COSTS
How much does it cost to hire a comedian?
We only create shows using high calibre comedians that have a minimum of fifteen years corporate experience and at least two prime time TV appearances. Beneath this level of experience you run the risk of things going badly.
Trust me, nobody wants that!
The minimum fee is around 1-1.25k, pendent on the time of year.

Are there any hidden costs, like travel or accommodation?
None! Our fees are all inclusive, no hidden fees.
Though, on behalf of the HMRC, you will need to pay VAT!
BOOKING AND CANCELLATIONS
Do I have to pay a deposit?
It depends on the level of the talent you book.
Bigger acts require the full amount up front at the point of booking.
Less well known acts require a 50% deposit on booking and the balance payable 30 days before your event.
What if I cancel my event or booking?
If you cancel 22 or more days before your event you will be refunded 50% of the fee.
Cancellations within 21 days are subject to the full fee.
What if the act cancels or gets ill?
To give some context, this happens RARELY.
Across thousands of shows from 1998, this has happened three times.
If it ever does happen you have two options: A full refund, immediately OR allow us to find a similar (or better) act for you. (Which is what we did do, for the 3 times it has happened)
MEDIA AND PRESS
Can I film the performance?
The general quick answer is no. However, there are some more nuanced factors.
These would be: what the purpose of the recording is for and how much of it you wish to use as well as which platforms you wish to broadcast it on.
In most cases we would discuss this and try to find a way to ensure everyone is happy. Usually for any public media the talent would want final signoff on the output.
Can I take photos?
Usually yes, the only caveat being where you intend to use the images and within what context. This is a per client discussion and agreement.
