About this Event
Business cards are boring - let’s try comedy instead!
This will be the most you’ve ever laughed at a networking event!
No more awkward small talk, silently exchanging business cards, nodding politely during conversations that aren’t going anywhere - we built something better!
This is a networking event for founders and builders (and anyone who's tired of small talk) that’s complete with live stand up comedy sets - because shared laughter breaks the ice way faster than "so, what do you do?"
On top of that, there will be My Creative Break-style icebreakers and group activities built to get you past the pitch and into a real conversation.
And yes, it's 100% okay to show up solo. That's kind of the point. No awkward standing by yourself in a corner, no forcing yourself into a conversation that's already happening. We take the awkward out of networking, so you can just show up and connect.
This event is for you if:
- You're building or looking to build something. Whether it's a startup, a side hustle, or a career pivot - the best opportunities come from unexpected conversations, not cold LinkedIn messages.
- You’re looking to make real connections. Our activities are designed to get past "nice to meet you" and into who you actually are — and what you're actually building.
- You’re tired of traditional networking. You’re looking to connect with inspiring people in a fun way.
- You’re an introvert and get intimidated approaching people you don’t know. That’s our forté - we’ll make sure you’re never alone. (Extroverts are welcome too).
- You want to laugh and have a good time!
Your ticket includes:
- 1 drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
