Adult private events
The best private party entertainment gives people something to talk about immediately.
For private parties, Seth moves through the room performing for small groups at a time. Guests see impossible moments inches away, conversations start naturally, and the party keeps its own rhythm.
This works especially well for cocktail parties, milestone birthdays, dinner parties, fundraisers, apartment parties, private dining rooms, rooftops, and events where a formal stage show would feel too stiff.
Parlor-style show
For seated groups, Seth can perform a focused 45 to 60 minute show, with shorter sessions available when the event calls for it.
Easy setup
The performance can fit apartments, restaurants, private clubs, rooftops, hotels, galleries, and event spaces across NYC and New Jersey.
