About

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 amazing to work with and my team thoroughly enjoyed his fresh perspective on embracing change. He knew when to bring in comedy and when to bring in life experiences that would engage the minds of his audience, and everyone walked away feeling empowered!

We hired Mr. Hackett to entertain at my Mother's 70th birthday party. He made the event memorable. Everyone was happy and laughing. Thank you Sandy for going above and beyond our expectations.

Actually "working" with Sandy Hackett shouldn't be considered work. He is not only extremely talented and funny, but he considers everyone he deals with as an integral and equal piece to his success. Our fundraiser was just as successful as can be all due to Sandy. i can't wait to have another event with him. He has always responded to every concern I have ever had, no matter the day or hour. You can always count on Sandy. He is just a pleasure to work with.
