I’m a veteran stand-up comedian and host with over 40 years of experience performing for live audiences across the country. I spent 10 years touring with my father, Buddy Hackett, and have appeared with artists including Kenny Rogers, Paul Anka, Smokey Robinson, The Oak Ridge Boys, and many others. I’ve also been featured on HBO, Showtime and You Tube. More importantly, I know how to deliver a show that works for your audience. I’ve performed over 15,000 shows for more than 5 million people in a wide range of settings—from corporate events and private parties to theaters, country clubs, and senior communities. I tailor my material to the room, keep the energy up, and make sure the audience is engaged from start to finish. In addition to stand-up, I offer a highly interactive segment where I involve a guest or audience member into the performance—something that consistently gets great reactions and makes the event feel personal and memorable. If you’re looking for someone experienced, professional, and easy to work with who can deliver a strong, funny, and entertaining show, I’d love to be part of your event.

Sandy was an amazing asset to my mother's 90th birthday party. He inserted my mom into his act and she absolutely loved it. Her friends were eating it up. Everyone was laughing and enjoying his bit. He was perfect for my mom, our family and friends!! We loved him! Thank you!!

I hired Sandy to perform at my wife’s birthday party, and the entire experience was effortless. From start to finish, working with him was enjoyable — he’s a stellar communicator who genuinely cares about delivering a memorable performance. Sandy takes the time to research his audience, ensuring he meets your expectations, and he’s remarkably adaptable, welcoming suggestions to tailor his content. When it came time for the show, he absolutely shone. Sandy has a rare gift for reading the room, engaging the crowd, and making everyone feel like part of the fun. The result? An unforgettable experience that had our guests buzzing all night. Even a well-known comedian in attendance couldn’t stop raving about his set. Five stars, a hearty thumbs-up, a million likes, and a cargo plane brimming with gratitude for the joy he brought to our celebration. I highly recommended Sandy —book him, and you won’t be disappointed!

We had the pleasure of having Sandy perform for our family at a birthday dinner recently. We were thrilled that he was willing to prepare a personalized routine for our intimate group and more than that, tastefully and professionally involve each person in his act! He spent some time getting to know us and shared a little about himself as well. Sandy’s act was collaborative, versatile and entertaining and his character was personable and relatable. His service and expertise made hosting the party enjoyable and by the end of the night it felt as though he had become a friend. We are looking forward to inviting him to perform for future events.
