Your people become the story. "...turned my group of friends into a boat full of dramatic suspects..." Karly S., Death on the Nile birthday. Hailey Jones, in a yellow floral top, laughs in front of a sunny home dinner party where guests in costume, a detective, a flapper, a guest in a beaded 1920s dress seen from behind and a crowned king, play their characters.
The club asked for a custom night. Hailey wrote 17 roles for guests and actors, then played the bride herself.

Hosts bring Hailey Jones in as a collaborator on nights that honor their people. She grew up in her dad's comedy clubs, the Loony Bin, on stage from age three. She starts by listening: the guests, their stories, who deserves the spotlight. Then she builds the night with them. "Sometimes it's people then seeing themselves," she says.
Communities partner with her on serious subjects. For a breastfeeding awareness event, she cast three improvisers as pirates after the pirate's booby. After the Nepal earthquakes, she brought relief clowning to villages where buildings had collapsed.
Creative people build their work with her as a guide. She taught clowning in India and calls her year at clown school "the deepest work of self I've ever done." Her goal: "to empower everybody's own voice."
Bel-Air Bay Club · Valentine's Day wedding mystery, Pacific Palisades, February 2026
Feeling. The club wanted Valentine's weekend to feel like a wedding every guest was part of, and it asked Hailey for a custom night its guests could step into.
Stakes. It was a private club, a holiday weekend and 140+ guests. Hailey's company had to write, rehearse and run a full show around real guests, with five actors, a musician and live sound.
Story. Hailey worked out the custom pieces with the club. Guests who wanted a part filled out a survey, and she wrote each of them a character. A 17-role cast card mixed guests and actors, from a Task Rabbit private eye to a wealthy "widow." Hailey cast herself as the bride, clownish first dance included, and every favor read "Found Guilty of Stealing Hearts."
Result. 140+ guests spent the night inside one story, with guests and actors on the same cast list and a Murder Mystery Menu at every plate. Hailey counts it as a career milestone: "The venue was wonderful to work with."
Knights of Columbus Council #10494 · Wild West murder mystery fundraiser, Our Lady of the Desert, Apple Valley, November 2022
Feeling. The council wanted a charity night its members would laugh through and talk about after. Jason, who ran the event, had never hired a show before, and he wanted someone to walk him through it.
Stakes. About 200 people came out to support the fundraiser, a big crowd for one show to reach. It was the council's first hired show and Hailey's first public show for a private client, so it had to land at every table.
Story. Hailey answered his questions by email, text and phone, and stayed flexible when the council had to move the date. She built a Wild West murder mystery with five actors. Her sound tech tapped into the venue's sound system, hooked up cordless microphones and played music, so the whole crowd could hear.
Result. "...walked me through the process... Our audience was engaged and laughing... they are asking when the next show will be." Jason N., Knights of Columbus Council #10494
Britt W.'s team · trade-show booth, Palm Springs, 2026
Feeling. Britt W.'s team wanted their booth to be the one people walked toward, so they could talk with more of the show. They hired Hailey to read tarot for their visitors, right beside the team.
Stakes. Every visitor was a possible lead, and the show ran in oppressive heat. Each reading had to be worth the wait, so the team had time to talk with the people in line.
Story. Hailey read for one visitor after another and stayed professional, friendly and high-energy the entire time. While guests waited their turn, Britt's team stepped in to talk with them. When her shift was done, she stayed extra to make sure guests were taken care of.
Result. "...she also became our biggest draw - we had a consistent line out of our booth... generate a significant number of new leads." Britt W., trade show, Palm Springs
