1. Do your homework

Consider the type of performance or entertainment options your event requires.

Hopefully that is how you ended up here! People are thrilled when they get to be part of something that is new and different. That’s why the balloon stunt has done so well.

Here are some links to my personal favorite entertainers that I have performed with, mentored me with my growth as an entertainer and have gotten to know over the years.

Why would I suggest others entertainment other than my own?

Booking the exact same entertainment year after year can be boring for your audience. I have had the pleasure of working with many other like minded people who share my passion of entertaining and making people laugh. At the very least I can provide you with who I think would be a great addition to your event if you feel I am not what you are looking for.

2. Check Refereces

Would you hire a criminal to look after your newborn? The same goes for booking entertainment that you know nothing about! References are a part of the entertainment business. It’s an easy way to narrow your search. Ask performers for recent references and see if you can call the individual or the contact identified at the company to inquire about their experience of that performer. Read the comments from other planners and event organizers who have faced exactly the same decisions you are facing.

3. Big Budget small Budget?

Not every event has the same budget. You do however get what you pay for. Most professional entertainers are professional for the very reason they have spent years honing there craft and doing what most people would rather die at the stake for! Weekend warriors trying to make a quick buck may or may not fit your desired results. The right entertainer can make your event into the success you have been working hard towards and has a much better shot at putting the audience in the frame of mind that gets remembered, enjoyed and complimented.

4. Ask yourself these Questions while reviewing their website

Websites are digital informational brochures that most entertainers have to highlight their services. They should include recent letters of references, photos and descriptions of their performance, a video of their material and contact information. Ask yourself

5. Sign a Contract

North Americas next top comedian Rarely, if ever, would it be a good idea to make an agreement with an entertainer without signing a contract. No matter how clear things may seem in a conversation with respect to the details of an event, it's imperative that your understanding be represented in writing. Questions to confirm before signing a contract:
  • Will you provide your own transportation?
  • What are your production requirements?
  • What do you need me to provide at the production level?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
  • Do you require a deposit?
  • Do you require a change room?
  • Do you have liability insurance?

6. Coordinate Production Requirements

Things you can ask the entertainer to make the process go more smoothly:
  • Do you need a power supply and how much power do you need?
  • How much space do you need?
  • Is a stage or riser required?
  • Do you require any special lighting?
  • What are your sound production needs?

7. Support the Presentation

Once you’ve made it this far in programming your own entertainment there is only one thing left to do — enjoy it. Try and handle all the previously outlined details well in advance of the function. If you do, chances are things will run smoothly. The last thing you want to do is be in a panic on site or have your entertainer in a panic, because supporting elements have not been properly supplied. Don’t spook or rattle the entertainers by expressing your fears, hesitations, misgivings and anxieties. Let them know that you are very glad they are performing, that you trust their ability to deliver their product and that you support them as a professional. This will help the entertainer or group to shine at their best
