Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of hiring a comedian will vary depending on several factors including the location of your event, its duration and the specific comedian or host you’re hiring. We’ll negotiate a fair price on your behalf, while also handling all the logistics.

The fee normally includes the act’s comedy performance as well as hosting duties but we will tailor packages specifically to your needs and budget. Usually, travel and accommodation for the comedian will be charged separately but can be arranged by us.

Every comedian will have their own schedule and preferences so how far in advance you should book will depend on them. If you’re looking to book a big-name comedian, we’d recommend booking 9-12 months in advance. However, if you’re flexible, things can be arranged at shorter notice. We always strive to accommodate bookings at any time but to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible, we’d recommend booking at least three months in advance.

If you need to cancel or re-arrange after hiring a comedian, please let us know as soon as possible. Our team will work with you and your chosen comedian or comedy event host to rearrange.

Hiring comedians is made easy with Evolve. First, browse our website and choose a comedian, if you’re unsure, give us a call and we’ll be able to advise on who is best for your event and create a shortlist. Then, we can get a quote to you and ensure your chosen act is available. Once we’ve received your deposit, we’ll put all the logistics in place including arranging transport and timings for the day.
