Angela
Riccio combines her quick wit with years of experience as a stand-up comedienne
to create a variety of entertainment options, customized to your specific needs.
Whether you’re looking for a party mingler, a murder mystery, stage
comedy, or a
parody speech to enliven a business seminar, Angela will provide
an unforgettably funny experience for you and your guests.
She is skilled at adapting her comedy to her clients’ particular
situations and scenarios. The
result: riotous fun when her
character arrives and dazzles your guests with her zany humor, tailored to fit
your special event.
Character Comedy
Choose from Angela’s collection of characters or work with her to develop a new, fully customized personality to debut at your party.
Either way, with the information you provide, her performance will include inside jokes and running gags about your guest of honor or circle of friends that will have them wondering “how did she know about that?”
Angel is a sweet innocent, immune to the vulgarities of life, Peaches
is soft as a marshmallow unless someone interferes with her Bingo game, and June Bug is a fresh-faced, country bumpkin.
Angela also does take offs on celebrities with her Pre-Madonna,
Mary Lynn Monroe,
and karaoke Frankie Sinatra. Other characters are situation-based.

Murder Mysteries
First there was Angie Dickinson as "Pepper" in Police Woman. Then we had Angela Lansbury as
"Jessica Fletcher" in Murder She Wrote. Now, there is Angela Riccio as
"Ella Mentry" (my dear Watson) in your own personal whodunit.
Angela’s 7 years of experience as a partner in Murder Mystery Productions prepared her well for a solo detective act. In addition to her role as a principal performer, she was a writer and producer of these popular interactive shows.
Angela usually plays the part of an outlandish party guest and murder victim whose death scene will long be remembered. After the body has been removed, with a quick change she reappears as a different character who then assists the detective (you or a party guest of your choosing). This format is an effective yet entertaining approach for involving the partygoers and bringing the evening to a successful conclusion. Angela's ability to improvise and adapt will allow her to incorporate your ideas into the murder mystery event.

Parody Speeches
Are you worried about audience fatigue during long seminars and workshops? Do you wonder how to recapture the focus,
especially after lunch? Angela adds a welcome comedy break when she shows up as the clueless
consultant. She uses all the right buzz words but most of the audience will soon discover that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She will
'run it up the flagpole after getting all her ducks in a row, then inform her audience that
a meeting will be called to form a task force to discuss the issues and analyze the obstacles
after which they will create a report to communicate the findings.' She never sees problems, just opportunities. And if she discovers one of the attendees earnestly taking notes, she will know how to milk it for maximum laughs.

Roasts
Angela will roast your guest of honor in the usual way you do a roast. What more do you want us to say about a
roast? You either know what it is or you don’t. Have you heard of the Friar’s
Club? Hello!

Stage Comedy
Not the “did you ever notice” or “why don’t they make the whole plane out of the black box” kind of comedy. Angela
keeps her audience in stitches using stories about her family (taking her widowed aunt to the
cemetery to do drive-by Hail Marys), the bumpy transformation from
lifelong singlehood to committed relationship, her unusual outlook on how things work and why people act the way they do, and her super
human ability to remember inane useless information.
