Hiring a Stand-Up Comedian – Tips, Advice and How to Book

There are many things to consider when hiring a stand-up comedian and that’s why we have put together this guide filled with tips and advice before you book!

What Types of Event are a Stand-Up Comedian Suitable For?

Whether you are planning a big birthday bash or an eventful wedding reception, hiring a stand-up comedian will add an element of fun and laughter. Due to the different styles of comedy available, stand-up comedians are suitable for all kinds of event, including (but not limited to)…

  • Wedding Reception Entertainment
  • Birthday Party Entertainment
  • Corporate Event Entertainment
  • Fundraising Events

Many comedians can provide a routine that is free of swearing or taboo subjects which makes them perfect for family celebrations.

What Does a Stand-Up Comedian Actually Do?

A stand-up comedian will perform a routine of comedy to your guests. This is generally done as a type of “stage show” where the comedian stands in front of their audience with a microphone.

Subjects of humour can vary widely with both clean stand-up comedians and adult style stand-up comedians which work well for an adults only evening.

Many stand-up comedians will also interact with the audience and create on-the-fly comedy with plenty of banter!

How Long Will a Stand-Up Comedian Perform For?

Each stand-up comedian will have their own performance lengths, but many provide an hour or two of entertainment for their routine. If you need a longer performance, always check with your chosen performer before booking.

How Much Will a Stand-Up Comedian Cost?

The costs to hire a stand-up comedian will vary between performers. This can be due to the amount of experience a stand-up comedian has, their location and length of routine. Peak times of the year may also impact prices.

What Should I Ask a Stand-Up Comedian?

Depending on the type of event you are planning, there may be many questions you might want to ask before you book a stand-up comedian. Some useful examples are included below:

  • Are you free to perform on the date of my event?
  • How much do you charge and how much of a deposit is needed to secure my date?
  • How long can you perform for?
  • What topics are included in your routines? (If you need them to avoid any potentially awkward topics, tell them beforehand)
  • Is your routine for adults-only or is it suitable for children?
  • Do you have public liability insurance?
  • Do you need any special equipment for setting up?

How do I Choose a Stand-Up Comedian?

Choosing a stand-up comedian generally comes down to the event you are planning. If you are hosting a family celebration, choose from the huge range of clean stand-up comedians on our website, www.EntertainersWorldwide.com – The easiest way to create a shortlist of potential comedians is to view each of their profiles and read about their previous experience.
