Quick View
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
"Martin's vocal range is unbelievable and his ability to grab the audience and hold their attention is truly something to behold." "Harley Davidson
"Martin was simply amazing!" Deloitte Consulting
"Mat's performance was terrific! He had the audience in the palm of his hands from his opening right thru to the closing and received a standing ovation at the end. I have never seen this group of people become so involved and responsive to an entertainer. The room was jumping with energy and enthusiasm of people were clapping with the music, tapping their toes and just having a great time. I hope Mat and Sandy had as much fun doing the show as we had watching it. Mat's vocal range was incredible and the speed that he changed from one character to another was unbelievable.
I would recommend Mat Gauthier to anyone. His act was funny and extremely entertaining, his voice was incredible. His show appealed to every age as the entertainers he portrayed came from the last 30 or 40 years right up to today. And all that without a single swear word. His act was so good that people didn't even notice that it wasn't X rated.
I know the room was smaller than Mat would probably have liked. We normally have 120 people out for these events, but we maxed out the room with 150 attendees. That took up some room that I had originally planned for the stage area. Mat met with the sound guy I had hired and worked it out and later told me it wasn't a problem even though I'm sure it was.
Some of the comments I received were:
Great party, the entertainment was fantastic! Best party EVER You will never top that entertainment!
Thanks for helping me find Mat and making all the arrangements. Mat's show was definitely worth any extra effort it took." BP
"This guy and his shows are amazing! I have been lucky enough to see him perform 3 times in the last 6 months and I would go again and again. If you have the opportunity to attend one of his shows…treat yourself! He is engaging, funny and his magic is amazing. A must see!!"

F.A.Q.
What is the typical process for booking a professional entertainer?
The booking lifecycle generally follows a three-step process: Strategic Discovery & Curation to define goals and budget, Selection & Contracting where a vetted shortlist is provided and terms are negotiated, and Logistics & Content Alignment where travel and technical riders are managed.
How much does it cost to hire professional talent?
Pricing is categorized into investment tiers: emerging or local talent ($3,500 and under), established regional acts ($3,501–$10,000), national professionals ($10,001–$25,000), premium keynotes ($25,001–$100,000), and celebrity elite talent ($100,001 and over).
What does “Corporate Clean” comedy actually mean?
Corporate clean comedy ensures humor is “HR-safe,” meaning it is void of profanity, crude sexual content, and divisive topics like politics or religion to ensure a professional environment for diverse audiences.
Why should I use a talent agency instead of booking an entertainer directly?
Agencies provide a “safety net” by guaranteeing a suitable replacement if a performer cancels unexpectedly. They also offer unbiased advice ensuring you get the most suitable act, handle complex contract negotiations, and leverage industry relationships to secure better rates.
What Are The Essential Logistical Requirements For Booking Dueling Pianos?
Booking dueling pianos requires a 16’ x 12’ stage, professional concert mains, and a maximum audience distance of six feet. Maintaining close proximity to the performers is essential for the sing-along, high-energy environment that makes this format successful in corporate settings. To avoid audio “smearing,” I ensure the sound engineer uses directional microphones and duckers to manage the natural acoustic bleed from the room.
How Can Entertainment Engage Both Introverted And Extroverted Corporate Attendees?
Engaging diverse personality types requires a mix of high-energy stage acts and low-pressure, roaming observational entertainment. This “choose your own adventure” model ensures extroverts can take center stage while introverts connect through intimate moments like close-up magic. I often design “multiple entertainment zones” to allow guests to explore the event at their own comfort level, which significantly increases overall satisfaction scores.
What Are The Most Impactful Corporate Entertainment Trends For 2026?
Impactful 2026 trends focus on shorter, high-impact performances and “purposeful technology” like augmented reality and AI integration. The industry is shifting from “mass to meaning,” prioritizing niche, intentional gatherings that respect the attendee’s cognitive bandwidth. We are seeing a major rise in “analog moments”—such as unplugged sets or live painters—as a strategic response to the digital fatigue of modern work life.
What Steps Ensure Talent Customizes Performances For Highly Specific Goals?
Ensuring customization requires a briefing call where the talent reviews company values, audience demographics, and sensitive topics. Top-tier entertainers act as “translators” for the brand, adapting their tone and pacing to match the specific emotional outcome of the event. Whether it’s a comedian tailoring jokes to industry quirks or a band reworking a jingle, this alignment is what transforms spectacle into strategy.
What Is The Ideal Procurement Timeline For Booking Corporate Talent?
The ideal timeline begins 12 months out for venue locking, with talent finalized at the nine-month mark for maximum customization. This proactive approach allows planners to negotiate better rates and avoid the limited options associated with last-minute booking. In today’s “talent wars,” securing your first-choice artist early is the only way to protect your budget from the 30% to 40% fee surges common in the mid-2020s.
What are the space requirements for specialty acts like magicians or hypnotists?
A professional hypnosis show typically requires a performance area of at least 20 feet deep and 30 feet wide to safely accommodate chairs for volunteers. Corporate mentalist and magic shows generally require a 15–20 foot wide performance area.
Do you provide entertainment for virtual or hybrid events?
We support virtual entertainment delivered via platforms like Zoom, WebEx, and Microsoft Teams. Options include game shows, virtual comedians, mentalism, and interactive emcees who use digital tools like mobile gamification to engage remote teams.
What insurance coverage is required for entertainers?
Most venues require entertainers to carry general liability insurance, often with limits of $1 million to $5 million. Planners should request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming the venue as an “Additional Insured”.
