HIRE A COMEDIAN
Paul Frisbie works out of Chicago, IL. He's a regular at clubs like Zanies', the Improv and the Funny Bone. He appears at casinos, colleges and corporate events all across the United States, and also works the cruise lines upon occasion. He has performed in all 50 states and in six foreign countries.

Frisbie has appeared on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Show and was recently the subject of a feature story in the Chicago Tribune Magazine. It's believed that Frisbie was the first comic on the planet to post a web site, which was subsequently featured in the nationwide bestseller, Netmarketing. Frisbie's own book, The Chicago River Out Your Window,  is currently available at Barnes & Noble Booksellers.

Frisbie is a graduate of the University of Illinois at Champaign, where he owned and operated nightclubs and a laundromat/bar. He sold his clubs in 1992 to work full time as a standup comic and freelance writer.

Everybody has different tastes in music, movies and theater.  When in doubt, hire a comedian.

Hiring a Comedian
When Hiring a Comedian: Location
Comedians expect to travel. They think nothing of renting a car at the airport and then motoring three hours into the middle of nowhere. You can get good comedians anywhere.  But if you're not in a large city with respectable local acts, you can expect to budget for the travel expenses and a hotel room.

When Hiring a Comedian: Pricing
In every business skill and experience command a premium price. Event organizers generally want to hire a comic who can be very funny without resorting to potty humor. Sadly, most "comedians" can't do that. So the ones who can are in high demand.

You'll pay less when you hire a comedian for a weekday show, or if he finds that your location is convenient travel routing for another booking that's already on his calendar.

When Hiring a Comedian: Audience Size
Seasoned comedians aren't concerned about the size of your audience. In the same month Paul Frisbie may headline a busy county fair and find himself in front of the 11 people who showed up for the Friday late show in a comedy club on Fourth of July weekend. Every show is unique, and any comedian will tell you that adjusting to different environments is part of the sport. If your audience will be small, there's no need to worry. A comedian wouldn't.

When Hiring a Comedian: It's All About You
Audiences like it when a comedian has a few lines that were obviously custom-tailored for that evening's event. A comedian not only doesn't mind if you call in advance to talk about your group, he's actually hoping you'll do that very thing.
