Photo of Naz Magic . com Naz Magic . com "Loved Nazs stage show! My favorite part was watching him bring people up on stage. He made them feel right at home, and their reactions had the whole room laughing. Im still trying to figure out how he pulled it all off. Id happily see him again!" Based in Culver City, California (302 miles from San Jose) 11th November 2026 Lou - Party Photo of a#1bestevents a#1bestevents "So much energy and charm! Gig Salad hired Eddy to perform during the registration and greeting portion of a conference we sponsored, and he brought exactly the unique twist we were looking for! He danced, welcomed attendees, and instantly elevated the atmosphere. On top of that, he made the booking and planning process seamless and stress-free. Thank you, Eddy, for kicking things off with so much energy and charm.

Whether addressing a crowd, hosting an event, or performing on stage, she brings a level of confidence and adaptability that immediately puts both audiences and organizers at ease. She is quick-thinking under pressure, highly engaging without overpowering the room, and exceptionally skilled at reading audience energy in real time. Her background in live performance is evident in the way she handles transitions, timing, improvisation, and crowd engagement with natural ease. Beyond technical performance ability, Kat brings intelligence, wit, and strong communication skills that elevate the overall experience. She has a polished on-camera and live-event presence while remaining approachable, composed, and collaborative behind the scenes. A true professional with strong instincts, presence, and versatility."

Frequently asked questions

The average price for outdoor entertainment on Gig Heaven is $330, with rates from $100 to $1,000+. Cost varies based on the type of entertainment, the number of performers and the duration of the booking. Outdoor entertainment covers a broad range of acts including stilt walkers, living statues, roaming performers and interactive games.

The outdoor acts include a wide range of acts suited to outdoor settings, such as stilt walkers, living statues, fire performers, roaming musicians, circus acts, carnival entertainers, face painters, balloon artists and mobile DJs with outdoor-ready equipment. Many are experienced at adapting to weather conditions and performing on uneven or unpredictable surfaces.

Typical bookings for outdoor entertainment include garden parties, festivals, fairs, corporate summer events, outdoor weddings, sporting events, product launches and community celebrations. Outdoor acts add atmosphere and energy to open-air spaces where indoor entertainment may not be practical.

Most outdoor acts are experienced at performing outdoors but may need shelter in the event of heavy rain, high winds or extreme temperatures. Some acts have specific weather-related safety requirements. It is advisable to discuss contingency plans with the performers and to have a backup indoor option where possible.

Most outdoor acts bring their own props, instruments and equipment. For acts requiring sound systems, a portable power supply or generator may be needed in locations without mains electricity. For the best experience, confirm all power and technical requirements with the performers.
