If you are a planner, you’ll probably in need of some creative entertainment ideas for your event or meeting, so because of that, we at Red Masque have put together a nice list.    

1.          Hire a comedian who can poke some fun at your CEO, do an impersonation of him, or even make light of your industry as a whole.

2.          Hire a magician that can incorporate your sales message into his magic, or cut your CEO or receptionist in half. He might even be able to vanish the CEO, much to the delight of the employees.

3.            Book a vocal improvisation group to take requests and spin them into a funny performance.

4.            Have a musician write a song about your company and play it at the event.

5.          Hire a celebrity impersonator to come to the event and sign autographs and take pictures with guests.

6.          Book a caricature artist to draw personalized sketches of each employee at the company. These are fun souvenirs as well.

7.          Book a digital caricature artist who composes his or her photos digitally on a computer right in front of your eyes. They can even personalize the backdrop to reflect the company or event. This is a great souvenir for the guests to take home.

8.          Book a balloon artist that makes the life size figures such as Disney characters, scenery like palm trees, huge company logos, and more. The balloon artist can do these figures with everyone watching making it an experience to watch the balloons being put together.

9.            How about a strolling juggler who can mingle through the cocktail hour.

10.        Book a stilt walker to make a big announcement for your company at an annual conference or meeting. It is a fun and guaranteed way to get everyone’s attention.

11.        A clown is a great option for events with children or families. There are also evil clowns for events with no kids or around Halloween.

12.        Book a palm reader to make psychic predictions about the future of the company or to tell people’s fortunes.

13.        Hire a reality TV star to interact with guests. They are far less money than big time Hollywood celebrities.

15.        An a cappella group can perform on stage or stroll through the event during a cocktail hour or dinner.

21.          A steel drum band can be a nice addition to a high end gala event.

22.        Booking a fire eater can be a great way to kick off the launch of a hot new product or service.
