Variety Entertainers for Hire in Clonakilty

Q: How much do variety entertainers cost in Clonakilty?

Pricing for variety entertainers ranges from €95 to €1,700+, with an average of €360. Rates depend on the performer's experience, show duration and the range of skills in the act. Variety entertainers combine multiple disciplines such as comedy, magic, juggling and audience interaction into a single performance.

Q: What does a variety act perform?

The variety entertainers offer a mix of entertainment skills within a single performance, which may include magic, comedy, music, juggling, ventriloquism, impressions and audience interaction. This variety format keeps audiences engaged and entertained with constantly changing acts.

Q: What events are variety entertainers suitable for?

Many clients book variety entertainers for corporate events, private parties, weddings, after-dinner entertainment, family events and cabaret nights. A variety performer is a versatile choice that can adapt to different audiences and event formats.

Q: How long do variety entertainers typically perform?

Most variety entertainers offer performances lasting between 30 and 90 minutes for stage shows, or one to three hours for roaming and close-up entertainment. The right format depends on the event structure. It is a good idea to discuss options when making an enquiry.

Q: Do variety entertainers bring their own equipment?

Most variety entertainers bring all their own props and performance equipment. For stage performances, a microphone or PA system may be needed at larger venues. It is worth confirming any technical requirements with the performer.

Q: Is the material suitable for all ages?

Most performers carry a clean set for family and corporate audiences and a stronger one for adult-only evenings, and will ask which is wanted. Where children are present for part of the night only, the show can usually be split so the later material lands after they have gone. Giving the age range, and saying whether it is a work crowd, is the most useful brief a booker can provide.

Q: Can a variety act be tailored to a theme or occasion?

Personalising a show is common, with names, in-jokes or a company's own material worked into the set. Anything referring to individuals is best sent in writing a week or two ahead so it can be rehearsed rather than improvised. Performers will say what they can and cannot include, since some routines are fixed by their staging.

Q: Do bookers usually hire one act or several?

One performer covering several skills is the usual reason for booking this way, and it costs less than hiring separate specialists. Longer events sometimes pair someone moving among the guests early on with a stage show later, which can be the same person in two formats. Where the budget stretches to one slot only, the stage show is normally the part people remember.

Q: Can I contact multiple suppliers at the same time?

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard .

Q: How far in advance do we need to book?

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Richard John - Magician "We have had Richard perform at our restaurant in a holiday park and he was fantastic. All the guests were impressed. We were that impressed that we also booked him for our daughters wedding. Everyone we spoke to after said that he was fantastic and spoke about his act. Richard gets everyone involved. It’s not a stand up act, he goes around and performs at tables and around the bar etc. We will be booking him for next year and also the kids workshop that he does." Based in Honiton, England, United Kingdom (252 miles from Clonakilty) Amanda

Multi Award winning magician "I reached out to Magic-ian when arranging the annual dinner awards. ian was so helpful with his time and input. I was unsure that one man could perform for 400 people within a few hours but i was amazed by his consistent and proficient execution throughout the entire room. It was a joy to watch and a occasion to remember. He never once asked for it but he had drinks waiting for him when he finished See you in a few months again Ian" Based in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom (277 miles from Clonakilty) Helen Evans - NHS awards

Ben Harris Magician "I've known Ben for a number of years and have been amazed at his magic and how they have developed over time. After attending one of his shows, where he showed just how good he was at magic and illusion, I asked him if he would come to entertain my grandchildren and their friends at my home. Ben was great! My grandchildren and their friends were enthralled with all the magic tricks he performed which were entirely suitable for the young ones. Ben has the ability to entertain children and adults alike, gearing his show to his audience and demonstrating his versatility with all ages. He is a real showman and is a pleasure to watch! I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone which is interested in magic and illusion, you will have a really enjoyable time!" Based in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom (277 miles from Clonakilty) Ronnie Wilkinson

Chris P Tee Comedy Magic Show "Chris was absolutely Fab! Parents were amazed that our group of 15 kids (10 years old) could stay 2h under Chris charm and magic. The ventriloquist part was so funny. Overall I can only recommend Chris to anyone looking for a great time." Based in Chipping Sodbury, England, United Kingdom (278 miles from Clonakilty) Sebastien de Montessus - 10yr old birthday party

Jay Adkins Mind Magician "Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you very much for bemusing many of my guests on Saturday night. The close up magic went down very well and kept people talking trying to figure out how tricks were done! They didn't know I had arranged a magician and all said what a good idea it was. Thank you once again" Based in Kidderminster, England, United Kingdom (286 miles from Clonakilty) Jo Evans
