Fundraising
Based in New York and specializing in the LGBT market, Eddie Sarfaty has used his unique brand of comedy to help raise both funds and awareness for a variety of political, educational, charitable and social organizations.
An evening of Eddie's stand-up is an easy way to draw a crowd. With Eddie's show there are none of the high costs usually associated with live entertainment – no sets to build, no costumes to rent and no musicians to hire.
Eddie and his support staff can help you produce a successful comedy fundraiser anywhere – a theater, restaurant, community center, lecture hall, or even a private residence.
Working closely with your development staff, Eddie and his team will help you plan and promote an event that is both financially successful and fun. In addition to ensuring your audience is entertained, they will provide you with templates for flyers, posters and print advertisements, issue press releases and publicity stills, schedule interviews with local media outlets, work with you on procuring the support of corporate and private sponsors, handle ticketing, and book additional talent if required
