Need entertainment for your Christmas party?
Planning entertainment for a Christmas party is stressful. The boss must be pleased. Your decisions are judged by everyone else. The corporate entertainment must be:
- within the budget
- reliable
- represent the company in a positive light
- appeal to the employees and …
- be a hit!
Did you guess? I suggest a ventriloquist!
Here is why …
Start with your guests.
Do you have a wide mixture of ages?
Believe it or not, ventriloquists appeal to a wide age range.
People don't realize ventriloquism touched most of our lives. Remember Shari Lewis & Lambchop? Shari was a staple of children's programming and popular with generations of kids.
Seniors will likely remember Edgar Bergen, Paul Winchell, Jimmy Nelson or Senor Wences. If you grew up in the 70's and 80's you might remember Jay Johnson of the groundbreaking TV sitcom SOAP.
Many watched and voted for Terry Fator & Paul Zerdin. They are the ventriloquists that won America's Got Talent.
And of course, Jeff Dunham and his suitcase posse: Walter, Peanut & Achmed the Dead Terrorist sell out arenas around the globe.
Is your audience diverse?
Tom creates personalized blue collar comedy and clever cerebral concepts. These two types of humor combine in a comedy show where the laughs come fast and furious. It is comedy that appeals to workers and management.
Tom represents your company!
It is a Christmas party. Everyone should have fun, relax and enjoy some laughs. You get peace of mind when you hire a professional corporate entertainer. You don't have to worry about jokes in bad taste, off-color or offensive to your audience.
Enjoy a no pressure event consultation before you book. When you schedule Tom's act, you talk with him. We want to make sure you have the right entertainment for your company Christmas party.
You provide the information Tom incorporates into the program. A questionnaire makes the entire process easy. Over 30 years of experience is behind each step and we help every step of the way!
Let's talk reliability …
Hear about the party entertainer who didn't show up? It happens way too often. That scenario creates undue stress on the party planner.
When you hire a Christmas party entertainer, a lot can go wrong.
- Flights get delayed or canceled.
- Luggage gets lost.
- Equipment gets damaged.
- Weather plays havoc.
You've got enough to worry about. You don't need headaches from your entertainment.
Tom flies in 24 hours in advance of your event. This provides an extra cushion for delayed flights or other travel related problems. His act stays with him. You won't need to worry about lost equipment.
From flight confirmations to his phone call the moment he lands – you are in the loop. You will know he is there!
The day of the event, Tom arrives early to set and sound check. You can relax. He is there and ready to go as your event unfolds. Running ahead of schedule? No problem. Running late? Not an issue. Tom is there for you!
What about your entertainment budget?
“How much do you charge?” – This is the first question most Christmas party planners ask. When you pull into a service station do you ask the mechanic how much he will charge to fix your car before he looks at it?
Every event has different needs. Every planner has a different vision of their event. Conversations needs to take place. The entertainer must consider everything involved with making your Christmas party memorable.
Can the entertainer fill your needs? What other logistics must they consider? Is the travel time available? What is happening around the date? Where will they come from? Where are they headed following the event? How will they get to your location? What is involved? How much will it cost?
Talk with your entertainment options early in the Christmas party planning process. Allow them time to assemble a proposal that covers all the details. You don't want to be surprised by additional expenses.
One good thing about comedy – it won't break the bank for technical requirements. Tom's rider is concise and easy to read. It even includes tips to set up the room so you get the most out of your entertainment investment.
Peace of mind, professionalism & dedication to your Christmas party's success is valuable. Thirty plus years of experience with raving reviews provides you with confidence in the quality of your choice.
Comedy Entertainment for Christmas Party Fun!
