We make funny things.
HQ Universe
Headquarters Comedy is an industrial manufacturer of humor, based in New York City. Some of our projects include:
Panic News Network
Breaking news, breaking constantly. We get you the news so fast, we're not sure if it's accurate. All of our headlines are satirical, but somehow it feels like you learn more from reading our news than the real news. Fake news, real insight.
The Gary Luna Show
An experimental, animated late night talk show featuring cameos from celebrity guests, discussing culture and current events.
In Competence We Trust
Join our mailing list and receive our weekly newsletter, In Competence We Trust, about humor, persuasion, public speaking, and the apocalypse.

Shows for Teams
Corporate shows suck. We've re-designed them for startups. Perfect for teams up to 100, with good culture. Our shows leave your team more tightly knit and help blow off steam so you can get back to your 9-9-6.
Shows for Brands
Sponsor one of our public shows and get your brand in front of a smart, engaged audience that actually shows up to things. Tasteful, effective, not embarrassing. We capture valuable content of people engaging with your brand in real life.
Private Shows
Birthday? Launch event? Fundraiser? Anniversary? Whatever you need, we can put it together. We'll source the venue, book the talent, capture content, and leave your audience laughing. We can roast, keep it clean, or do anything in between.
How it works.
