ABOUT

Ansley Corporate Entertainment specializes in curated and interactive entertainment for corporations looking for fun and creative ways to engage their team - both in-person and online.

Our three primary areas of focus are:

  • Emcee + Corporate Entertainment

  • Keynote Speaking

  • Public Speaking Skills Training

At the heart of our vibrant and engaging entertainment experiences is our founder and Chief Entertainment Officer, Lauren Ansley. Lauren is not your typical entertainer – she's a corporate entertainer, public speaking skills trainer, speaker, emcee, and humorist, all rolled into one.

Lauren built her skills on stage, and it all began by taking a stand-up comedy class. What initially started as a hobby quickly evolved into a business focused on entertaining and connecting audiences.

In 2019, fueled by passion and determination, Lauren took a bold leap. She sold her house, left her job, and founded her first venture – a stand-up comedy show production company called “Beerly Funny.”

Lauren partnered with local breweries in the greater Charlotte, NC - USA region, producing professional comedy shows dedicated to spreading joy and laughter, supporting local businesses, and elevating comedy as an art form.

The year 2020 brought unexpected challenges, causing Lauren to pivot her business model. Undeterred, she transitioned to offering online comedy shows, bringing laughter to audiences despite the physical distance.

A pivotal moment came when an employee from Microsoft reached out, seeking Lauren’s expertise to produce a series of virtual comedy shows for their teams. She had seen Lauren host a comedy show several months prior.

From that moment, Lauren seamlessly blended her background in event planning with her emcee skills to connect audiences and enhance team dynamics. Ansley Corporate Entertainment was born, specializing in curated, customized, and engaging entertainment for corporations.

We bring fun and creativity to teams, whether they gather in person or connect online.

Today, Ansley Corporate Entertainment is synonymous with unique, memorable, and impactful experiences. We understand the power of laughter, and we specialize in helping companies engage their teams, improve communication, foster connections, and, most importantly, have a great time together.

Join us in creating moments of joy, laughter, and connection – because at Ansley Corporate Entertainment, we believe that great teams are the ones that laugh together!

TESTIMONIALS

  • US Conference Emcee

    Lauren was a key success factor in the successful execution of our US Finance Conference earlier this year where she served as our emcee. She was upbeat, helpful, and let us through a variety of fun icebreakers and engaging entertainment.

    Rudolf Wagner, Siemens

  • Keynote Speaking

    Come for the training, stay for the entertainment! Initially booked Lauren as part of a three-speaker line-up for a local SHRM Chapter half-day event. Later added virtual music bingo as a wrap-up social event. Lauren’s session and virtual music bingo with her and DJ Jeff were both big hits. You should definitely consider Lauren and her associates if you are looking for something fun and different to add to your next event.

    Brandon Elrod, Catawba Valley SHRM

  • Public Speaking Skills Training

    This was such a well-crafted and curated training, and I appreciate how tailored it was for our needs while also allowing our members the space to learn and grow with their own needs. Great job, and so appreciated! It was also FUN.

  • Holiday Parties

    Lauren helped us pull together 4 different holiday parties for our global company and I must say it was a success!! I love the versatility that she offers for entertainment which allows for us to not get bored or the event to become dull. The last thing we want during these times of covid is another Zoom meeting but rather than Zoom us OUT her and the team really zoomed us IN!! Thank you to Lauren and her staff for an absolute incredible event!!

    Shrin Amiri, DATASTAX

  • Grand Opening Event Emcee

    Lauren is amazing! She’s hilarious! She came to my opening event for my HOTWORX business and was the emcee. I couldn’t do it without her! Raffles, music bingo, and challenges! We all had so much fun! 10/10 recommend using her services for anything your business needs in terms of entertainment!

    Taylor Hicks, HOTWORX

  • Conference Emcee

    Lauren served as the Emcee for a women's conference that I hosted and hiring her was my favorite thing about the event! Leading up to the event Lauren spent a lot of time with me brainstorming opportunities to keep everything flowing and exciting for the participants. Our attendees were laughing within the first 30 seconds, and she kept them engaged, informed and happy throughout the event. I give Lauren Ansley my highest and best recommendation without hesitation.

    Monica Young, Mojo Young

  • Keynote Speaker

    Lauren Ansley really knocked it out of the ballpark at our January Charlotte Area SHRM meeting! Not knowing what to expect when placing a comedian in the middle of a group of HR professionals, I was thrilled at their reaction. Lots of laughter! The group was totally involved in the mini-breakout sessions and very active in sharing their thoughts about the topic of perseverance. It was a great way to kick off the new year!

    Cathy Graham, VP, Education and Certification, Charlotte Area Society for Human Resources Management

  • Speed Networking Facilitator

    How do you handle 300 plus attendees for a session of speed networking—the answer is Lauren Ansley! She guided us with ease and humor, streamlining this valuable networking session for our conference. Her orchestration and ability to make it fun, keep us moving and engaged attributed to a seamless and positive experience for all.
