Hire Best Comedian For Your Event

Tips To Hire Best Comedian For Your Event

Got a corporate event coming up? Everyone is going to sit around and listen to how great your company is? But you need to liven up the event. How do you hire? What are your sources? The bigger question is how do you know which is the best one?  It’s just like they say “ With great power, comes great responsibility.” So be ready to loosen up your pockets if you want to book comedian for wedding.

The Comedian Who Can Make Laugh The Audience. 

If they are not making you laugh, then they certainly wouldn’t make the majority of the people in the audience laugh. You know they are a good comedian if they have your attention from the moment they step on that podium.

1. They have written material that is related to the event or the organization and the members can relate to it

2. Which means they have worked on their set and made the effort.

3. They are prepared to provide misdirection and comic relief if something goes wrong in your event.

Beware Of The "Booker"

You will find a lot of companies who claim they will provide you comedian in delhi or any other city for you. This is where you should tread carefully. They will claim that they are taking 10% of the fees of the comedian. But I am telling it once when you hire a good comedian they are taking HALF  of the money. Yup, it's HALF. Which is why it's much better you get in contact with the comedian directly. 

Watch A Video/Event Of Them

Look out for their events. If they are online, then look out for them. If you ask a comedian for their video and they refuse then your answer should be a big NO too. Also, in this case, remember a comedian performing in a club or a restaurant would have a completely different set in a corporate event.

What Are They Presenting?

Are they cracking a sleazy, sexist joke? If you are being upfront with the performer beforehand, it’s a bonus for you. The comedian also knows that you are cooperative and your work is being acknowledged by genuine organizers. Is the comedian clear about who is going to be the audience? Whether it’s a kids organization or a legislator organization. The comedian should know their audience. I certainly would not have a comedian who is going to joke about politics if the chief guest is a member of parliament. Also, make sure who is performing. Is it a woman or a man or neither because let me tell you that jokes performed by a man are taken a different context by the audience and by a woman in a different one.

How Much Time They Will Take?

What's your agenda? What's your event about? How will the comedian be able to finish his set? The solution is to FIX A TIME. No, really. If it’s an event, not more than 120 minutes then you need to make sure your hired talent doesn’t perform more than 20 minutes. If you are planning on an after-dinner show as you want everyone to take a breather, then 45 minutes is an ample amount of time for the comedian.

More Men Or Women?

Check your demographics. Are there more men or women? What if there are kids and your comedian brings an inside the bedroom joke in his set. You need to know who is coming for your event. It should be at the top of your checklist. What beliefs do they follow? Are they leaning towards left or more towards the right? But if you have already talked about not having any politics joke, there shouldn’t be a problem. Understanding your audience is very integral for hiring a comedian for your corporate event/private event. 

How Much Can I Pay?

After figuring out all the points above before hiring a comedian, the next and the most important step is figuring out how much is your budget. If you are hiring a good comedian, you need to know how much money does the comedian charge. Talk to their manager or if they are available to talk directly that’s even better. Usually, people hear of the rumor that a good comedian is available only above 1,000,00/-. But that is not true as you can also hire a good comedian between 60,000-70,000.

Get your contract signed or a verbal agreement and voila! You have entertainment for you at your event. Comedians make your stress go away and always remember it's pretty difficult to get someone to laugh. If this comedian has laughs all around, your event is a success.
