Booking comedy well
Comedy depends more than any other act on the room: the seating, the lighting and when the set happens. Put comedians after the meal, while guests are seated, and keep the bar quiet during the set. Tell the comic about the audience and agree the tone in advance. Read how to book a comedian and what a compère does.
