The right entertainer gives your guests something to engage with beyond the usual event format. Whether it is a close-up magician working the room during a drinks reception, a comedian headlining an after-dinner slot, or a fire performer creating a visual spectacle outdoors, entertainment adds a layer that guests remember. With 2,025 performers listed across dozens of specialist categories, this page brings them all together in one place.
Magicians are consistently among the most popular entertainers for weddings, corporate events and private parties. Strolling magicians move between tables or groups during receptions, keeping guests engaged during downtime. For children's events, children's magicians tailor their routines to younger audiences with interactive, age-appropriate tricks. Comedy magicians combine sleight of hand with humour, making them a strong choice for after-dinner entertainment. If you want something more psychological, mind readers and hypnotists offer a different kind of performance that tends to generate plenty of conversation. Illusionists work best with a stage and are suited to larger events where a set-piece show is the focal point.
Comedians and stand-up comedians are a natural fit for corporate dinners, milestone birthdays and awards ceremonies. Most will tailor their material to your audience and can adjust the tone from clean and family-friendly to more adult comedy. After-dinner speakers bring stories and anecdotes suited to formal events, while motivational speakers work well at conferences and team away days. For events that need someone to hold the room together, MCs, comperes and hosts keep proceedings running smoothly and maintain energy between other acts. Toastmasters fulfil a similar role at weddings and formal dinners, managing the schedule and announcements.
Dance acts bring movement and visual energy. Dancers cover a broad range of styles, from contemporary and theatrical to cultural performances. Belly dancers, flamenco dancers, Bollywood dancers and salsa dancers each bring a distinct cultural flavour that suits themed events and celebrations. For high-impact visuals, fire performers and LED performers are popular choices for evening receptions, festivals and outdoor events. Circus entertainers, acrobats and jugglers add a spectacle element that works well at family events, festivals and larger parties.
Children's entertainers specialise in keeping younger guests engaged with age-appropriate shows and activities. Face painters and balloon twisters are ideal as roaming entertainment at birthday parties and family days, while puppet shows and clowns provide structured performances. Princess characters are a popular addition to themed birthday parties. For something that appeals to both children and adults, caricaturists draw quick portraits that double as a take-home keepsake.
Some of the most talked-about event entertainment falls outside the standard categories. Celebrity impersonators create a talking point from the moment they arrive, while drag queens bring high-energy hosting, lip-sync performances and audience interaction. Psychic entertainers and tarot readers offer one-on-one experiences that work well as roaming entertainment at parties and corporate events. Variety entertainers, street entertainers and singing waiters each provide a different kind of surprise element.
What you pay depends on the type of act, the length of the performance and whether any special equipment or staging is needed. Solo performers such as close-up magicians, fac

"We had the pleasure of working with Macshane, who performed at one of our young adult events in Perth. Macshane exceeded our expectations in delivering an engaging performance that was both entertaining and inspiring. His vibrant energy and quick wit made the event fun and engaging for everyone.

Doug Jones Magic
"An Absolute Showstopper, with a Heart of Gold!
We had the pleasure of hiring Doug Jones for our wedding reception, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the performance! From the moment he arrived, it was clear that he is incredibly skilled magician, but he also genuinely cared about making our day special. His passion for magic truly shines through in everything he does, and it was so heartwarming to see how much he enjoyed bringing smiles to our guests.
Doug seamlessly blended into the event, mingling with our guests and performing close-up magic that was nothing short of mesmerizing. Whether it was card tricks or sleight of hand every act was polished and left everyone wondering, "How did he do that?!"
What stood out even more was the personal connection Doug created with everyone. He took the time to engage with our guests, making each person feel like a part of the magic. His warmth, friendliness, and love for their craft made the performance feel not just like a show, but an experience that brought everyone together.
If you're looking for someone to elevate your event with incredible entertainment and a true love for what he does, I highly recommend Doug Jones. It was an honor to have him be part of our special day, and we couldn't be more grateful for the unforgettable memories he helped create!
Thank you Doug"

Gypsy Fortune teller / Zaza Green Woman
"I absolutely loved the tarot reading with Zaza. It was my first one so I did not know really what to expect but it blew me away. Zaza's loving and gentle way of guiding me through whatever it was that came up made me feel very safe, and so seen at the same time. Zaza, you are such a beautiful soul and I am so very happy that I found you in guiding me, cause this will not be the last reading I have done with you. Thank you for everything!"
