30 Oct Virtual Entertainment for Hire

Virtual Speakers for Hire

Among the things Covid taught us? Working from home was far more feasible than we realized. Yet another thing the pandemic taught us was that working from home can be quite isolating. Remote teams need to socialize. They need to engage. And every now and then they need a team-building activity to keep them stimulated.

And what’s more engaging than sharing a laugh?

A virtual comedy show, or another virtual event, is a great way to reward your team and give them something to relieve the monotony and isolation of the workday.

You might be wondering, “Why don’t we just send our team links to funny YouTube clips, Instagram reels, or TikTok videos?”

You could. Sharing funny links at work is certainly enjoyable, but it’s not creating an occasion. It’s not special.

Virtual entertainment for hire creates a special occasion.

So whether you are looking for corporate comedy or corporate motivation, you need to host something unique.

Keep reading to learn why virtual entertainment for hire is the gift your company sorely needs to give.

Benefits of Virtual Comedy Shows for Corporate Events

Do you like saving money? Of course you do. Well, one of the best perks of online events is that they are cost-effective. A virtual performer doesn’t have travel expenses. Moreover, because your performer doesn’t have to travel, this increases the pool of entertainers you can pick from, as their availability won’t be constrained by your location. Ordinarily, if you wanted a specific entertainer, you’d have to take into consideration where they are in their schedule relative to your location. But with a virtual event, no such consideration has to take place.

Also (as will be discussed more below), virtual entertainment has a much simpler setup than a traditional performance.

So if flexibility and price are key considerations, virtual speakers for hire should be a strong contender for your next event.

But they’re not the only advantages.

You’ve probably heard that old business chestnut that “What gets measured improves.” Great news, virtual entertainment is easily measured. There are myriad tools out there to quantify how your event is being received.

Finally, a virtual event is more ecologically conscious than an in-person event, as you cut back on the entertainers’ travel time.

Wondering how you’ll get everything going? Let’s get into it.

How to Run Virtual Comedy Shows

The beauty of virtual entertainment for hire is the simplicity. Most public speakers, comedic or otherwise, require an audio system, an adequate stage, and even sufficient lighting. Virtual entertainment for hire demands only a stable Wi-Fi connection and a functional platform to host the performers.

However, this is not to say we’ll leave you to flounder. At The Comedian Company, we’re happy to assist wherever we can. After all, we want your virtual event to be as much of a success as you do (if not more, as it’s our professionalism on the line).

Generally, it helps to test the link before the performance to ensure the link works and people can log in. Many companies use Zoom, but there is no shortage of platforms to choose from. However, it’s better to test out your chosen platform and see if it works before bringing the occasion to a screeching halt.

Besides setup, another significant consideration is the type of performer you want. So let’s discuss some non-comedic virtual speakers for hire.

Other Virtual Speakers for Hire

If you’re not in the market for stand-up comedy, no problem. We have an array of other virtual speakers for hire that includes virtual magicians and virtual keynote speakers.

Do people really want to see virtual magic? Very much so, according to an article in Town & Country—further supported by other data that suggests virtual magic performances have helped the industry overall; as of 2025 it has steadily grown over the last couple of years.

Why do people enjoy virtual magic?

According to the Town & Country article, people crave a sense of wonder, but magic is also great for audience engagement, as magicians love to incorporate audience members into their act.

And if you’re looking to inspire or educate rather than entertain, one of our keynote speakers or motivational speakers can provide that extra boost your company so desperately needs.

Want to make your staff motivated and laugh at the same time? We’ve got virtual speakers for hire like Jason Douglas that pull double duty, giving talks that hit the funny bone and inspire in equal measure.
