How to book and hire a Comedian


Booking a comedian is a highly personal thing. We all have a sense of humour, but what makes us laugh varies from person to person and group to group. Warble Entertainment has a wide variety of comedians available to cater for all budgets and genres... including, household named TV personalities, ‘clean’ comedians, ‘old-school’ stand-up comedians, contemporary circuit acts, after-dinner entertainers and even a ‘bit of blue for the Dad’s’.

So, whatever your event and whether you know which act you want (please remember, Warble Entertainment is able to source ANY comedian) or not, call one of our expert Entertainment Agents for no-obligation help and advice.

Anyway, booking a comedian... as with all artists, comedians like to be seen and heard - they want to hold your undivided attention. However, this is particularly important for a comedian as in essence they are naked on stage – i.e. they have no band, backing tracks or dancers... it’s just them, and the effectiveness of their show depends upon you watching and hearing it. In essence, when booking a comedian you should treat the event more like a stage show rather than a booking for a DJ or Band.

It is important to realise that setting the right atmosphere will enhance everything the comedian says and does. In order to do this, the first thing required will be a self-contained or enclosed space where there will be no outside distractions, such as those created by a party in the next room or random members of the public ‘popping’ in and out. Also, within the enclosed space try to make sure that if there are possible distractions, such as televisions, juke boxes, fruit machines, etc. they are turned off.

Hire a ComedianOne obvious method of making sure the comedian is seen and heard effectively is by ensuring that there is a raised ‘stage’ area and the quality and size of the PA is adequate for the room. Lighting the stage is also a great idea for creating the right ambience.

Finally, make sure that there is a good line of vision towards the stage and that most, if not all, of the audience will be able to see it. This may be helped if seating is provided for members of the audience.
 

Things to remember when booking a Comedian

  • Set the right atmosphere- by providing a well-lit staged area, your audience will realise that this is a show meant to be watched and heard and not something purely for background entertainment.
  • Your comedian should perform from a self-contained, enclosed area where distractions will be kept to an absolute minimum.
  • Make sure that when booking a comedian the PA you provide is of good quality and adequate size to cater for the size of the room and a sold-out/ capacity performance.
  • Ensure that there is a good line of vision towards the stage- this can easily be accomplished by providing the audience with seats.
  • Warble Entertainment represents only the most professional and outstanding Wedding Comedians, Corporate Comedians and Party Comedians. So, you can rest assured that when booking a comedian with Warble your event will be one to remember
