Always Nice To Hear Compliments On My Hypnosis Show

Here’s a nice compliment from a person who booked Rusty Z to do a high school post-grad comedy hypnosis show:

Company Parties? No Entertainment Surprise Packages, Please!

When planning a company party it’s sometimes tempting to keep the entertainment (or type of entertainment) a secret and surprise the guests at party time.

When your guests are adults, that’s usually not a good idea.

Adults generally want to know in advance what to expect. That’s why they want to know where the event is being held, what dishes are being offered for dinner (or what will be on the buffet table) and approximately how long the gala will last. Most people wouldn’t be pleased at being blindfolded and whisked off to some remote location, served a dinner that maybe didn’t agree with them and then told that the only bus back to town was at 4:00 a.m. Why should entertainment be any different? Adults like agendas; they like to know in advance what’s going on.

The other reason not to spring surprise entertainment on your guests is that even for grown-ups, expectation is exciting. I know that when I have concert tickets or airline tickets to a vacation destination or even a reservation at my favorite restaurant, I get more atwitter as the occasion nears.

But what if you’re unsure of the entertainment you’ve chosen? What if you have doubts that your guests will like what you’ve chosen? Again, it’s a good idea to share with the group what type of entertainment to expect. That way they’ll have time to either get used to the idea (which happens often, especially with a comedy act, hypnosis show or any other variety entertainment) or to get more information from you, the party planner, on what to expect.

When company party planning time comes around (and it’s closer than you think), remember, you wouldn’t keep a secret when it comes to menu or venue. Keeping entertainment a secret is, more often than not, a miscue.
