Planning an event entertainment can be one of the most daunting tasks ever. It requires a lot of creativity as well as knowledge of what the targeted audience enjoy most. The journey towards finding the most perfect and wonderful event performers should be treaded carefully to avoid little mistakes that may prevent it from being a success. Below are some of the greatest tips for matching to the corporate guests.

Look forward to finding best corporate entertainers

Most people in the corporate entertainment industry know that there is a distinction that should not be crossed in regards to entertainment content. It is therefore important to seek those individuals who have great reviews from other business clients. They should have a great experience in their stage performances.

Always ask for a preview of their entertainment videos

Most corporate entertainers normally have a clip that shows exactly what their performances look like. It is important to watch a preview of this and know the suitability and level of entertainment it will provide. By watching this tape, you can be sure of what to expect from the event entertainment. Through this tape, you can judge the people and know their level of dedication towards their entertainment careers.

Consider the purpose of holding the event

One of the greatest things that you need to keep in mind is that not every corporate entertainer is fit for any event. You need to select the right entertainers who hold the right theme for your function. They should also comprise of a reasonable size. Suppose the event marks a launch of a product, the audience is large and needs a much entertaining factor that suite all ages as compared to training workshop learning.

Seek a variety of performers

Organizing a show that engages various performances is a great way of entertainment. This ensures your guests get various entertainment choices hence keeping them from boredom. This is greatly important especially in breaking monotony of one person performing on stage. A good corporate entertainment requires amalgamation of various performers and letting them entertain the guests suitably.

With the above tips, you can be certain to find the most appropriate event entertainment group. They will also lead you into picking the best and most relevant entertainment group for your guests. In this way you can make them have fun and exciting experience at your event. If you are planning for a corporate entertainment Vancouver or any other function, the above four tips will guide on how to choose the best corporate entertainers.

Art has to be entertaining. If not, it will fail to communicate with its audience in any constructive way and any message that it might carry will be lost. Any song you write about love that doesn’t entertain the ear, will be discarded… and its message of love will be dissolved by the sounds of boredom and indifference of your listener.

The same applies to all forms of art. Directors know that once people start snoring during their movies, they’ve lost the game. Writers, painters… they all know that once you fail to entertain your reader/viewer, any chance you had at communicating your emotions and your beliefs, is evaporated faster than hydrogen on a bright sunny day in the heart of Cairo.

That being said, art being entertaining is one thing… and art being “entertainment” is another.

A good example here is the magician. He is an entertainer and his goal is by definition self-explanatory… to entertain with the use of magic. What he does takes tremendous skills, an abundance in talent and dedication to his work. By being an entertainer, does he care if the members of his audience become more informed and more knowledgeable individuals after his show? No… Actually, the less they know about what they have just seen, the greater the entertainment. Does the entertainer concern himself with the enrichment of his audience’s spiritual state? And by saying “spiritual”, I do not mean the religious interpretation of the term. A person enhances his “spirit” by acquiring information, knowledge, ideas, perceptions and a greater understanding on a subject which he did not possess before becoming exposed to the source of that information. So can a magician enrich his audience’s spirit? Yes… he can. Is it mandatory though because he is an entertainer? No… it’s not.

I believe this is the core difference between an artist and an entertainer. When art is created simply to serve its self and satisfy the tastes of individuals by providing them with a short, joyful experience, without elevating their knowledge-base or introducing a new perspective or understanding on the issue it concerns its self… then the artist seizes to be an artist and transforms into an entertainer. That is the point when art becomes a product, and its core function is no longer to contribute, to expand, to enrich or to elevate its field… but to be consumed. A short-term action which stimulates the brain in a passive way, creating a positive emotional reaction, which as pleasant as it may be, once its influence passes by, leaves you in no greater spiritual state than you were in before. Another product which serves the exact same function is of course, the use of drugs.

There are great examples of entertainers who have managed to entertain successfully throughout their careers, while simultaneously being a tremendous source of knowledge and originality. They provide their audience with new ideas, new perceptions and raise issues which could only benefit our culture, elevating their own work to a creative level which is very difficult to reach. A good example of this is the field of stand-up comedy. When entertainers like George Carlin, or Eddie Izzard got on stage, they didn’t just want for their audience to have a good time. They wanted their audience to have a good time and leave the theater more informed and more knowledgeable. Entertainment wasn’t enough, there had to be a lasting, cultural and spiritual gain for the people to take home. These entertainers, subsequently, become something more than entertainers… they become artists. Another great example is painting. When Picasso introduced cubism, he achieved not only in creating entertaining visual work, but he also succeeded in enriching the art of painting with a new style, new methodology and elevated his own artistic field to a new level. Picasso didn’t just entertain his viewer… he evolved his viewer’s perception and understanding of beauty and composition.

Creating beauty in art is beautiful…

Creating art because you need to see beauty is beautiphol.

