Corporate Entertainment Acts For Private Events

By Matthew Roberts


When it comes to performing, there are many venues in which a performer can do so. In some cases, corporate entertainment acts entertain members of a board, company employees, shareholders and authorized visitors in a board, conference room or auditorium. One act currently on the forefront of this type entertainment is that of magic acts by well known magicians.

In most cases, those performing at these locations are not always well known artists. In fact, a number of entertainers offer these services free of charge as a method of advertisement. Whereas, there are others whom work for little pay when performing at clubs and restaurants. Most recently, magicians have become very active in performing at companies and corporations.

In more general terms, acts doing this type of performance are often considered private events. In some cases, entertainers may provide a performance at conferences, conventions, holiday parties or retreats. Whether a comedian, magician, motivational speaker, musician, performance artist or poet, all have something to offer. At the same time, it is important that any performer know and understand the corporate policies and rules with regards to behavior, dress and language.

If looking for an entertainer to perform during the holidays, it is often advised that booking agents and company representatives do so well in advance of the date requested. For, entertainers of all types often book up early during this time of year. As such, to assure obtaining the type of entertainer and performance desired, it is always best to get an early start.

While often booked by representatives from a booking agency or event planning firm, there are some entertainers whom work on a contract or freelance basis. As such, companies can often avoid agency fees when booking these individuals on a direct hire basis. In most cases, individuals working in this manner often request a higher rate though one that is still less than it would be to pay the entertainer along with an agency.

When it comes to hiring different types of entertainment, there are often a great number of choices. When looking to book a keynote speaker, disc jockey or pianist, it should be noted that these individuals are always in high demand. For, many play opening sessions of a number of annual conferences and conventions. When there is a theme associated with an event, entertainers can often design a custom performance based on the theme upon request.

While most often these events hire outside entertainment, there are some in which the employees are asked to participate in a variety of trivia, board and sporting games. When asked to participate in any physical event, it is often advised that employees sign a release form in case of accident or injury. If not, the corporation could be held liable for any medical costs which the employee occurs as a result of the incident.

Ultimately, most corporations pay entertainers a higher fee than other booking agents. Although, it can often be hard for some to abide by the corporate policy, dress code and censorship which often comes with same. As such, while some feel the higher pay is a good trade off, others prefer to keep performances in public clubs and private venues where there are no such rules and regulations.
