Looking for something really cool at this year's holiday event?
How about singing comedy about work, direct from NYC?
More than ever, organizations need to connect their team members to each other and the organization. That's why The Water Coolers makes sense. We bring award-winning songs and sketch comedy about the challenges we all face at work -- think annoying co-workers, the panic of an accidentally sent email, never-ending meetings, and an unnatural attachment to your smartphone -- whether it's after dinner entertainment, pop-up performances throughout the day, or a big kick off, audiences relate to what's happening on stage and each other.
Think of a cross between the Office and the funniest YouTube parody you've ever seen, performed live by top NYC talent and you'll be getting the idea.
And we can add in a few special holiday carol parodies, if it fits the vibe of your event -- samples further down the page.
What People Are Saying...
Scot and the other cast BLEW THE ROOF OFF!!!
“They were Fabulous! Even though we knew the Water Coolers would be a hit, it far exceeded our expectations. Our audience kept heaping praise throughout the entire three days. Let me know if I can write a review or anything. Would be glad to do so. I'll certainly recommend the WCs to my colleagues for future events."
Marnie Herren // eVent Power, Director, Speaker Services
Brought the house down!
“The Water Coolers absolutely knocked it out of the park! The cast did an OUTSTANDING job and delighted our audience of over 2,000 attendees from 104 countries. The material was relevant and relatable to everyone...the final result was SPECTACULAR!”
Trish Pollock // Toastmasters International, Meeting & Travel Manager
I want you to know how absolutely blown away everyone in the room was by Courtney, Scot and Paul!!!
“They were AMAZING! They’re all so talented, and we feel like we hit the lottery having them at our meeting. The crowd was mesmerized—no one in the room knew what to expect when they came out on stage, but they wowed the socks off everyone with their voices, choreography, poise, creativeness, professionalism—they nailed the keynote, the melodies and the finale. We will remember this performance for a long time to come!
I have no doubt that this will be #1 highlight of this event! Thank you, thank you, thank you”I have no doubt that this will be #1 highlight of this event!...Just incredible!"
Karen Rice // Lincoln Financial Group, AVP, Distribution Training
My audience has seen it all, but I still need to wow them.
“The Water Coolers delivered a phenomenal session. Wow! I think the standing ovation says it all. I would recommend The Water Coolers to any organization. Attendees will be talking about it for a long time. Our only challenge -- how do we top it next year?”
Anne Blouin // American Society of Association Executives, Chief Learning Officer
Wanted to launch our event in an exciting way...
“The Water Coolers do their homework and create something timely, unique and dead on accurate to your audience. Their presentation was an energetic and hilarious kick off to our conference. I am still laughing. As a bonus, they are delightful to work with.”
Karen Kotowski // Events Industry Council, CEO
Here are a few, slightly longer performance clips to give a feel for our act...
I Want It Back
A song for anyone who's every desperately Googled, "retrieve sent email."
We Can Do Anything You Want (But We Won't Do That)
A hilarious look at passive-aggressive change resistance set to Meatloaf’s “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)”.
Networking Event
Some people love them, some people hate them. OK. We all hate them.
iPhone
Remember when being away from the office meant being out of reach? Yeah, me neither. This is a version created for social media -- it's a huge success in performance.
Working In The Meeting
A tribute to that place where we all go to catch up on all our work.
The Loiterer
Our tribute to that guy who struggles with subtle hints. Like "get out."

Something for that colleague who has never grasped the concept of an "indoor voice."
Guy From Indecision
Game Show
A fast-pace, fun, audience participatory look at team-building in the guise of a musical game show. The game show questions are customized and the client chooses the participants. We EXCEL at creating an experience where the participants look like rock stars and the audience has a ball. NOTE: this clip is from a virtual show.
Backstabber
Et tu Brute? This is a green screen video we created for social media -- I don't have performance footage on this one either. Audiences LOVE it.
Powerpoint
Open Office
Zoom Me!
Symposium Rhapsody
Flying In Economy
Favorite line: It's like a DMV up in the sky...shout out to our colleagues who travel.

My In-Laws Are Coming To Town
Sung to the tune of Santa Claus is Coming to Town, here's a little tribute to family at the holidays.
I Told My Boss He Could Kiss My Butt
An all new interpretation of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, about that guy who never quite grasps the difference between Office Holiday Party and Spring Break.
Need a Shorter Christmas
For anyone who thinks Columbus Day is a little too soon to kick off the holiday season.

An ode to the annual gift exchange, performed to the tune of Happy Holidays.
