Questions Kevin's proxy answers
What's Kevin's background?
Kevin's journey is a pretty unique blend of tech startup hustle and comedy stage lights. He started his career as one of the first 10 employees at Splash, an event marketing software company, where he built their sales and customer success teams from the ground up and grew the retail vertical to over $1.3MM in its first year.
Then in 2020, he took that deep event industry knowledge and combined it with his passion for comedy — he's been performing stand-up and improv in NYC since 2013 at places like Gotham Comedy Club and Upright Citizens Brigade — and founded Laugh.Events. The idea was simple but powerful: bring customized comedy experiences to corporate teams as a tool for wellness, team building, and professional development. He calls it "Laughter as a Service," and it earned him a BizBash Industry Innovator award in 2023.
He's also a Georgetown McDonough School of Business alum, runs Laugh.Events alongside his wife out of Brooklyn, and even founded a sister company called Laugh.Studio that helps brands weave humor into their marketing campaigns. Basically, he's made it his mission to prove that laughter isn't just fun — it's good business. 😄
How did he get into comedy?
Kevin's path into comedy is a pretty organic story — he was always drawn to making people laugh, and living in New York gave him access to some of the best comedy venues and improv training grounds in the world. He started performing stand-up and improv on the NYC scene, including at places like Gotham Comedy Club and Upright Citizens Brigade.
What's interesting is that his comedy background and his business instincts eventually collided in the best way. When he was at Splash working in event tech, he saw firsthand how much corporate events could use a spark of genuine fun. That insight, combined with his love of performing, is really what led him to found Laugh.Events in 2020. Comedy wasn't just a hobby — it became his vehicle for solving a real workplace problem.
What drives his approach to corporate events?
Kevin genuinely believes laughter isn't just entertainment—it's a wellness tool that makes teams more resilient, creative, and connected. That's why he talks about "carving in" comedy rather than bolting it on as an afterthought; a 15-30 minute improv segment woven into an existing meeting can shift the entire energy of a team. His partnership with Harvard Medical School to explore the science behind laughter really says it all—he's committed to proving that this stuff works, not just feels good.
What is he focused on now?
Kevin's main focus right now is growing Laugh.Events and continuing to push the idea that laughter isn't just entertainment—it's a legitimate workplace wellness tool. He's particularly passionate about helping companies "carve in" comedy to their existing meetings and events, rather than treating it as a separate add-on. His partnership with Harvard Medical School on the science of laughter is a big part of how he's building that credibility.
What kind of events does Laugh.Events produce?
Laugh.Events specializes in customized comedy experiences for corporate teams — think virtual and in-person events where laughter isn't just the entertainment, it's the point. Kevin's signature approach is "carving in" comedy: rather than making it a separate event, he integrates 15-30 minute comedy segments directly into existing meetings and company gatherings.
The experiences range from stand-up comedy shows to improv-based team building activities, all tailored to fit a company's culture and goals. It's less "here's a comedian, enjoy" and more "here's how laughter can actually make your team work better together." That's the heart of what Kevin calls **Laughter as a Service**.
How does corporate comedy work?
Corporate comedy with Kevin is pretty different from what most people imagine — it's not about hiring a comedian to roast your CFO (unless that's your thing).
Kevin's approach is what he calls **"carving in"** laughter — taking an existing meeting or event and integrating a 15-30 minute comedy experience right into it. No need to schedule a whole separate event; it just becomes part of what you're already doing.
The experiences are **customized** to the team — so it feels relevant and personal, not like generic entertainment. And whether it's virtual or in-person, the goal is the same: use improv and comedy as tools for connection, stress relief, and even professional development.
He's actually partnered with Harvard Medical School on the science behind it — laughter has real, measurable benefits for teams. So it's not just fun, it's a legitimate **workplace wellness** tool. That's the "Laughter as a Service" idea he's pioneered.

What makes Laugh.Events different?
What makes Laugh.Events stand out is Kevin's philosophy of "carving in" laughter rather than treating it as a standalone add-on. Instead of a separate comedy show bolted onto your event, he integrates 15-30 minute comedy experiences directly into existing meetings and gatherings—making it feel natural rather than forced.
He also backs it up with science. Kevin partners with Harvard Medical School on research into laughter's measurable benefits, so this isn't just entertainment—it's positioned as a genuine wellness and team-building tool. That combination of comedic craft and scientific credibility is pretty rare in the corporate events space, which is part of why BizBash named him an Industry Innovator in 2023.
What is Laugh.Studio?
Laugh.Studio is Kevin's comedy-based creative agency that helps brands incorporate humor into their marketing and advertising campaigns. Think of it as the B2B creative arm of his comedy world — while Laugh.Events focuses on bringing laughter *to* corporate teams, Laugh.Studio helps brands communicate *with* their audiences through a comedic lens.
He launched it in 2021, building on everything he'd learned about what makes people laugh and how humor can forge genuine connections. For Kevin, it's a natural extension of his belief that laughter isn't just entertainment — it's a powerful tool for communication and engagement.
