The Groundlings Booking Agency Profile

Book The Groundlings for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
The Groundlings is an improv and sketch comedy theatre located in Los Angeles that has been around since 1974. Gary Austin founded the theatre and they are a non-profit organization. The Groundlings has seen the likes of now famous celebrities such as Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Lisa Kudrow, Cheryl Hines, Jon Lovitz, Will Forte, Maya Rudolph, Kathy Griffin, Chris Parnell, and Phil Hartman all of whom are alumnis. When the organization started there were only 50 people and they would put together skits for the show and then perform the best ones on the weekend. Soon after, Lily Tomlin was coming to see the show and Lorne Michaels would come and cast the members for Saturday Night Live. They were soon getting more and more buzz and hype and the members grew from 50 to 90 and they started asking for people to audition before they could join. In 1979 The Groundlings started a School. A few years down the line The Sunday Company was started to give the talent in school more to work on. The Main Company decides who moves from the school, to The Sunday Company. From there, The Main Company decides again, who moves on from The Sunday Company onto becoming a Groundling. They still hold these rules currently, and make sure they pick the best of the best to become a Groundling. .

"How much does it cost to book The Groundlings for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final The Groundlings booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will The Groundlings charge for an event. An example fee to book The Groundlings is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the The Groundlings agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The The Groundlings manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book The Groundlings for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Groundlings agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Groundlings, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the The Groundlings booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for The Groundlings, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
