The Five Do's & Don'ts When Having Entertainment At Your Event

Entertainment can be the highlight of any event, but ensuring it enhances rather than detracts from the experience requires careful consideration. Here are five essential do's and don'ts to keep in mind when planning entertainment for your next event: 

Do's:

  1. Ensure Quality Sound and Lighting: Invest in a reliable PA system and lighting setup to enhance the performance of your entertainers.

Bear with me, let's consider why hiring a comedy magician (you know, that's what I do, right?...) can transform your next corporate event, award ceremony, or charity gala from standard to spectacular.

  • The Magic Touch of Humour 

A stand up comedian friend that I often work with, always invites me to headline any show I'm working on with him. Why? Because even he believes that comedy combined with magic is unbeatable. If you're not a magic fan, but the magician has you belly laughing, then the fact you aren't into magic is forgotten and it's considered a win. Equally, if you don't align with the humour, but love the tricks, that's a win too. If you love both, then that's a total win-win scenario! It's a unique blend that not only...
