FAQ about hiring a Comedian

How much does it cost to hire a comedian?

expand

On average, professional comedians cost $300-$500 for a 1-hour set. This price may vary depending on your location, the size of the event, the style of comedy, and the comedian’s skill level.

How long do comedians usually perform?

expand

Comedians are commonly booked for 1-hour performances. Most comedians have enough material to fill a 45-60 minute set. That’s also about how long guests expect to sit and listen to a comedy show. The exact performance time may vary depending on your needs. If you hire a comedian to act as a host or emcee, they might do smaller sets of jokes in between awards or other activities over the course of the full event.

What types of comedy do comedians perform?

expand

Every comedian generally has their own unique style. They might focus on stand-up comedy, corporate comedy, or improv. They will also have certain tones to their humor, whether it be clean, adult-only, or dark in nature. Consider the famous comedians you enjoy most when determining what type of comedy act you want for your event. Then watch videos of their past performances to see if you like their jokes and delivery.

What equipment do I need to provide for a comedian?

expand

Most comedians just need a stage and a microphone. Your comedian may be able to bring their own sound equipment, but it’s best if the venue provides it. You should also ask the comedian if there are any other needs for their set, like a stool to sit on or a table for props. Most comedians like to have a drink on hand as well, so be sure to offer them water or a drink from the bar.

How far do comedians travel?

expand

Many comedians are willing to travel as long as they are compensated accordingly. Because they require very little equipment, it’s easy for them to hop on a plane and fly to events across the country. You can offer to book their travel for them or let them build those additional costs into their quote.

What kind of events should I hire a comedian for?

expand

Comedy shows are great for almost any event. It’s best if you plan to have a decent-sized guest list as comedians feed off audience laughter and interaction, which will make the show better. Your comedian can be the featured entertainment, or they can act as host or emcee, peppering in jokes while also keeping your event on track. Comedians are a popular choice for corporate events, college campus events, holiday parties, and more.
