Booking worldwide since 2012
Entertainer is a full-service entertainment agency. We source, negotiate and produce live entertainment for festivals, brands, venues and private clients — from a single headliner to a full stage build, handled end to end.
What we do
Booking is where it starts. Most clients hand us the date and the budget and take back a finished night.
Direct access to headliners, support acts and niche specialists. We handle offers, counter-offers, holds and contracts, and we tell you early when a name is out of reach.
Stage, sound, light, video and crew, specified against the rider rather than a catalogue. One production manager owns the build from truck call to strike.
Day-to-day representation for artists on our roster: routing, fee strategy, press, and the unglamorous admin that keeps a career moving.
Matching artists to brands without either side losing credibility. We negotiate usage, term and territory, and we say no to the ones that would not work.
Visas, carnets, freight, flights, ground and hotels. The paperwork that stops a tour is booked before it can.
Weddings, anniversaries, launches and after-parties, run with the same contracts and the same discretion as a festival main stage.
The list
Tell us the room, the crowd and the budget, and three names that fit come back the same day. The rest of the list stays out of your inbox.
From warm-up to headline, including live hybrid sets with hardware and vocals.
Chart-familiar acts and covers ensembles for audiences who want to sing along.
Dinner-length sets through to late dance floors, with horn sections on request.
Regional groups and dancers for cultural programmes and national days.
Stand-up, improvised hosting and awards compères who keep a running order on time.
Projection artists, dancers and installations for brand spaces and after-parties.
Selected work
Three nights that show the range: an outdoor festival, a routed tour and a black-tie room.
Festival · two stages
Programmed both stages, booked the headliner eleven weeks out after the first choice pulled, and rebuilt the running order without moving the curfew.
Tour · nine cities
Routed nine dates across five countries, carried the carnet and the freight, and settled every venue inside the same week the tour ended.
Private · black tie
Orchestra, a headline vocalist and three speciality acts across one evening, under NDA, with a stage change that took four minutes.
Process
The same four steps whether it is one DJ or a three-day festival.
Date, room, capacity, audience and the number you can actually spend. Fifteen minutes on a call saves three weeks of quoting the wrong acts.
Three to five names with real fees and real availability, and a hold on the ones you like so nobody else takes the date while you decide.
Deal memo, rider, insurance and the advance schedule. Everything the artist needs is agreed in writing weeks before anyone loads in.
Our production manager is on site from truck call to strike, and the settlement lands in your inbox the same week.
Who we are
Entertainer was founded in 2012 by promoters and production managers, which is why our shortlists come with a technical note attached. We have loaded in at four in the morning often enough to know which riders are real and which are a wish list.
The team is intentionally under twenty people. Every client is handled by someone senior, because handing a booking to a junior is how dates get lost.
In their words
Questions
Still unsure? Email [email protected] — we answer every enquiry, including the ones we cannot take.
Often, yes — and where we cannot, we will say so on the first call instead of stringing it out. An honest no in week one is worth more than a maybe in week six.
Headliners for summer dates go six to nine months out. Corporate and private bookings work comfortably at eight to twelve weeks. Anything shorter is possible but costs more.
The artist fee, our handling, and whatever the deal memo lists. Travel, hospitality, production and local crew are itemised separately so you can see exactly what you are buying.
If you want us to. We reconcile the rider against the venue, tender the suppliers and put a production manager on site. Booking-only is also fine.
Usually fifty per cent on signature and the balance before the performance, though it varies by artist. It is always written into the deal memo before you commit.
Yes. We sign NDAs as a matter of routine for private clients and can invoice through a named entity without the event appearing anywhere.
Enquiries
City, date, capacity and a budget range are enough to get real names and real fees back.
A person reads every message. If we are not the right agency for your night, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
