Comedy Hosting isn’t as simple as getting on stage and saying some names. Take a lesson in How to Host from expert, and host with the most, Pete Giovine. In truth, hosting is the hardest and arguably the most important job in comedy. If you are a good Host, you can do anything. Hang out with Pete for 45 minutes to learn why the host sets the tone for the show, and how to do it successfully every time. Learn how to incorporate the duties of hosting into your personal comedic style, and how to turn an audience into an A+ crowd. Plus, Pete will share years worth of techniques and tricks he’s picked up to help you captivate your audiences attention, keep your shows running on time, and keep getting invited back for more stage time.
Instructor: Pete Giovine
Pete was raised on the Jersey shore and has the hair to prove it. He graduated American University in Washington DC where he worked on Capitol Hill. Once he moved to New York, he used his experience working in the government and went directly into comedy. While performing sketch and standup comedy, Pete co-created the popular variety show Beacher’s Madhouse in NYC in 2002. Having a large celebrity following, the show was brought to the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas a year later. Giovine opened the LA show at the Roosevelt Hotel in 2010 with Jeff Beacher and David Arquette and it still runs at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
As the high-energy host of the show Pete became the emcee to the stars hosting the 21st birthdays of Kelly Osbourne, Miley Cyrus, and serving as master of ceremonies to countless celebrity special events for the likes of Sandra Bullock, Hayden Panettiere, Maria Menounos, Floyd Mayweather, and Sean Penn.
For twelve years, Giovine directed all stage presentations for Beacher’s Madhouse including Cirque de Soleil acrobats, breakdancing routines, up and coming vocalists, and little person cover bands just to name a few. He also created acts for the stage for Derek Hough, Chris Brown, Gene Simmons, Kid Rock, Machine Gun Kelly, Craig Robinson, and 50 Cent. Pete is also a fixture in the club scene, co-hosting events with Carmen Electra, Jenny McCarthy, and Paris Hilton. He regularly serves as club hype man at Hakkasan Nightclub for the world’s top electronic DJ’s such as Tiesto, Calvin Harris, and Hardwell.
