I Know How to Hire a Comedian
One of the first things I learned as an event planner and coordinator was how to hire a comedian. You’d be surprised at how often this comes up. Most of the events I organize need some type of entertainment, and comedy is always a good bet. However, because each event is different, I have to be very careful about which comedians I hire. The biggest mistake I could make would be to hire an R-rated comedian for a family-oriented party. Can you imagine how upset people would be if the standup comic began swearing and talking about adult topics in front of children or elderly grandparents? Luckily, there are so many different kinds of comedians that I can always find someone appropriate, no matter what the occasion. I keep a notebook of all the people I’ve hired in the past, and I will often book them for another event if they did well the first time. This saves me a lot of effort in looking for new comedians for every event.
