How well do you think you know someone? We'll find out during the Couples' Challenge!
The Couple's Challenge is hilarious, quick paced, unique, clean comedy show that combines stand-up comedy with a little bit of the "Newlywed Game" and a little bit of the "Match Game" It's fun, and clean but wildly entertaining. Hosted by comedian Scotty Gunther, the 2008 and 2009 GIGMASTER's Rising Star award-winning top emcee in North America, author, "Relationship Realist" and nationally syndicated radio personality!
Up to five couples or Co-workers sit on the stage facing away from each other and are asked a series of questions that everyone should know about their partner or fellow employee. Teams are asked to write down their answers and if the answers match, points are given. Simple, right? WRONG!
F.A.Q.
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Q. Will this show fit my event?
A. YES! If your guests love to smile, laugh, and have a great time, The Couples' Challenge will fit your event! This show is perfect for corporate functions, colleges, holiday parties, nightclubs, restaurants, casinos and any event where you want fun, clean entertainment.
Q. What if my event doesn't consist of couples?
A. The great thing about the Challenge is that this show can be tailored to your event. It doesn't matter if you are a group of friends, family, strangers, or any other type of event or group. This show will make everyone laugh!! The participants will have fun, as well as entertaining the audience. There is something for everyone! We just need some teams made up of two people, which is easily done because they just have to know "a little" about someone else. (It's funnier when they don't know much!) The two people on each team don't need to know the other teams. Just each other! (It's better when they don't.) This is why the Couples' Challenge is great for Chamber of Commerce events, conferences, festivals, colleges, nightclubs, restaurants, casinos, comedy clubs, and any event with a large diverse group of people. It's the perfect icebreaker, because everyone is entertained and it brings your guests closer together. (Which is the whole purpose of having an event!)

Q. We have seen the Newlywed game, is this show only about relationships and sex and adult themes?
A. NO! This show is NOT the newlywed game! It's a comedy show that is all about how well someone "thinks" they know another person. The questions and content is NOT dirty and this show is NOT just for married couples, or couples in a relationship. We have had husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, co-workers, best friends, or family members all on stage at the same time. All the comedy in The Couples' Challenge is clean, tasteful and appropriate for corporate audiences, while still being "laugh till you hurt" funny. The clean comedy and variety aspects of The Couples' Challenge show make it a perfect choice for any audience. This show is in high demand to provide laugh-packed entertainment for conventions, corporate, or ANY event across the United States. (****NOTE**** If you have an all adult audience. We can provide a little more risqué show without being crude or vulgar by request only.)
Q. Do we need a lot of room? Is there a large set up?
A. No, this fits any size room! There is minimum set up, You just need a few chairs and we bring the rest.
Q. We were looking to hire a comedian or a magician, is this a better option?
A. Yes, this show is better than just a comedian because it becomes about your guests. We have a award-winning comedian, speaker, author and radio personality hosting the show, so there are a ton of jokes and bits while your guests become stars of this show and provide "one of a kind" content. It's just more interactive and exciting than a comedian standing on stage talking about himself, or a magician doing silly magic tricks people have seen a million times!

A. The Couples' Challenge show has countless options and many applications. The Couples' Challenge is perfect for colleges, festivals, parties and any other social event you can think up!

Q. Is The Couples' Challenge some type of fitness or sports challenge?
A. Ha-ha, NO! Your guests will sit in chairs, answer questions, laugh, and are not required to do a single push or pull up!
Q. How is this show fun for the audience members who are NOT participating?
A. Remember, this is a comedy show! The audience is not forgotten. It's fun watching others participate because they give goofy answers that become the catalyst for the comedy and improv. This show is different than a game show because it's used to create comedy, funny moments, and bits. The participants answers are a "jumping off point." If it was "JUST" the activity and you were relying on that, which might be boring for an audience. But this is a comedy show that happens to have people on stage too.
Q. Can the questions in The Couples' Challenge be tailored to fit our event.
A. Yes!! And they will be, depending on the type of show and audience you have.
Q. Who provides the prizes?

Q. Can't I just be uncreative, rip this idea off, and do this myself?
A. No!The Couples' Challenge and The Co-Workers' Challenge are copyrighted property, and just because you try to steal the idea, it's not going to be the same! It's NOT the concept; it's the host, Scotty Gunther that makes this show one of the most sought after corporate comedy entertainment shows in North America.

(Chances are, you will just crash it into the wall!)
