Booking The Best Entertainment for New Year’s Eve – what suits your party?

 

  • Immersive comedy dining show with dancing

Our character actors are your hosts who guide you through our immersive storylines with hilarious results. We can fly you around the world on our immersive ‘airline’ and party all over the world with acts representing each city we land in. You can enter our musical time machine as we whizz through the decades to re-enact the greatest music videos of all time. Enter our secret 1920s Speakeasy or run away to join the circus. Anything is possible!

All of our immersive shows culminate in a dance party with all of the cast.

 

  • Glamorous Cabaret Event

A truly glamorous affair for a dressy crowd with cocktails in hand! Cabaret is a timeless art form. Powerhouse singing hosts introduce the audience to the very best variety acts from the realm of circus, musical theatre and cabaret. The audience just never know who’s coming to the stage next. Of course, a midnight extravaganza featuring the whole cast is a must!

 

  • Vintage Burlesque Show

There is nothing like this fantastic, glittery cocktail of entertainment and cheeky fun. A dazzling blend of theatrical performance, dance, and comedy, all wrapped up in a glamorous package. With elaborate, vintage-inspired costumes Burlesque is a beautiful spectacle. The vibe is playful and flirty, with a lot of humour and a sprinkle of sauciness thrown in for good measure.

Of course, it’s important to remember that the boys are on board now too, so don’t forget to ask for ‘Boylesque’ performers to be included in your fabulous line-up.

 

  • Themed Parties

Guests love a theme party on New Year’s Eve with the chance to dress in themed costumes and really let their hair down. See our SHOWS PAGE for full info on our ready-made themed shows. Of course, we are happy to write and choreograph something unique that’s just for you!

Our most popular themes are Great Gatsby, Circus – The Greatest Show, The Tropical Tiki Beach Party, Viva Las Vegas, Moulin Rouge, The Superfly Seventies Show, Rockstars & Popstars, Cocktails at the North Pole, A Night of Burlesque.

 

  • A DJ-led club event with pop-up and walkabout entertainment.

Enhance your dance party, club night or festival-style event with our eclectic range of performers. Stilt walkers, freestyle dancers, bubble performers, glowing LED and stunning fire acts, cutting-edge contortionists, acrobats and aerialists. None of our acts will interrupt the music and in fact, they are creatively curated to embellish the DJ’s set, building to an explosive countdown at midnight.

 

Building excitement towards midnight

We carefully ensure that entertainment builds up to an energetic crescendo as midnight approaches.

The countdown to midnight is a moment of anticipation and excitement. We can plan an unforgettable countdown experience, complete with visuals, music, confetti drops, indoor pyrotechnics and more.

 

Transforming the Venue with Decor

Thematic decorations are the key to transforming any space. Incorporate New Year’s Eve motifs, sparkling lights, and elegant centrepieces to create a visually stunning environment. We have friends in the industry with years of decor experience and props in every theme.

 

FAQ – frequently asked questions about booking the best entertainment for New Year’s Eve

 

  • How soon should I book entertainment?

Book Early: The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the showstopper. Popular acts get snatched up faster than you can say “Auld Lang Syne,” so don’t procrastinate. Secure your entertainment well in advance.

 

  • What do I need to know about budgeting for New Year’s Eve entertainment?

It is standard practice for performers to charge double fees on New Year’s Eve. However, this is usually covered by a higher ticket price or entry price for venues. Attendees do expect to pay more for New Year’s Eve.

 

  • How do I lock in my entertainment?

We will always issue clear and easy-to-understand contracts and riders to secure your booking. It’s always important to read the fine print. Ensure you understand the terms of the contract and any rider requirements. This includes things like space requirements, technical needs, and even backstage snacks for the performers.

 

  • It’s a long night, how do I keep guests’ energy levels high?

We always make sure the way we schedule your entertainment builds excitement levels and engagement as the night moves towards midnight. If you have booked a dining show we ensure there are enough intervals for guests to vape, visit the washrooms and recharge their glasses.

It’s a good idea to keep your guests fortified with after-midnight snacks. Whether it’s sweet or savoury, ensure there’s something to satisfy every craving. Lounge areas where guests can catch their breath before they return to the dancefloor are always popular.

  • How do I get people talking about my event after the night?

Make your party Instagram-worthy by incorporating interactive social media elements, props and themed photo frame areas. This will encourage guests to share their favourite moments online.

 

  • How do I ensure a safe and enjoyable environment?

Safety is paramount. Implement measures such as licensed security guards, monitored entrances, and first aid stations to ensure everyone’s well-being.

 

Reflecting on the party and gathering feedback

After the festivities, take time to evaluate the event’s success. Gather feedback from guests to inspire your future celebrations.
