Call McCall.

Mic in one hand. The room in the palm of the other.

You bring the occasion. I’ll bring the room together.

You’ve got people to celebrate, entertain, or bring together. I’ve got a microphone—and ideas. I can host the event, help shape it, or dream up the games and moments that make it yours.

I host the thing. I also help make the thing happen: find the people, coax the willing-but-nervous into performing, arrange the acts, call them up, and carry the room from one moment to the next.

Warm, quick on my feet, and very comfortable with a microphone. You can hand me a running order—or we can build one together.

Let’s play with the possibilities.

What kind of trouble are we getting everyone into?

A few jumping-off points. Mix them up, make them personal, or bring me the idea you haven’t figured out how to pull off yet.

Make it about them.

Custom trivia for your guests—or about the guest of honor. The stories, the quirks, the “how did you know that?” details. Birthdays, milestones, celebrations with a little more personality.

Get everybody playing.

Custom carnival games, face painting, improv games, Improv Olympics, regular bingo, or music bingo. Let’s find the kind of participation that fits your people.

Give the talent a stage.

Talent shows and variety nights: gather the performers, coax the willing-but-nervous into giving it a go, arrange the acts, call them up, and emcee the show.

Give the room a soundtrack.

Music, DJ and KJ ideas, regular karaoke, or Wrong Genre karaoke. Sing along, take the mic, or let the music carry the party. We’ll work out the right format and setup together.

Give people their moment.

Awards ceremonies, fundraisers, benefits, community gatherings, private parties. Make the introductions, celebrate the people, and keep the room with us.

Something wonderfully specific?

Good. Tell me. The fun part is figuring out what would make your people come alive—not handing every room the same evening.

All right. What’s the occasion?

Let’s get the particulars straight.

I’m based in Los Angeles. Tell me where, when, how many people, and what you want the event to feel like. We’ll sort out the format, timing, sound setup, travel, and fee together.

We’ll confirm the details and the booking together. First, let’s talk. Call McCall: (213) 308-6915.

And then there’s my Circus.

I’m also the creator and Ringmistress of Wrong Genre Circus. Familiar songs, unexpected musical lives, and people discovering what happens when they stop trying to sound like someone else.

The online community is singing now. Want to bring Wrong Genre karaoke into your event? Let’s talk about the format we’re developing.
