Oakland-Specific Venue and Event Planning
An Oakland event can range from a downtown executive gathering to a theater program, arena-scale production, campus event or East Bay hospitality experience. Program recommendations are based on the room, audience, schedule and desired result—not a generic package copied from another market.
Production planning can be evaluated for settings such as the Fox Theater, Paramount Theatre, Oakland Arena and downtown Oakland meeting properties. Venue references describe potential event environments only and do not imply an affiliation, endorsement or previous Elijah Edwards performance.
The initial planning conversation should include the event date, venue, room layout, expected attendance, audience profile, program placement, available staging and the experience you want guests to remember.

“I’ve worked with other comedy hypnotists in the past, and he was the best! We had a smaller crowd on our Friday show and Elijah was masterful. He was uber-professional, unflappable and great to work with. Run—don’t walk—to book him for your club or event!”— Darryl Knight, Tin Lizzie Gaming Resort
