I have 45 minutes of PG 13/corporate clean comedy in French & in English and can also program a full 60-90 min of comedy if required. I do not do shows for kids or religious events.
Rachelle knows how to read a crowd and get them laughing.... She is soo funny!!!! We hired her for our work Christmas party which was December 02, 2023. Everyone loved her!! She got everyone involved which is really nice. I would not hesitate to hire her again.....
Response from Rachelle Elie:
Thanks so much Monique!
It was a pleasure to bring my comedy to your group!!

Rachelle hit the mark her entire performance. We hired her to perform at a 50th birthday party and she had the entire crowd (ages 30-80) roaring with laughter. She was professional, organized and every joke landed! 100% recommend her for your next event.
Response from Rachelle Elie:
Thanks Blaize!
That was so much fun and I felt truly honoured to be a part of your fabulous event.
I look forward to working with you again one day!
Rachelle Ellie performed for our conference in October of 2023. She was absolutely fantastic in every way.
Her professionalism was evident from the moment she stepped onto the stage. She exuded confidence and composure, which immediately put the audience at ease. It's clear that she takes her craft seriously and respects her audience. Her comedic timing was great! She read the room easily and was able to connect with the crowd on a deep level, making us feel like she was one of us.
Her material was so funny and relatable! She brought out the comedian in all of us!
At the end of her show, she took the time to interact with the audience, answering questions, and engaging in conversations. It was clear that she genuinely cared about the crowd and was appreciative of our support.
Thanks Rachelle! Can’t wait to see you again!
Rachelle performed for my wife's 50th birthday party and was a huge hit. Rachelle incorporated several aspects of my wife's personality into her show and had everyone laughing. I would highly recommend her!
Rachelle was great to work with. She responded to emails right away and was at the venue early to set up. All comedians had as laughing through the whole show. Would highly recommend them for any event!!!
Rachelle was the host of our recent corporate holiday party - what a breath of fresh air! After our group went such a long time without any networking events, having her come in and shake up and wake up the crowd was amazing. She's hilarious and had us all in absolute stitches. The entire experience was amplified by her charisma and electric personality. Simply, marvellous.
Response from Rachelle Elie:
Thanks so much for the lovely review Angela! That was such a fun night and it was a pleasure to work with you and John on this. Happy Holidays to you and hope our paths cross again one day.
Best,
Rachelle
Rachelle was a great addition to our company Christmas party. Very funny and was a pleasure to work with to put together a roast.
Response from Rachelle Elie:
Thanks so much Jess! What a fun night that was.
Rachelle organized a comedy presentation for our workplace via Zoom and it was a really good time. She was great to work with throughout the process and her comedy was very funny.
We hired Rachelle for a virtual employee appreciation event. She was very easy to work with! Rachelle took the time and made it a point to learn about us and made mention of things particular to us here and there throughout her act. We had requested a clean PG-13 performance and, as it was the first time for us having a comedian at an event, we were a wee bit nervous but she came through for us, even checking to see if certain bits in her act might be pushing the envelope. Rachelle's personalization, attention to detail, fabulous funniness and positive energy was a winning combination and just what the doctor ordered. I would highly recommend Rachelle and wouldn't hesitate at all to hire her again for a future event!
Response from Rachelle Elie:
Thank you so much for this lovely review Elizabeth! It was a pleasure to work with you and with the CMPA Staff Association. I look forward to the day we are back to doing LIVE shows, but seeing your 300 staff members smiling at me through Zoom and hearing their laughter truly made my day.
All the best,
Rachelle
Rachelle was so wonderful to work with and super easy going! She was hired for an execute government event and she ensured her content was corporate clean as requested. We had some really positive feedback from the audience and they really highlighted that laughter is very much needed especially during these uncertain times! thank you Rachelle and we hope to work with you in the near future!!
Response from Rachelle Elie:
Thanks for the wonderful opportunity! It was a pleasure to work with your group and I really appreciated the opportunity.
