Knockouts

The scene is loud, we’re curated. We're a boutique strategic brand partnerships and production services consultancy that connects innovative brands with comedians, cultural influencers, and emerging talent. Our firm specializes in creating impactful, culturally relevant brand activations through the unique lens of humor, authenticity, and storytelling. We produce comedy festivals, shows, networking events, corporate workshops and digital content showcasing emerging talent and elevating brand voices. We have partnered and produced branded content featuring comedians with over 50 brands including Red Bull, Spindrift, New Belgium, and Arlo Hotels. We launched Knockouts Women's Comedy Festival in March 2024, an annual festival that takes place during women's history month in NYC. The festival includes 50+ shows, 25+ venues and 100+ comedians. Our showcase competitions attract over 1,000 applicants, with only a few selected to perform for cash prizes among pro comedians. The festival has attracted talent from Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Saturday Night Live, Comedy Central, amongst others. The festival has been featured in the New York Times, Time Out NY, Pix 11, NY1, Thrillist, and Fox5. Knockouts Artists Association is a members-only community of comedians, performers, writers, and actors. Our membership provides webinars and panels featuring industry leaders, mixers and meet & greets, products from our brand partners, monthly newsletters, members only forums, casting and booking opportunities, and much more. Through our events and educational opportunities, both online and in-person, we are creating a supportive community to help artists grow, connect, and succeed in the industry.
