Manny Garavito Interactive comedy host and emcee based in Miami. I bring crowds together.

I need a centered performance space that’s unobstructed, so the audience has a clear view and I can engage in crowd work. A microphone with a sound system and adequate lighting are also required.

I need to know the type of venue (e.g. bar, corporate office, performance stage, etc.) to tailor my material and approach. This helps me understand the setting, audience expectations, and technical setup.

I can provide a portable sound system and basic lighting for an additional fee. Let me know in advance if the venue doesn’t have its own setup.

I perform seven nights a week, hosting my own stand-up comedy shows and networking events across Miami. So I’m lucky to say the best gig is every night I get to do what I love. Each show is special because of the amazing people I meet who come to laugh, connect, and share a great time. It’s not just about the venue, it’s about the energy we create together.

My favorite type of event is one where people are ready to share a fun experience together. When the crowd comes in with good energy and an open vibe, that’s when the magic really happens.

I’ve been doing stand-up comedy in Miami for over 15 years and have played a key role in developing the local comedy scene. I produce and host live shows and networking events across the city, and I also work as a comedy coach, helping others find their voice. What started as open mics and small gigs turned into a full-time passion. Now I perform and host events seven nights a week, bringing people together through laughter.

As a comedian, I’ve been most influenced by Bill Burr, Matt Rife, Jeff Arcuri, and Patrice O’Neal. I love their honesty, crowd work, and ability to turn raw moments into something hilarious. It’s hard to pick just one favorite, but Patrice had a fearless brilliance that really stuck with me. As for the greatest song of all time, that’s tough. But anything that sets a good vibe and gets the crowd loose is a win in my book.

My style blends stand-up, crowd work, and light roasting in a way that’s playful, smart, and always in tune with the room. I don’t just tell jokes, I create a shared experience with the audience that feels spontaneous and memorable. I was honored to be named Miami’s Best Comedian by the Miami New Times, and I bring that same energy and connection to every event I host.

I specialize in live comedy shows, private parties, corporate events, nightlife activations, and networking mixers, any event where people want to laugh and connect.

If the sound and lighting are already set up, I can get started right away. For a stand-up comedy act, I typically perform a 45-minute set. If you need an emcee or host, I can stay for the full duration of the event as long as it's planned in advance.

Yes

Clients are welcome to request specific topics or themes. I can perform crowd work on the spot or prepare custom material in advance including tailored jokes or a roast for an additional fee.

Previous clients often describe my performances as high-energy, engaging, and a great way to bring people together. They appreciate the mix of sharp crowd work, light roasting, and personalized humor that keeps the audience laughing and connected. Whether it’s a comedy show or a networking event, they often say I create a fun, memorable atmosphere that feels spontaneous but well-hosted.

Absolutely. Whether it's a networking mixer, corporate party, or private event, I know how to read the room and keep the energy high with natural transitions, good vibes, and sharp interaction.

Yes. Crowd interaction is a big part of what I do. I keep it light, respectful, and funny, whether it's quick riffs, playful roasting, or spotlighting someone for a laugh (in a good way).

I can write and perform custom material, including topic-based sets or roasts, for an additional fee. If you give me context in advance, I’ll make sure your guests get something truly unique.

No, my style is direct, unfiltered, and best suited for mature audiences. If children or more sensitive guests are present, it’s best to go with a different style of entertainment, as my comedy leans toward adult themes and topics.
