• Filmed performance:

From CAP (Professional Aptitude Certificate) to vocational baccalaureate, one can aim for careers as a machinist, electrician, set builder, etc. Level Bac +2 to Bac +5 training prepares for camera or sound recording, editing and/or mixing, audiovisual production management, etc. They are located in high schools (BTS - higher technician's certificate), universities (bachelor's and master's degrees) or schools. The major public schools (La Fémis, Louis Lumière, ENSP Arles, INA Sup) are highly selective. Similarly, schools specializing in animation are few in number. On the private sector side, the offer is plentiful but of uneven quality. It is best to inquire before enrolling to find out about the certifications and recognition obtained by the institutions. The technical equipment provided to students, the teaching staff, and the relationships with professionals are also crucial. Some schools are recognized by the profession.

When a private entertainment company or an event agency plans to organize a comedic show (whether it is to celebrate a company or a loved one's birthday, for the inauguration of a hall, or for any event whatsoever...), they must know how to find a venue capable of accommodating the expected number of guests, and of providing dignified accommodation for the comedian(s), and they must also be able to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

This formula is becoming more and more common and while this type of show used to be played 100% of the time in an exclusive theater for a single or multiple dates of a given tour, now more and more companies and other clients are booking one or several comedic shows. In this context, more often than not the comedian(s) will be performing on a somewhat unusual stage (sometimes an amphitheater in the company, sometimes in a large meeting room...), and they must therefore adapt and adjust the show accordingly...

Going through a professional structure guarantees the quality of the performance. However, when it comes to a comedy show, it is better not to leave any room for doubt. One must be able to make an entire assembly laugh. To ensure that your event does not fall flat and that the show is a success as expected, do not make the mistake of relying on Jean Jacques, Francis, or Corinne who are employees and practice improvisational theater during the week, and who have assured you that they are capable of managing the situation. It is not only motivation or the desire to make people laugh that makes the audience roar with laughter at the jokes and sketches that follow. A comedian is a professional who can sense the audience, adapt to it, and find the right tone depending on the atmosphere and the audience.

On a completely different administrative level, a professional actor is used to this type of contract and performance. When it comes to the paperwork and administrative procedures related to the contract, once again, it is beneficial to rely on a real entertainment professional because they know their business, and in case of confusion or doubt, they will be able to help and assist you.

Let's not hide the fact that it is a huge risk to look for a solution other than a professional comedy show. A comedian does not become one overnight, and a show is not created or perfected in a few days. If you want to entertain your loved ones, employees, or any audience with a well-crafted, well-rehearsed, and polished performance, then a comedy show with professional actors is a solution that is increasingly popular and for good reason! Note that some comedians offer less stage-oriented concepts, meaning that they walk around the audience throughout the evening and occasionally interact in a perfectly controlled and funny way.

For example, if the event is a cocktail dinner during which you wanted to have a comedian, he or she can provide roaming entertainment around the guests, which is very successful, and the direct contact with the comedian is often very much appreciated by the audience. For this type of performance, which is a bit particular, it is obviously best to discuss it beforehand with the comedian(s) because it often requires special adjustments and writing.

It is best to start planning a few months (even more than a year) in advance of the date set for the event, so that you can avoid any unpleasant surprises. You should be aware that actors (especially if they are successful) often have a schedule to manage with regards to their activity, so if you leave things to the last minute, the actors might not be able to make themselves available.

Therefore, it is best to anticipate and begin with a contact during which you immediately start to define the nature of the evening or event that you want to organize (talking about the audience, the environment, the context, etc.).

Another good reason to collaborate with a professional comedy show organizer is that they might offer you exceptional or specific rates and extras (depending on the audience, the nature of the evening, etc.). Thus, contrary to what one might initially think, while contracting professional comedians for your comedy show will cost money, in another sense, you will make significant savings in terms of organization and logistics, which should not be underestimated.

Let it be known that no matter where you are, in which region, or department of France, finding this type of show should not be too difficult, as there are many of them all over the country, even in small towns, which also have venues and a network in this field. So, rest assured that whether you live in Tungan Sarkin or in a less densely populated rural area, with some searching, you have a good chance of finding what you're looking for not too far away! To start, we suggest that you ask around among your acquaintances, friends, and even at your workplace, and ask your colleagues. Very often, this is how you find the right address, so keep this in mind! In addition, we also recommend that you contact your town hall and town festival committee, as they often have useful contacts that they can share if needed.

If word of mouth doesn't yield any results, which is entirely possible, then know that it is recommended to use the Internet, by consulting a website like StarOfService, for example, which lists all professionals in a particular field, depending on where you search. In just a few clicks, the website will provide you with the contact information of the comedian(s) you're looking for, and you can then arrange the comic show with them.

Let's be honest, it's not really possible for us to answer this question, as the range of possible shows is so diverse that it would take us pages and pages to exhaustively cover them (from 100 Euros to several thousand Euros to give you an idea...). There are many factors that come into play in calculating the overall cost, and we'll try to list the main ones below:

• the length of the event and the artistic performance.
• the number of performers needed for the performance.
• the location where the performance will take place. To conclude on the subject and be fully comprehensive, we want to emphasize that your geographical location can also have a relatively significant impact on the prices charged for a particular show (notably due to travel expenses for artists or performers, as well as logistics...). Expect to pay at least 200 Euros or 300 Euros, and assume that some shows will charge you 1,000 Euros, 2,000 Euros, or even more if you call on a well-known celebrity.

As we have mentioned earlier when it was simply a matter of finding a simple comedy show, using word of mouth is even more useful and relevant when it comes to finding a quality comedy show! That's precisely why, in the first place at least, we advise you to start by asking around your friends, family, and acquaintances, as they may know of a company that provides excellent services close to you (which will make your life easier). Once again, we also invite you to contact your municipality and the local event organizing committee... ask them the question and listen to what they have to say... If word of mouth proves unsuccessful, which is possible after all, then use the internet and take a look around various professional reference sites like StarOfService. You will find lists of professionals who operate in your region or on a national scale, as well as reviews and comments from customers who have used their services, which provides valuable information. We highly recommend that you take the time to go through these reviews and comments carefully, as they can be very useful in deciding on the right professional. A comedy show that receives good ratings, positive reviews, and comments is a show that is a hit and pleases the audience, so don't hesitate to go for it! Once you have found the right show, make sure to check the options and possibilities available to you, ensure that the prices correspond to what you have planned, or are willing to pay, and clearly state the deadlines you would like to respect regarding the event and payment.
