Corporate parties aren’t just about handing out shields, certificates, or bonuses anymore. And think about it—how many of your employees or attendees can you even give a shield or bonus to? How would it feel to celebrate in an environment with only traditional speeches or honorary words, without any plan to entertain the people present at the event?
What about the entertainment of the employees or guests who work just as hard as everyone else? That’s why every corporate party must include some form of entertainment. It doesn’t matter what type—it depends entirely on your capacity and circumstances—but you should know about the top corporate party entertainers and how you can potentially hire them. So the question is: how many types of corporate party entertainers exist?
Types Of Entertainment For Corporate Party
Be it a celebration or a much-needed morale boost to strengthen employee productivity and connection to the workplace, corporate events and parties play a crucial role in every successful company.
Musicians and Singers: Majority of the people like big names of the music and singing industry and It’s considered one of the most entertaining out of all the types of entertainment for any corporate party but they come with a disadvantage of being expansive, Short on Time, not available 24/7 and not so engaging and entertaining to different types of people.
Comedians: Most people take it as the 2nd best choice for their corporate party but it comes with the disadvantage of being offensive to some people and disrupting the flow if someone doesn’t like it and we do know there are some serious natured people and people who don’t like comedy or maybe not in the mood to listen to jokes.
Dancers: Everyone of us likes dancing regardless of whether it’s folk or modern but most of us don’t know how to dance and dancing is considered the most entertaining form of an event or a party for every age, color, gender and class. And it is considered the most entertaining form of entertainment.
Mentalists and Magicians: According to many studies it’s the way of entertainment in corporate events that make employees and attendees think about the creativity and power of their brains and limitations helping them be more creative. The National Library of Medicine has mentioned in their research stating that “those who like magic are more likely to experience positive epistemic emotions, have higher levels of general optimism, and express greater satisfaction with their lives.”
What are the big names of Mentalism?

Brown made his Broadway debut with his 2019 stage show Secret.

If all Mentalists are so expensive to hire for an event then what should I do for my event?
The best choice for an event or party organizer is often to look for a mentalist who may not be widely known but is highly experienced. Using myself as an example I’ve been practicing mentalism for about 10 years and have performed at hundreds of events throughout New England and across the U.S. I’m also available to perform internationally. I bring a lot of energy to every show, and I’ve consistently received very positive feedback for my performances.
If you’re working with a tight budget but still want someone who can truly entertain, then you better call Matt.
