Comedy and Comedians


By Rodger Jackman

We have all heard about “laugher being the best medicine”. It is so very true. A laugh is welcome anytime. Laughter can do wonders. It helps us forget all our worries even if it is for just a fleeting moment. Laughter brought about by comedy may be something you have read, heard or seen can be really infectious. A tense situation can be altered with a few funny lines. There is possibly nobody on the planet that doesn’t enjoy a good laugh. A good comedy film and comic television shows are well appreciated by a large audience. In the earlier days you would find a place for live comedy only at hotels or bars where a comedian would perform to entertain the guest. But today things are very different. Comedians today are in great demand; you can find a comic act as part of a fun fair, in bars, on television shows, movies, private parties, festivals and even at corporate gatherings.

Comedy and comedians have come a long way. Comedy today is serious business. Comedians are a much sought after community today. Since comedy is enjoyed by both kids and adults it gives it the added advantage of being an integral part of any sort of gathering. Today comedians do not perform just at one particular place regularly. They offer their services in a very professional manner. There are large agencies which recruit comedians and then get sufficient business for them at various events. Comedians who are part of agencies find enough work from time to time. It is important for them to hone their skills since the field has become very competitive. There are dime a dozen comedians today but the one who is most liked would be the one who can carry the audience with him. A comedy act does not necessarily mean a stand-up comedian but a little bit of juggling and magic would only enhance the act.

Now when you plan an event be it big or small it is essential to have some kind of programs to entertain the guests. A comic act would be the one that would be the most suitable as it would be appreciated by everyone. Having a comedian do the part of the MC would add to the humor and the event is sure to be a success. The biggest hurdle is to find a good artist but this can be overcome by approaching an agency. Comedians today are part of agencies that get work for them. Contacting an agency of repute would solve the problem. It is best to plan the entire event well in advance so that you do not have to settle for second best. Comedy is of different types like mime or impersonations. There are both men and women in the business of comedy today. You can make your requirements known to the agency and can go in for a comedian of your choice. The guests are sure to enjoy every bit of the show and the event would be remembered for a long time.
