Get them laughing, and they'll never stop listening
Dying is Easy.
Comedy is Hard.

About Us
Punch-It-Up is a brand-new service that puts the top comedy minds in Hollywood at your disposal 24/7 (except Yom Kippur). Just imagine: A comedy writers’ room full of Emmy Award-winners with over 100 years of experience, working just for you. We are serious about making you funnier!
Everyone who has ever given a speech knows the value of making the audience smile. It breaks the ice, lowers barriers, and grabs people’s attention. By contrast, there is nothing like the horrifying silence after telling a bad joke. Simply put, writing effective comedy is a super-delicate craft. It demands talent, knowledge, and a lot of experience. It’s like brain surgery, only less wet and sticky.
