WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“Thanks for a great show last week! We are still receiving many positive comments about the event. How you brought the honoured guests into your opening remarks and remembered EVERYONE’s names was a nice touch.”
Kerr Street Mission
"Dear Mr. Johns, It is not often that I write letters of appreciation and you probably don't get them as often as you deserve. But I just want to once again thank you for a fabulous evening of entertainment that you provided at the Utah Credit Union Association's Volunteer Conference at the Zermatt Resort in Midway Utah last Friday evening Oct 22nd, 2010. The Association has always provided excellent speakers and entertainment for credit unions in Utah but in my and my entire Board of Director's opinion, your performance was the best of any entertainment we have ever experienced regardless of venue. Please accept our heartfelt thanks for a job well done. We are all envious of your many talents and abilities and you should be very proud of your accomplishments in making other people happy." SummitOne Credit Union
"Andrew Johns is the consummate performer… PERIOD! I have been using Andrew over the past 10 years for so many events that he's become somewhat a trademark at our clients programs. Andrew is one of those rare performers that can perform every year at the annual events and people just don't tire of him. In fact, quite the opposite. He is requested to return time and time again. On post event surveys, numerous attendees are writing in that he was one of the highlights of the entire program." Branded Experiences
"This guy has serious talent." Kate Matthews, Mobadass Music

F.A.Q.
How do I ensure a hired comedian is HR-safe and won’t offend my audience?
To ensure a comedian is “Corporate Clean,” top agencies and bureaus strictly vet performers who specialize in professional environments and avoid profanity or divisive topics. Acts focus on relatable workplace humor and customized material. We facilitate a customization briefing to align the performer’s tone with your specific company culture, mitigating brand risk.
What are the actual stage and technical requirements for a dueling pianos show?
A professional dueling pianos performance typically requires a stage footprint of at least 16 feet wide by 12 feet deep to accommodate baby grand shells and equipment. You will also need an HD sound system and professional stage lighting. Keeping the audience within six feet of the stage maximizes the sing-along engagement. We can supply sound and lights as well.
What happens if the entertainer we have booked cancels at the last minute due to illness?
If a performer cancels, a premier bureau provides a comprehensive “Replacement Guarantee,” leveraging an extensive North American network to secure a suitable alternative immediately. The agency handles all logistics, from contracting to travel, ensuring your event proceeds without interruption. This “Safety Net” protects organizations from the disruptions of unforeseen cancellations.
Which types of entertainment are most effective for fighting digital fatigue among employees?
To combat “Digital Fatigue,” we recommend “Analog-First” entertainment like interactive mentalism, close-up magic, interactive game shows that demand physical presence. These formats produce “phone-down behavior” because the shared emotional moment is impossible to replicate through a screen. This facilitates real conversation and human connection more effectively than digital-only channels.
How far in advance should I realistically book a celebrity or national headliner?
For high-demand celebrities, national headliners, or Olympic athletes, you should plan to book 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak seasons. Early booking ensures the best availability and ample time to customize the performance for your organization’s specific goals. For regional talent, a 2-to-6-month window is usually sufficient.
Can corporate entertainers customize their performance to mention our industry or leadership?
Yes, professional “Customized Comedians” and keynote speakers specifically tailor their content to your organization, industry, and even specific leadership figures. Performers weave “inside jokes” and company milestones into their sets to create a unique experience. We arrange pre-event briefings to ensure the material reinforces your culture and desired emotional resonance.
What is the difference between a strolling magician and an after-dinner stage show?
A “Strolling Magician” moves through the crowd, performing intimate magic for groups, which is ideal for ice-breaking during cocktail receptions. A “Stage Magician” or illusionist performs for the entire room at once, creating a unified “WOW” moment that acts as a focal point for the evening. Your choice depends on your goal for networking or collective engagement.
Do you provide diverse or bilingual performers for international or multicultural teams?
Yes, we represent a wide variety of bilingual and diverse talent to cater to multicultural North American and international audiences. This includes performers who can deliver shows in multiple languages or reflect specific cultural narratives. We understand the importance of inclusive programming in 2026 and match talent to your team’s specific demographic.
What is the most sophisticated entertainment for a high-level executive dinner?
For executive dinners of up to 35 guests, we recommend “Executive-Level Experiences” like formal close-up mentalism or a chef-led culinary demo. These acts offer high “Room Command” and composure, engaging leaders without diminishing the room’s sophistication. A performer who can balance humor and astonishment creates an exclusive brand experience for your leadership team.
Does the bureau handle the technical rider and travel logistics for the performers?
The bureau manages the entire logistical process, including the technical rider, travel arrangements, and hotel bookings. We coordinate directly with your venue to ensure all AV, lighting, and stage requirements are met before the talent arrives. By handling these details, we remove the stress of planning and ensure a world-class execution.
How do we determine a realistic budget for a large-scale gala?
Budget tiers for galas vary based on the desired impact. Experienced corporate stage entertainers typically range from $7,500 to $25,000. If you require a “National Headliner” or celebrity to drive ticket sales, budgets range from $25,000 to over $250,000. We provide transparent quotes that offer the best value and impact within your specified financial parameters.
Why should we hire a professional emcee instead of using an internal host?
A “Professional Emcee” improves timing, keeps energy levels high, and eliminates the “dead air” that can occur between segments. While internal leaders provide authority, an emcee brings decades of “Audience Control” and professional polish. They handle transitions and the run-of-show, allowing your executives to focus on their core message.
How do you vet performers to ensure they are suitable for high-end corporate settings?
Every entertainer is vetted for “Experience, Expertise, and Reliability” through a rigorous process involving full-length video reviews and verified client testimonials. We prioritize talent with a proven track record at high-level events and international summits. Our expertise in the US and Canada allows us to provide unbiased advice that booking direct cannot offer.
