Five things to consider before hiring a comedian

“A day without laughter is a day wasted” this line is said by one of the greatest comedian, Charlie Chaplin.

Hiring a comedian for the first time? Having a problem in finding the perfect comedian for your event? There can be several things that will make you think twice before finalizing a comedian. If you are hiring a comedian for the very first time for your event then you should be very careful and opt what will justify your needs. Like every other artist comedians too have different genres of comedy. These genres can be stand-up comedy, improv comedy, sketch comedy, alternative comedy and many more. The comedians use various ways to perform their planned sets. They can use one-liners, punch lines, storytelling, etc. when you are done with finalizing what kind of comedy you need in your event, then you move forward to the finalization of the comedian you will hire.

Here is a list of five things that you must consider before hiring a comedian for your event;

Ø  The audience is the master: Always choose the comedian according to your audience. E.g., if your audience does not prefer listening to adult humor then you should choose a comedian that will perform clean comedy. Because if you choose a comedian that performs adult humor the audience will get offended and your event will be a flop.

Ø  Experience matters: if you are organizing an event on a very large scale and investing your time and money. Also, your image and the reputation of the firm is at stake because it is you who has organized the event. Thus, you need to be careful while choosing the comedian of your event. Always go for a comedian who has prior experience in comedy and in performing in front of a large audience.

Ø  Search the web: before finalizing the comedian always search the web. Look for official websites, testimonials, watch their videos of previous performances. These will help you to know the comedian and their talent in a better way. 

Ø  Be rigid with your needs: As I said you should always choose the comedian based on what your audience wants. If you are thinking to hire a comedian who is famous nation-wide but does not fulfill your content needs, he/she will not help you in making the event a success because the audience will not be satisfied. The success of the event depends upon the audience’s response and feedback. If your audience will not connect with the comedian because they do not like the content he/she is performing they might not like the event too.

Ø  Get professional help: if you are facing problems in choosing the comedian by yourself then you can always get professional help.