In addition to her sense of humour, Rachelle is an organizer and clear thinker. As an MC or a stand-up, there are fewer better.
We hired Rachelle for a party for international women’s day. The audience of 200 women were in stitches.Rochelle has a great personality and is a pleasure to work with. We got amazing feedback from our audience after her show. Would highly recommend.
Rachelle was a joy to work with as the MC for my wedding. Notwithstanding her awesome and witty personality, she was organized and on the ball when it came to preparing for and fulfilling her role as the MC. She also delivered a smashing comedy skit after our dinner. I would definitely do again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to add a fun and light hearted touch to an event.
Response from Rachelle Elie:
Awwww Thanks so much Louise! It was such a pleasure to work with you and an honour to be a part in your wedding day. You have a great family and fabulous friends! I really enjoyed myself. Wishing you and Dino many, many years of love and happiness.
xo Rachelle
Great energy and enthusiasm! The guests at our fundraiser loved Rachelle, and I had a number of them ask me where I found her.
She held everyone’s attention, and kept her jokes clean, as we had requested due to the demographics of our guests.

I am a professional stand up comedian and have been making people laugh for the last 25 years. Comedy is what I do best. My comedy tends to be risqué but I can do PG 13 if need be. I do not perform for kids under 13 yrs of age.
I am also a producer and have been putting on comedy/variety shows since the 90's. I can create an evening that will suit your event needs. I have produced evenings for 50-500 so if you provide the audience I can provide the fun! One of the services I provide is a phone call to hammer out all the details so we can best figure out what type of show will meet your budget.
Maybe you want
-an evening of stand up comedy with four comedians & me as your host for a 60-120 min show?
-or me as opener and a big name headliner for a 60-90 min?
-or two opening acts and me as a headliner for a 60-120 min?
-An evening of variety? Music, Magic & Comedy?
-Maybe during cocktail hour you would like a Crooner to entertain your guests before the show starts?
There are so many fabulous possibilities! All of these details factor into my quote so the more detailed you can be the better I can quote you.
Details like :
-how far away you are from Ottawa?
-do you need an intermission?
-How long of a show do you want?
-Am I doing strictly stand up comedy or are there other requirements lie announcements?
These details will affect pricing.
I travel with my own glittery backdrop and can bring sound and lights if necessary for an extra cost.
I want the client to be happy so if the request is to keep the show clean I will respect your wishes so that you are satisfied with your result. Ultimately if the client is happy I am happy.
I adore making people laugh and any opportunity to do what I do best leaves me smiling. With 25 years experience performing and producing shows if you hire me you can rest assured you are in good hands.
Rachelle is a bilingual comedian, actress and producer based out of Montreal. Elie has written and performed five one-woman shows. Elie has participated in the First Air Arctic Comedy Festival, Hub Cap Comedy Festival, Boston Women In Comedy Festival, Just For Laughs, Juste Pour Rire & the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Her CD S#!t I’m In Love With You plays regularly on Just For Laughs Radio and she is featured on the Just For Laughs Originals label. Three years ago Rachelle started performing comedy in French and since then has done two televised Gala’s at the Juste Pour Rire Festival in Montreal and the Comedi Ha Festival in Quebec. This past summer French celebrity Rachid Badouri invited Rachelle to perform in his Just Pour Chill gala for an audience of 10,000 people. Elie also presented her first french hour this summer and held the record for most shows at OFFJFL-ZooFest in 2022. Check out her 10 five star reviews here!! Rachelle has done comedy for Good Foods, Altima, CMPA, Canada Revenue Agency, Health Canada, CRA and Ericsson to name a few.
I require a working microphone(ideally cordless), a spot light at a minimum and ideally a slightly raised stage to perform on.
I travel with a portable 8 X 8 glitter curtain and if the room where you are having your show need a little extra something my curtain certainly makes a ordinary room a little more fabulous. A tall stool is also greatly appreciated.
I have been producing shows for twenty years so if your company does not have access to sound and light equipment I can easily bring my own or rent it for you and include it in the quote.
