A guide to booking

Hire MCs, Comperes & Event Hosts in Ohio, United States

An MC keeps an event on time and the room with you: welcoming guests, introducing speakers and acts, making the announcements and covering the gaps when the schedule slips. MCs in Ohio, United States are booked for weddings, corporate conferences, awards evenings, product launches, charity galas and birthday parties, and the brief is different for each, so say which it is before asking for a quote.

Wedding MCs and Corporate Hosts

A wedding MC runs the reception order: the entrance, the speeches, the cake and the first dance, with the couple's timings in hand and the DJ or band cued for each. A corporate host does the same job at a conference or an awards dinner, where the skill is holding a business audience between sessions and keeping a packed agenda to time. Where a formal ceremony needs announcements made to protocol, a toastmaster is the closer fit; where the room needs warming up, a comedian who hosts is.

What MCs Cost

Rates for MCs and comperes in Ohio run from $100 to $1,500+, with most bookings around $450. A two-hour wedding reception costs less than a full conference day, a host who prepares custom material or attends a rehearsal charges for the preparation, and broadcasters and well-known names sit at the top of the range. Travel is usually quoted on top.

Photo of Elijah Edwards #1 Google Comedy Hypnotist Elijah Edwards #1 Google Comedy Hypnotist "We teamed up with Elijah to offer our guests and visitors here at Waubeeka Family Campground something "New" in style to what we normally offer. We were concerned that skepticism might prevent our guests from enjoying this type of show but pleasantly, we found the exact contrary to be the result! Elijah's professionalism and attraction glared obvious immediately upon him taking the stage. He made all in attendance comfortable and thus willing to partake and the results were amazing. The show was fantastic and ALL accounts were favorable to the experience and toward a desire to have him return. Elijah performed multiple shows throughout His weekend with us and each, increasing in attendance because of the first hand recounts of the spectators of the previous shows. We are appreciative of the connection We made with Elijah and without concern, will be going forward including his show into our offered events. Thank you to Elijah and Jack for a great weekend and in advance for the relationship that will continue into the future! - Jim" Based in Perrysburg, Ohio 6th April 2026 Ziggy Rose Photo of Morris Poore Magic Morris Poore Magic "Great show! Morris provided a great magic show and everyone enjoyed the party!" Based in Anderson, Indiana Aj Mil,Ar - Halloween Party Photo of The Circus Arts Society The Circus Arts Society "Jesse and his Circus-In-A-Suitcase workshop were an absolute highlight of our Downtown Cambridge BIA event! Jesse's communication was seamless, making planning a breeze. He captivated the children with his engaging and interactive performance, leaving them smiling and excited. Beyond that, he has an incredible ability to energize the entire crowd, creating a fun and lively atmosphere. Jesse's talent and professionalism made him a wonderful addition to our event, and we can't wait to work with him again! - Jasmine Percival, Admin Coordinator, Downtown Cambridge BIA" Based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada 11th August 2026 Jasmine Percival - The Circus Arts Society Photo of Inspirational Illusionist (MagicJordan) Inspirational Illusionist (MagicJordan) "Jordan, thank you for providing top notch service for our annual corporate BBQ. Our colleagues loved your magic tricks, and you had our colleagues engaged throughout the event. We will reach out for future events, great job!" Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 11th September 2026 Bill Keegan - Mondelez International Photo of Illusionist Ken Margoe Illusionist Ken Margoe "Thank you Ken Margoe for an incredible night of comedy magic. You were an absolute delight to work with and produced a high caliber and interactive show that engaged the audience." Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada 22nd October 2025 Derek Young Photo of Dr. K Dr. K "I've seen Kemin Zhang perform literally dozens of times, in a range of different settings and venues. He's equally at home doing close-up magic, playing music (in a range of styles and forms), or MC-ing a show. He possesses his own very special ability to transcend genres, forms, cultures, and creative roles to reach out and connect with an audience. He effortlessly bridges the worlds of Magic and Music, sometimes combining the two, often with a healthy dose of humor thrown in. He is a magical, musical Jack-of-all-trades, capable of assuming the throne of a King of Comedy, very comfortable playing the role of Joker when appropriate, and who is always a true on-stage Ace in the Hole." Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dan Friedman - Magic Show
