Combining comedy and music

A popular corporate format is a comedian after dinner followed by a band or tribute act for the party. The comedian lifts the room, and the band keeps the energy going. If your event includes awards, the comedian can double as host.

Timing

Comedy works best after dinner, when the room is settled and attentive. Avoid scheduling it while tables are being cleared or the bar is busy.
