A comedian at a daytime company event in Toronto, such as a team day, a lunch or a late-afternoon gathering, performs to a room that&#8217;s at work, not at a party. That changes the length, the material and the room. Send us your date, venue and guest count, and you can compare options with prices for comedians who are available that day.<\/p>\n<h2>A shorter performance<\/h2>\n<p>A daytime event has a tighter schedule. Ask how long a short performance runs, and tell the comedian exactly when it starts and what comes next.<\/p>\n<h2>Material for a room at work<\/h2>\n<p>In the daytime, the people in the room are colleagues in the middle of a working day. Ask for clean material, and give the comedian a short brief: who&#8217;s in the room, the reason for the event, anything to leave alone, and whether they can mention your company or team.<\/p>\n<h2>The room<\/h2>\n<p>A meeting room or a cafeteria isn&#8217;t set up for a performance. Check with whoever runs the space:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a microphone and a sound system everyone can hear;<\/li>\n<li>seats facing the spot where the comedian stands;<\/li>\n<li>that the comedian won&#8217;t be standing in front of a bright window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where it fits in the day<\/h2>\n<p>Pick a moment when people are seated and not in the middle of eating, and tell the comedian when it is.<\/p>\n<h2>Colleagues online<\/h2>\n<p>If some colleagues join online, ask the comedian whether they can perform to a room and a screen at the same time, and test the microphone and camera before they start.<\/p>\n<h2>Questions to ask before you book<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>How long is your short performance?<\/li>\n<li>Is your material clean, and will you work from our brief?<\/li>\n<li>Have you performed at daytime company events before?<\/li>\n<li>What do you need from the room: a microphone, sound, a clear spot to stand?<\/li>\n<li>Can you perform to colleagues online as well as in the room?<\/li>\n<li>Can you send a short video of a recent corporate event?<\/li>\n<li>If the building asks for proof of insurance, can you send it?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What changes the price<\/h2>\n<p>The price depends on how long they perform, whether it&#8217;s in the holiday season, and travel outside Toronto.<\/p>\n<h2>How booking works with AGNT<\/h2>\n<p>AGNT is a booking company.
