Page: TOC 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 7. The Entertainment's ReferencesIt seems simple to request a reference from a previous client of the comedy act you intend to hire. But you should keep several factors in mind when asking for and determining the value of the references you see or hear. Consider the following questions: How recent of a reference can you receive? If the "hallmark" reference the act provides is 3- 4 years old, you don't need to be suspicious, but you might like to know about more recent shows. Besides written references, can you call and speak directly to anyone about a recent show? Can the comedians offer a variety of references from different types of clients? For instance, does your act have any experience performing for audiences involved in healthcare? Or education? Or client appreciation? If they can provide more specific references you can make a better decision. Does the quality and the quantity of the references suggest a professional act? Do you feel confident hiring the act by the references they provide? Point: It is always more important to see or hear what others say about the act you intend to hire. Consider the recency, the variety, and the accessibility of the references you get to see and hear. Next >> |
