Company Holiday Parties, Regular Parties, and Special Events

Company Holiday Parties, Regular Parties, and Special Events 

Sometimes, company holiday parties are enjoyed simply out of necessity—or because they offer a reprieve from work. It can be hard to fully let your hair down in a place full of open flames (metaphorically). Likewise, getting into the “holiday spirit” can be a groggy transition if you’ve been staring at spreadsheets for hours.

But there’s no reason office holiday parties and other special events can’t be a blast.

You just need the funny.

So if you’ve just started planning your next company party, or you’re rethinking how to make the next one more enjoyable, you should strongly consider using a comedian booking company like The Comedian Company.

There are many, many party entertainment companies out there. But how many have our decades of experience and thousands upon thousands of entertainers at their disposal? We have local entertainers in almost every city in America, and many are happy to travel to you—with virtual entertainers also an option.

Ideas for company parties seldom touch on comedy, but they should.

“I had a pretty good time, but all the laughing got old kinda fast,” said no one ever.

Laughing is like candy: it’s hard to get enough of it. But there’s no risk of needing a root canal or limb amputation from too much laughter.

In this article, we’ll speak broadly to how beneficial a comedian can be at company holiday parties and other kinds of celebrations, including anniversaries.

Let’s start with most people’s favorite holiday—and a great reason to fill your house full of pine needles and drive your cats crazy.

Christmas Parties: A Mainstay of Corporate Events

One of the most common types of company holiday parties is a Christmas party. Unfortunately, so too are the rest of the proceedings (common). There may be some form of gift exchange, maybe some karaoke of questionable quality, and a spread of refreshments. There is nothing wrong with this per se, but maybe you really want to reward your team. Maybe it’s been a banner year. Or, conversely, it’s been a rough go, and you want to give something back. Employee retention is crucial, and if you can’t afford financial incentives, making your team feel appreciated is just as important.

So stop searching for ideas for company parties.

A comedian can do wonders for a festive atmosphere. Picture the energy and levity Will Ferrell brings to any venture. He just makes any movie better with his presence. It’s the power of being funny.

Whether you’re trying to juice up the friendly competition of a trivia contest or just keep the mood light, having a professional comedian at company holiday parties enriches the occasion. Everyone is looking to laugh, even if they don’t realize it. And it’s hard to have a bad time when you’re laughing.

But what about non-holiday events, you may be asking?

Anniversary Events: Making It a Celebration for Everyone

If you’re an owner or in upper management, an anniversary means something completely different than it does to a rank-and-file employee. Higher-ups are pleased to make it another year; the rank-and-file are just happy to have a job. This is why your company anniversary party ideas should include a comedian.

Celebrating your business anniversary with a comedian on hand lets the hoi polloi enjoy themselves, too. Because if you want to enjoy another anniversary, you need to make the foundation of your company feel appreciated. Rhetoric about how great it is that the company achieved some milestone does little for someone who’s just trying to eke out an existence. They know this celebration is more for those who will actively benefit from it.

Let’s switch gears a bit and talk about a different way to give back to your team.

Give your Team the Casino Experience

You can’t reward your team if they don’t show up. And sometimes, a work party can feel more like an obligation than a chance to have fun. You need something fresh. Spice up one of your company holiday parties with a casino theme.

You’ve probably seen The Office episode where they have a “casino night.” Likewise, you can see how your office could potentially be transformed to resemble an authentic casino, with casino games, decor, and the like.

What makes a casino night such an appealing occasion is that gambling activates the brain’s “reward system,” especially when participants have “near misses.” Adding a comedian to the mix—having them host the event? That’s giving the reward system a double dose of the good stuff.

So, how do we arrange a professional entertainer for the proceedings?
