Booked for Birthday party

Wayne was hugely professional before the event and really flexible with times and his material. On the night Wayne was excellent and everyone said how entertaining he was. His act was really fun and he involved guests of all ages. His act was tailored to me and was really funny. Can’t thank Wayne enough, he was excellent 👍

Booked for Private party

"I booked Louis for a last minute event. Louis not only responded quickly, but immediately showed true professionalism and likeability. When the night came around, Louis promptly showed up and guided us from start to finish on how to get the best out of our audience. When the show began, Louis was hilarious from start to finish and had our guests in fits of laughter throughout. Would highly recommend and will happily book again. If I could rate 10 starts, I would."

What equipment is required to hire a comedian for a party?

The main equipment required to hire a comedian for a party is a microphone. Other requirements include a performance space, usually 2m x 2m, or just somewhere the comedian can stand for people to see him or her. However, some comedians require a stage performance that is 10x8 feet. Some perform while intermingling with the guests. There are some comedians whose performances involve theatrics. If you want to hire such comedians, you should make provisions for a changing area as well. The time needed for setup is usually between 20 minutes to an hour.
