Super Silent Discos were excellent, quick and friendly with their communication and organised the delivery of the equipment by courier well in time for our event. System was easy to link up to our phones/tablet and the headsets had really good quality sound. Would definitely use again. Many thanks!!

Rick was an absolute pleasure to have at our corporate event. He is super talented and all the visitors to our exhibition stand really enjoyed the experience. On the lead up to the event Rick’s communication was great and fully understood our goals for the event. His close up magic skills are the best I’ve seen and I was very impressed by his natural ability to communicate and engage with visitors. A number of leads have already mentioned how much they enjoyed the experience and this has left them with a positive impression of our company. If you are looking for a magician for your corporate event, Rick is your man.

System was easy to set up and use, also very impressed with the customer service! There was an issue at my local parcelforce depot which delayed delivery but Ryan was super quick and helpful in getting it sorted and even offered to send out another system as back up - luckily the system arrived in time so this wasn't required. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book!

Alex was fantastic!! We booked him for a private function with only 12 guests and he kept us mesmerised for a whole hour. It was the highlight of our evening and i am happy to recommend him. Not only this but he was likeable, easy to get on with and very punctual. Thanks again

Mad For It: Your Guide to Booking Brilliant Party Entertainment in Manchester

Alright, so you’re planning a do in Manchester. You've got the venue sorted – maybe a cool converted mill in Ancoats, a slick studio space, or the upstairs room of a proper city pub. The guest list is shaping up, and you’re ready to show everyone a good time. But how do you capture that unique, buzzing energy that makes this city so special?

Let’s be real, a playlist of Madchester classics is a great start, but it won’t make your party the one people are still talking about months later. You need something more. You need live entertainment.

As event professionals who have organised our fair share of shindigs across this brilliant city, we know that finding the right act can feel like a bit of a palaver. But it doesn't have to be. We're here to cut through the noise and help you find that perfect performer to make your office party, student social, or engagement do absolutely unforgettable.

Why Your Mancunian Bash Needs a Pro

You might have a mate who’s a bit of a laugh, but there’s a world of difference between that and hiring a professional. Pro entertainment is about creating a proper atmosphere, getting your guests mingling, and giving them a shared experience that lifts the entire event. It’s the magic ingredient that turns a simple get-together into a legendary night.

Think of it as the ultimate party upgrade. A great entertainer doesn’t just perform; they engage, they delight, and they ensure every single guest feels part of something special. It's about hosting a party that will be remembered for all the right reasons.

The Perfect Match: Pairing Acts with Your Party and Venue

Manchester is a city of contrasts, from gritty industrial charm to sleek modern cool. Your entertainment should feel right at home in your chosen setting. A roaring comedian might be perfect for a lively office party but perhaps a bit much for an intimate engagement do.

Here are a few classic Manchester scenarios to get the ideas flowing:

  • The Office Party: You've booked a fantastic converted warehouse space. The vibe is relaxed and celebratory. A Comedian with a sharp, northern wit is a guaranteed winner. Or, for something more interactive, a Murder Mystery night can get different departments working together and laughing.
  • The Student Social: You’ve got a room booked in a Northern Quarter pub. You need something cool and memorable. A close-up Magician roaming the room, performing mind-bending tricks, will create a real buzz. A Caricaturist is also a brilliant shout, giving everyone a unique and hilarious memento of the night.

  • The Big Birthday: Whether it's an 18th or a 50th, you want to make a statement. In a larger studio or event space, Circus Entertainers can provide a genuine 'wow' moment, while high-energy Dancers are perfect for getting everyone, from mates to grandparents, in the mood for a boogie.
  • The Engagement Do: This is a special, personal celebration, often held in a hotel function room or private dining space. A sophisticated Magician can add a touch of class and wonder, moving between groups of family and friends and helping to break the ice.
  • The key is to find something extraordinary that reflects your personal style. Poptop specialises in services that go beyond the typical, allowing you to create a memorable and exciting event that truly surprises your guests.

    Getting on Theme: It's All About the Vibe

    Manchester has a strong identity, and a well-chosen theme can make your party feel truly authentic. Your entertainment is what brings that theme to life.

    • Warehouse Rave: A nod to the city’s legendary music history. This is all about the energy. Think Circus Entertainers with LED hoops and glowing props, or futuristic Dancers who can perform under UV lights.
    • Indie Night: An absolute classic for this city. A Caricaturist who can sketch your guests as their favourite indie music icons would be a massive hit. Imagine your boss drawn as Liam Gallagher. Priceless.
    • Football Fan Zone: With two of the world's biggest clubs, football is in Manchester's DNA. For a pre-match party or a fan-themed birthday, you could have a Magician performing tricks with red and blue cards, or even Dancers doing a high-energy, cheer-style routine.
    • Retro Arcade: For a fun, nostalgic theme, you need entertainment that matches the vibe. A fast-paced Magician or a lively performer who can engage with the competitive spirit of the night would be perfect.

    Your vision is what’s most important, and our suppliers are brilliant at tailoring their services to fit your event. This flexibility ensures the final result is a personal experience that’s uniquely yours. Got a specific song you want the dancers to perform to, or a private joke you want the comedian to work in? Just ask!

    The Line-Up: Who's on the Bill in Manchester?

    Feeling inspired? Let’s take a closer look at some of the top-tier entertainment you can book for your Manchester party.

    Comedians

    With its rich comedy heritage, Manchester is the perfect city for hiring a stand-up. A great comedian can unite a room in laughter, making them ideal for office parties and birthday celebrations where you want a central focus for the evening.

    Magicians

    The chameleons of the party scene. A magician can adapt to any setting, from an edgy Northern Quarter bar to a slick Spinningfields hotel. Their close-up tricks are perfect for getting guests talking during a drinks reception, leaving everyone asking, "How did they do that?!"

    Caricaturists

    A fantastic, modern way to entertain. A caricaturist provides a brilliant focal point and gives your guests a fun, personalised keepsake to remember the night by. It’s interactive, relaxed, and always gets a great reaction.

    Murder Mystery

    Perfect for the city that loves a good story. A murder mystery night is an immersive experience that turns your guests into detectives. It’s an amazing ice-breaker and works brilliantly for corporate events or birthday parties with a flair for the dramatic.

    Circus Entertainers & Dancers

    Manchester has some incredible large venues, and these acts know how to fill them. Stilt walkers, acrobats, and fire performers bring a festival atmosphere, while professional dancers can deliver a show-stopping performance that gets everyone hyped for the rest of the night.

    Let's Talk Brass Tacks: Budgeting Your Entertainment

    Okay, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. For a top-quality professional entertainer in Manchester, you should look to budget somewhere in the range of £300 to £850.

    Several things can affect the final price:

    • Performance Length: A 45-minute comedy set will cost less than a magician booked for a three-hour reception.
    • The Performer's Profile: An entertainer with a long list of TV credits and corporate clients will naturally have a higher fee.
    • Bespoke Requests: If you need a highly customised performance, this may be reflected in the quote.

    Your time is valuable, so you don't want to be sending dozens of emails just to get a price. That's why we love instant, all-inclusive pricing. On Poptop, you can see the full cost upfront, so you can make decisions straight away without any waiting around. It makes the whole process smooth, fast, and completely hassle-free.

    The Poptop Way: Planning Without the Palaver
