Having trouble deciding if you want a musician or dancer for your event? Or maybe you want to hire a magician, but also want someone that can juggle and tell jokes? There are so many decisions to make when planning entertainment for a special event. Good news! You don’t necessarily have to choose. Instead, hire a variety entertainer. These talented individuals have mastered a variety of skill sets and can incorporate any or all of them to put on a one-of-a-kind performance. A variety entertainer is a great way to make sure all your guests have a variety of fun!
Whether you need to book entertainment for a corporate event, fundraiser, birthday party, school assembly, fair or festival, variety entertainers are a great way to go. Decide what all you want for your event and then find the perfect entertainer that can do it all!
There are a few things to remember when hiring a variety entertainer for your special event. First you need to have in mind the type of entertainment you want, then you can look for entertainers that do that. Do you want comedy? Singing? Magic? Does it need to be family friendly or is it going to be an adult crowd? Next, you should ask to view video of their past performances. Also, read reviews and call references. Talk to people that have seen or booked the entertainer in the past. Feedback is a great way to ensure you book the best. Last, always get a contract. Read it carefully and work out any details in regards to deposit requirements, length of performance, scheduled breaks, attire, travel, and lodging. Also, inquire about specifics. Will the variety entertainer need a special type of floor or stage? How much area is needed?
