Delight your guests
Add Comedy to the Agenda
A Compere
Hiring a Comedian to compere your event will make the experience extra enjoyable for your guests.
A professional comedian will not only inject comedy throughout the event but also interact with the audience, making your guests feel part of the event.
Adding Stand Up
To add a huge dose of laughter put some Stand Up Comedy on the Agenda. Our clients have used comedy to either start with a bang, yes even at 8am. Re-energise the guests after that lovely lunch or add comedy to an evening event to get everyone in a social mood.
Thanks for organising our event last night, it was a great success and feedback I have had from all, including our CEO, has been fantastic.

What our clients say
How to ensure Comedy is a Success
Get the Timing Right
The time of day you want to add comedy will have an impact on the comedian you chose. After lunch for example a high energy comedian will help through that post lunch nap time. After an evening meal, especially if there is alcohol, a high status comedian would be a good choice.
The more you think about your guests, the better the match with the comedian will be. Would a high energy, high status comedian work or would a lower status, intellectual comedian be a better match?
Setting the Tone
Thinking carefully about the room and how it is set out will make a big difference to how comfortable the audience feel. Comedy can be difficult if there are a lot of distractions. If food is being served or it is noisy. It only takes a couple of people to be speaking and the whole audience can get distracted and disrupt the comedy.
Some people can be a little nervous about comedy, especially if the compere is speaking with the audience. The more relaxed you can make your audience the more likely they are going to have a good laugh. A simple trick of turning the lights down can help your guests relax.
Laughter is contagious and if your audience is spread out too much, you can lose that element. If you are able to, setting up the room so the audience is sitting close together, will make a huge difference.
The Venue
Turn the Lights Down
Spreading the Laughter
We are comedians ourselves (although not yet household names, but we are working on that)! And we hire comedians all the time. Both for our own comedy club nights and for corporate events.
We will never suggest a comedian we haven’t worked with or hired ourselves. And that’s for our peace of mind as well as yours, we would much rather it we got in wrong at our comedy club than your event.
We get to know every comedian, how audiences react to them, how reliable and professional they are to work with. We understand how different types of audiences react to the different styles and subject matter.
And we love comedy, so please give us a call and lets have a laugh …