In literature and the film industry, the entertainment mechanisms have overshadowed the artistic mechanisms and the market is overloaded with works of either very slim spiritual contribution, or very often not any at all. I have recently read a book in the Sci-Fi genre which had an interesting plot (I do not enjoy hammering down other authors or their work, so I will not mention the title) and I was astonished by how little difference it made to my “spirit” once I finished reading it. It literally gave me nothing that I could possibly keep. There was a formula there; With a fixed plot, fixed characters, a fixed environment for the plot and the characters to work in, and their aim was simple… to provide a fix. Did I enjoy it? Yes, it was an entertaining book, extremely well written and the plot kept me interested. But it failed to find a good balance between art and entertainment, leaning entirely towards the latter, I suppose due to marketing reasons. It had nothing to offer to its reader other than an instant positive emotional satisfaction which is doomed to fade away and leave back nothing unchanged. Do I consider it as a work of art? I do not. And allow me to explain why…

The product and desired result of sexual activity is of course the orgasm. You can get an orgasm by making love to your partner or by masturbating. The difference is that by making love, you can gain more than just an orgasm. While with masturbation, you only get an orgasm. If the action of writing a book which only strives to provide me with an “orgasm” is considered “art,” then what do you call the act of masturbating in order to get an orgasm?…

“… making love?”

The following quote by Ernst Fischer summarises and expresses my own personal artistic motivations perfectly. And since I am nowhere near Fischer’s level or articulation and writing skills, I have nothing to add.

“In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable… and help to change it.” -Ernst Fischer

Creativity for events entertainment is becoming an essential necessity to the outcome of any event. Clients are looking for that talking point of the night and are requesting for something “different”. Event Managers are being stretched when it comes to creating imaginative entertainment ideas to find something brand new for their client.

Here are a list of some tips and ideas as to how you can bring something new to the table when it comes to live events entertainment and performances:

1. Know your clients and guests requirements. What are they looking to gain or achieve from the event? The better understanding you have of the brief the easier for the performer to recommend and provide the right performance for the event.

2. Use specialists within the entertainment industry like an entertainment company or a choreographer. If your event is heavily live event entertainment based you might want an entertainment specialist to help you pitch. They will know the act inside and out, so will be able to answer any questions from your client, which will help you win the pitch.

3. Build a relationship with the entertainment company. The events industry constantly use the word “supplier”, which I think is very cold. I see it as a partnership. The entertainment company should be the first people you go to for entertainment advice when you receive an enquiry. Ask them to brainstorm with you or to help you with entertainment solutions and ideas. It saves you time and will provide you with a great outcome. Keep them on speed dial!

4. If you can’t find the right events entertainment, produce it! There are so many creative’s within the events industry who will be able to produce a brand new act or performance. If your client wants something new or different, this is your answer. You will make your client very happy by saying you can 100% guarantee that none of your clients would have seen the entertainment you will be able to provide.

5. Always speak to your production team and make sure they are in contact with the live events entertainment you are providing. So many times you turn up on the day of the event and the lighting is of poor quality or the PA system is at the other end of the room so you can’t hear the music during the performance. Communication is key between the entertainment company and the production company. A 10-minute phone call can dissolve many potential problems you would find on the day. Lighting, sound and production must compliment the entertainment to ensure a high quality performance and to get your moneys worth.

6. Make sure you are thorough when reading the entertainment’s requirements. If you’re hiring a performer with detailed technical specifications such as aerial artists make sure the production team has it at the earliest convenience. You don’t want to book a fantastic aerial performer, but realise you can’t put rigging up due to health and safety.

7. Don’t let the act perform for longer than is needed. I think the most important rule when providing entertainment is leave the guests wanting more. Make an impact! This sounds like a simple rule, but this happens more often then not. This goes back to knowing what the intention and brief of the event.

8. Listen to the performer and entertainment company they will know what will work best for your event when it comes to performances and timings. They want to provide the very best entertainment and performance to ensure your event is perfect. Listen to their advice!

Hiring the best corporate entertainer is no doubt going to be a priority for your corporate event. You want an entertainer who is professional, suits the occasion, and frankly, does a good job of entertaining the audience. Here are some tips to help you select the best corporate event entertainment for your next event:

Consider the Audience and Occasion

First and foremost – to choose a great entertainer, you need to think about your audience and the type of entertainment the majority will enjoy. Popular types of corporate entertainment include comedy, music, and magic acts. Comedic entertainers are great for getting your group laughing and enjoying themselves. Some corporate entertainers do stand-up comedy, while others add magic, games, or other performances to their comedic acts. The best entertainers offer variety and are able to enrapture audiences across the board.

Plan a Realistic Budget

If you want the best, then you are going to have to pay for it. You cannot expect to get the top rated professional corporate entertainer for a small fee. Depending on the person’s or group’s reputation and experience, as well as the show size, the fees can range anywhere between $1500 and $100,000.

