When you think of retirement community entertainment, you might picture bingo nights or jazz bands from the 1950s. But thanks to Throwdown Entertainment, retirement communities are getting a much-needed dose of laughter without anyone needing to remember what time their meds are due!
Throwdown Entertainment is the brain child of comedy duo Sean Steele and Tucker Lenora, who specialize in cracking up older crowds. Their mission? To prove that humor doesn’t come with an expiration date. Forget what you’ve heard about “age-appropriate” humor. This team is flipping the script on what makes for a laugh-out loud show for old folks. And yes, it’s possible to laugh without needing a nap afterward! The duo’s show is a perfect blend of hilarious observations about getting older and relatable humor that doesn’t require an AARP membership to understand.
Steele says the shows they do at senior living communities are by far the most gratifying he’s done in comedy. “The connection with the audience is real and we appreciate their attention every bit as much as they seem to enjoy the performance.”
Their act isn’t just about telling jokes, it’s a fully interactive experience. In fact, audience participation is a big part of the fun. When was the last time your entertainment included shouting back answers to questions like, “Who here has forgotten their glasses today?” Or, “What’s the one thing you can never find, no matter how many times you check?” (Spoiler: the answer is usually your car keys, and you know it.)
They know how to keep their comedy fresh, fun, and dare we say “senior-friendly.” From tech mishaps to laughing at the fact that the term “early bird special” is now a lifestyle choice, their shows are designed to have everyone rolling in their chairs without having to get back up and stretch afterward.
Laughter keeps you young, just don’t ask for my birth certificate to prove it,” Steele chuckles. For a sample reel, or booking information contact Sean Steele at seansteele2010@ aol.com, or 904.333.9391.
