Live Performances & Workshops

I recently have had my 3rd partnership with North Coast at different organizations and I’ve been continously impressed by them! This time around I was more heavily involved in the planning phase and was blown away at how they personalized the show for the audience and occasion we were celebrating including utilizing our physical product, wearing the color of our theme and leaning into personal insights we gave them about folks on our team. 10/10 recommend!
— Samantha Strube, air-Up
 
I have hired North Coast for numerous events including corporate meetings, holiday parties and even my own “birthday conference” and they never disappoint. Whether its a workshop or a performance, North Coast always delivers. This group of smart and funny comedians are easy and professional to work with and are the perfect way to add value to an event. I’ve personally recommended them to over a dozen colleagues already!
— NICK GRAY, Founder of Museum Hack & How To Throw A Party
 
 

In addition to “Hip Hop Improv” performances and workshops that we offer in New York City, North Coast frequently travels to schools and businesses around the world to perform and lead workshops on improv scenework, freestyle rapping, and beginner beatboxing. We also offer virtual events.

Classes promote teamwork, improve listening skills, and encourage creativity in a fun and low-pressure environment that is ideal for both corporate and school groups. We can cater our performance or workshop to any audience, student, or age-group. Our client list contains everything from major corporations and universities to small start-up companies and schools. 

For those looking to take their Bridal Shower, Birthday, or Bachelor(ette) party to the next level, North Coast is also available for private events. We’ll interview your guest of honor and treat them to a fully improvised show that’s all about them! 

 
 

We hired the North Coast team to provide entertainment for a fundraiser. We were looking for an act that was fun, entertaining, original and unlike any other performer we’ve had in the past — and you can’t believe how perfectly North Coast fit that description. The show was hilarious. We all kept looking at each other and mouthing the same phrase: ‘How do they do that?!

What people are saying

Adam Mastrelli, IBM Blockchain Ventures

"North Coast does all of the things! Not only did the team deliver a truly memorable performance for my event, (literally people keep singing their songs) but they also had a room full of 40 successful blockchain startups believing that they'd raised millions of dollars for a project before they launched into their act! They can blend in as well as stand out! They do it all. "

 
 
In my thirty year professional career I have engaged many performers for corporate events to connect with the audience, enhance the venue message, and create a vibe that resonates with the group. All too often, either the message gets lost, the entertainment factor is a yawn, or the relevance is missing. When North Coast started their improvisational rap [this was the first time in my career that] something transformational happened: The entertainment become one with the message and a resounding level of joy echoed through the theater at Harvard. I am so grateful that Doug, as the leader of North Coast, led his team of talented artists to capture the spirit and culture of our company in a smart expertly delivered performance. Bravo!

Flatiron is known for its creativity, community, and culture, so we were excited to have North Coast perform during our Summer Series on the Flatiron Public Plazas, entertaining hundreds of passersby with improv music that they created right on the spot. They were lively, friendly, hip and fun – a perfect fit for the flavor of Flatiron!
— Jennifer Brown, Executive Director of the Flatiron / 23rd Street Partnership Business Improvement District
We brought North Coast to Quinnipiac University to teach our Fraternity & Sorority Life students the value of improv comedy and why it matters for effective leadership. The students very much enjoyed the chance to learn from North Coast’s very talented improv team, which helped each student identify ways to add to and build the conversation, rather than put on the metaphorical brakes. Booking them for the program was absolutely painless. They worked within our budget and provided one heck of a performance for students to enjoy. I highly recommend their professional services, their collective talent, and their overall sense of humor.
— Kyle Hickman, Assistant Director – Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life, Quinnipiac University
North Coast delivered an exceptional program for our team offsite! The performers were professional, talented, and delivered insights for our team that our staff were immediately able to apply to improve their client interactions the next day. Doug met with our executive team in advance of our staff offsite to help plan the key learnings and breakout programming for the day. The program from North Coast was a highlight of our offsite. I would highly recommend North Coast to any company, especially those in the service industry.
