manage to get glowing reviews from all of your teammates? You hire Adam Mamawala. How do you NOT break the bank while still having fun? You hire Adam Mamawala.
Adam is a wonderful human who not only made us laugh with the most relatable topics but he was an absolute treasure to work with. He makes every interaction super easy and no frills which is always a huge plus. Hire him for your virtual events or your live events in a post-COVID world."
-Gabby Leung, VP of HR, H Code
"The hardest part about virtual events, after the actual engagement part, is if you want to plan something unique and interesting, it typically involves coordinating lots of little details, mailing things, timing everything right, etc. Working with Adam was a great way to offer a unique event with *drumroll* nearly zero planning. He was available, we worked out a time, we put something on the calendar. Super fun, super easy, and Adam was able to flex with our changing audience (kids suddenly joining)."
-Savanah Eichfeld, Human API
"Adam did a great job performing during our work team Zoom Happy Hour! He was great with our group of all ages & walks of life – witty, quick on his feet and just a much needed breathe of fresh air during this shelter-in-place craziness. This was a great way to use Zoom to truly connect, laugh and uplift spirits. If you are looking for something fun and different to bring your group together, I highly recommend Adam!"
-Kelley Bernal, Senior Vice President- EQ One
“Our team really needed some fun, light hearted entertainment as 2020 came to a close, it had been a long, tough year. Adam was such a breath of fresh air with his unique virtual comedy experience. Some team members were skeptical about yet another virtual event but we spent the entire time laughing and smiling together and it felt great! Adam was so professional from set-up all the way through follow up after the show was over. I highly recommend his show to anyone and everyone looking for some great entertainment in a virtual world and a reason to smile.”
-Jessica Keim, Sr Manager, Operations & Communications Strategy
"Adam performed an unforgettable comedy set at my sister's birthday party and everyone loved it. It takes a unique skill set to hop into a zoom portal of complete strangers and make them laugh and Adam was effortless. He also did an excellent job engaging people, including them, and cracking a wide range of jokes to reach the crowd. With over 300 million people remote right now, it's especially important for people to laugh. If you need someone to lighten up your teams mood, make a party fun, or engage an online group, Adam is your guy!"
- Erin McConlogue, Lumiere Sciences - Founder
“Since working from home I plan events for our company to keep everyone engaged and entertained. My experience with Adam from the beginning has been effortless! He was prepared with everything that I needed to promote his show on Google Meet: professional photos, bio and an introduction for me to use on the day of his performance. I'm proud to say that Adam's act had the biggest turnout of anything that I've planned so far. I'm still hearing how much everyone enjoyed his humor and wit! I highly recommend Adam for any event, you won't be sorry!”
-Kimberly Portulas, Office Manager/IT Support- Archer Education
"Adam did a 45 min comedy show for my team for our Holiday Party! He was fantastic and received rave reviews. He was super easy to work with and the show was perfect for our team! It really added a special feel to our party and I would highly recommend him to any other companies looking to add some fun into their corporate meetings/events!"
-Lisa Martin-Garlic, Co-Founder and COO, GoodPup
"I hired Adam for a birthday party event on Zoom during the coronavirus shelter-in-place order, because in-person gatherings weren't possible. The online comedy party was a huge success! People loved the show and I laughed a lot. I would definitely recommend Adam for your friends or any corporate gatherings for a fun virtual social hour."
-Katharine Bierce, Fortune 500 company employee and birthday party organizer
"When planning my 30 on 30 golden birthday celebration, I did not anticipate that I would be planning a virtual one, and was at a loss for what to do! Adam saved the day and provided laughs to a rather large Zoom call including my parents, relatives, friends from college, and friends from work. His set flew by and seeing smiles across 40 zoom screens was so rewarding. I was particularly impressed with how he was able to engage with the large audience and connect with them as if we were in person! It is a birthday I will cherish forever!"
- Ariana Papa, Facilities Manager — Fortune 20 company
"Virtual comedy? I bet you never thought about holding a virtual comedy night. Well, now is the perfect time and you won't regret it. As part of the Hillsborough Education Association's Social Committee, I wanted to bring some laughter to our members. Adam did! He provided a night of laughs when we all needed it most. His humor was something we could all relate to and it brought some light to our worlds. He's a natural and it was a huge success."
Grace Verano, Social Committee- Hillsborough Education Association
"Adam came to our team meeting as a surprise to the group and it couldn't have worked out better. Our team works across multiple locations (San Fran, New York, Dublin, London, Chicago) so these moments of virtual connection are so important for team bonding. We laughed through the whole meeting & said that laughter really is the best medicine. Thank you Adam for coming along and bringing such joy during such uncertain times."
