Frequently asked questions

Pricing for variety entertainers ranges from £80 to £1,100+, with an average of £300. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
