  • Corporate Entertainment
  • Gala Dinner Entertainment
  • Cocktail Party Entertainment

Where do I find Comperes on your Website?

Finding a Compere is easy when you use our website as we have our very own dedicated category for this type of entertainment.  There are two ways to find a Compere: Firstly, you can use the navigation which is at the top of every single page on our website.  Simply click on “General Entertainers” and look for “Miscellaneous Entertainers”.  Under this main category you will find “Comperes” so all you need to do is click on the link and you’ll be taken directly to our Comperes category page.

The second way to find a Compere is to use our sophisticated search function.  This is also situated on every page so all you need to do is start typing “Compere” into the “I’m Looking For” search field.  You can also narrow the search down by adding a location, however since Comperes are quite an unusual type of entertainment, it would be useful to do a blanket search without narrowing down location.  Then all you need to do is click on the “Search” button and your matching listings will be displayed straight away.  If you want to get straight to the point and start your search, why not click here to access our Comperes category directly!

What do Comperes Actually Do?

A Compere is a professional speaker who specialises in making announcements and is less formal than hiring a toastmaster.  A Compere usually offers plenty of humour and wit which can make for a very entertaining evening.  From wedding announcements, such as organising the guests and announcing the first dance, to a comedy night where each act is announced on stage, hiring a Compere is a professional way of taking care of any public speaking.

How long will a Compere perform for?

Since a Compere is hired to make announcements at your event, they can usually tailor their performance lengths to your own event which makes them very flexible.  We highly recommend contacting your chosen Compere for free using our website in order to get an accurate performance time.

How much does a Compere cost?

It is very difficult for us to accurately quote the price of hiring a Compere, so again we recommend contacting your chosen act using our website for a completely free no-obligation quote.

What Should I Ask a Compere?

Since hiring a Compere is quite an unique type of entertainment to book, there may be many questions you want to ask them to find out all about what they have to offer before parting with your cash and booking.  We have put together a guide of questions to refer to, however please note this is just a few examples so if there is anything else you want to know, never be afraid to ask!

  • Are you available to perform on the date of my event?
  • Do you have Public Liability Insurance?
  • Can I pre-write my announcements?
  • Do you have previous experience in similar events?
  • How child-friendly is your humour?
  • Can you provide previous client testimonials?
  • How long will you be able to perform for?
  • How much do you charge for your services?
  • What percentage deposit is needed to secure my date?