Experience Performing at Corporate Events

It is important to make sure that the performer you hire specializes in providing corporate entertainment. They need to be familiar with the corporate environment, including corporate event expectations and requirements. That is why knowing their experience will help you judge whether they are the best candidate. Feel free to ask them questions. Find out if they word as an entertainer full-time or is this something they do on the side. Ask if they have performed at similar events.

Reviews

Do not forget to ask the artist if they have reviews from clients they have performed for in the past. Seeing what people have to say about a performer is a great indication of how good they are. Many entertainers have their own websites that contain a lot of their promotional material, so that will be a good starting point. Reviews entertainers provide are always going to be positive, so you need to discern whether the entertainer is just good or fantastic. Remember, you want the best entertainment for your event. You should always ask for references too.

Demo Video

The best way to judge a corporate entertainer and see whether they are a good choice for your event is to view a demo video. The video should show short segments of the entertainer’s show with a live audience, which will allow you see how the artist performs as well as the reaction of a real audience.

Plan Ahead

Last but not least, you need to plan early when hiring a corporate entertainer. The best corporate performers get booked up quickly during certain times of the year. Booking can even start the year in advance. It is a good idea to start looking for an entertainer as early as you can, from the time you know the date of your event so you can avoid disappointment.

When it comes to finding the best corporate event entertainment, the key thing to take into consideration is your audience and type of event. Once you have an idea of the kind of entertainment that is going to work well at your event, it will make it easier to find the right artist.

Entertainers

There are many children’s entertainers in Leeds and the surrounding areas, you just need to do a quick Google search for “Children’s Entertainers Leeds” and you’ll have more than enough to choose from. There are clowns, magicians, fairies and pirate themed event organisers that specialise in entertaining for kids parties.

Just a couple of the best in the North West (and East):

JingJangJooJong – The crazy couple who create a magical alien world to entertain with.

Make a Wish Entertainment – Specialising in fairy-tales for children

So if you’re struggling to think of something to do, just hire an entertainer, most of them are members of Equity so they are quality performers. Make sure they have public liability insurance however so that any little injuries from the activities are fully covered and you have nothing to worry about. You may also wish to check for CRB clearance which many of them advertise having.

Equipment

Is it a dance, a do, a ball, a shower? Whether a birthday party, surprise party, or a calm British tea party, there’s some equipment you should make sure you have!

The things below aren’t always needed, but they usually are, and are always good to have in-case that 1 guest requests them:

• Plastic cups (because if it goes outside, it’s best not to have glass)
• Plastic cutlery (for the same reason as above, but also because you can throw them away and don’t have to wash them up!)
• Paper towels (because someone will spill something… somewhere.)
• Plasters (even plastic cutlery can cut!)
• Bottles of water (for exhausted kids, and intoxicated adults!)

They are the basics, and obviously if you’re catering for a certain type of party you’ll need your niche products, kids parties normally always have balloons, don’t forget the helium, or even easier just buy pre-filled balloons, that way you don’t have to blow them up, it can take a lot out of you. For themed parties the entertainers sometimes provide costumers for the kids or something to help them feel more involved, however it will be worth checking with them before-hand and if not maybe rent outfits or just one token piece (pirate hat/eye-patch) to give to the kids it really enhances the atmosphere. You can usually haggle with outfit stores as they don’t really have set prices, so go in hard and say that you’ve got a party for 20 kids and need 20 outfits can you have them for £10 each! You may just get lucky.

Things to look out for!

Equity, Public Liability, CRB Check

There are some things that set some entertainers apart from the others. They don’t necessarily mean they’ll be better, but they do mean that the person has taken the extra steps of professionalism in entertainment, insurance, and safety.

Logos to look for on websites:

1. Equity membership logo: Being a member of Equity, the professional performers and creative practitioner’s institute, usually guarantees that the entertainer has been classically trained, or at least displayed a high level of performance ability and professionalism. Again this doesn’t absolutely mean that they’ll be better than someone whom isn’t a member, however it’s always a nice reassurance, as there’s nothing worse than having an entertainer turn up who’s not… entertaining, especially when there’s a tough crowd, amateurism really shines through and can make the situation very awkward.

2. Public liability insurance: This is probably the most important if you have more than a few children being entertained. There are so many little things that could go wrong, from a tip over a speaker cable, swallowing a popped balloon, damaging the entertainers or the clients equipment. But if someone has liability insurance at least you know that any injuries to your loved ones are fully covered, and it stops the “who’s fault was it” debate and saves people a lot of money.

3. CRB Checked: This is the least important of the three, but it does show that they have gone another extra step to prove that they’re suitable to work with children and in sensitive situations. It doesn’t really reflect the entertainment value, and there’s generally no risk to children at parties when the adults are still there supervising, however it is another nice reassurance if they do have it.

Thanks for reading my article, I really hope you manage to organise a brilliant party. Pick a theme, choose an entertainer, and buy needed equipment and you should be sorted.
