Here are SEVEN free GREAT tips:
Check references. If other clients are excited about the performer, then you will be too!
Talk with the performer or his/her agent and get a feel about how they do business. If something feels uncomfortable, look elsewhere. Trust your gut.
Get a guarantee. For instance, FRIEDMAN offers a 100% money-back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied with the show.
Make sure the entertainment is right for your setting. For instance, FRIEDMAN's show is right for an after-dinner setting where there is a focussed audience, but his show is NOT right for a setting where people are milling about with lots of noise. For that situation, you would probably want a band or DJ, or perhaps some strolling walk-around entertainment.
Some entertainers have videos (or DVDs) of their show. This is not always the best way to judge the impact of a performer. With today's editing techniques, laugh-track dubbing, applause dubbing, special effects and more, these videos are often deceptive. What you see on the video is not usually what you get in a real live performance.
So, talk to eyewitnesses. Talk with people who have seen the show live and in person.
Just like when you're looking for a restaurant to dine at, if there are three or four different people who rave about the restaurant, you probably have a 100% chance that the restaurant is great!
Look at a combination of the performer's clients, their testimonial letters, the entertainer's television appearances, and press reviews. If all these things are favorable, there is a reason.
REMEMBER: One great review doesn't mean anything. But several great reviews over a number of years indicate the entertainer does their job exceedingly well.
