Overview

The Comedy Show-waiters were established in 1985 and 25 years of experience traveling the highways of Europe, performing for Kings and Presidents, Sports Stars, CEOs and tens of thousands of quite ordinary European citizens has made us the top of our trade.

The show is a sophisticated and spiffingly hilarious combination of improvised interaction with the guests and top grade stage performance (no actual stage needed).

Under the strict supervision of the Maitre d, who is eagerly attempting to restore a forgotten era of proper manners, the Staff do their best to fulfill their duties as waiters. However, as the old saying goes: no one is obliged beyond their ability.

Mere photos of the team in action are inadequate, so here in all their glory, are the ladies and gentlemen in action, but first a few words from their fans;
The show lasts one hour while the guests eat, drink, talk and laugh. It is the perfect entertainment for receptions, dinners, functions and parties. And rest assured full cooperation with the chef and catering team is always maintained.

and our guests have included among others:
Peter Schmeichel
Wimbledon Champion Stefan Edberg
All England Champion Camilla Martin

Many thanks for sending the guys over! They were great, and definitely something very different. Everyone had a really good laugh and the clients loosened up a little!

Thanks for all your help in preparation to the event. We must definitely have comedy waiters again - my boss loved it!

Superbly innovative and thoroughly engrossing entertainment. Peter Gilham Head of Communications & Events Brentford Football Club

My wife has never been abused so entertainingly as she was by the Showwaiters. After having myself served as one of these waiters for hire for one night, I have become secretly infatuated with Miss Svennevig. With waiterly greetings, Jan Stenberg, Managing Director, SAS

The event was absolutely fantastic, Mr Foster and his team were absolutely hilarious. We all loved the ?Walk On? song that they did for Steven Walker - really clever! Once again ... many, many thanks.Fiona Cameron, Interim PA to the Managing Director, Cool Milk Ltd.

What an enjoyable night... Everybody was delighted with your hilarious show. Johanna Sanabria Manager Cancer Research UK

We had an excellent night on Sunday and your team were fantastic, I received many comments from the guests about the quality of the performance and great twist that they put on the evening. Toya Smith Executive Assistant to the Chairman Brook Hotel

Many thanks for an unforgettable evening, after which it has taken us several days to regain our straight faces. EVERYONE has come to me with so many superlatives that there certainly isn't room to fit them all on this card and so I just want to say THANK YOU.Lene Carlson, Wagonlit

We would like to thank you for an outstanding bit of entertainment. Before the event we were naturally rather apprehensive about how such entertainment would be viewed by our conference delegates and, to be completely honest, we were more than a little worried ourselves. As you will hopefully have noticed it was undoubtedly a great success which raised the whole event a notch or two... Thank you once more for an incredibly professional and well-balanced performance which we all enjoyed enormously.Paul Halvorsen, The VW Group

It is intelligent and personalised entertainment, which you take to instantly! Martin Helberg, Twinsoft Ltd.

Big thanks for a great show. All of the feed back from our customers has been positive and we at NOKIA were, and continue to be, very happy with your contribution. Beyond a shadow of a doubt you get our recommendation.Mads Winblad,CEO,NOKIA

I want to thank you for your wonderful performance at the Globe's kick-off party. I have certainly never seen our staff laughing so raucously. I myself suffered stomach cramps and aching cheeks from laughing so hard.Monika Larsson, AB Stockholm Globe Arena

Just to let you know the Showwaiters were fantastic! They helped to make a fabulous party - please let them know how terrific everyone thought they were. Regards, Ferdi Mr. Ferdi Lerner, 70th birthday party at the Hyatt Regency Hotel

Thank you for a FANTASTICALLY good performance (as always!).Charlotte Christiansen,GSC,LEGO

A better ice breaker for a networking evening would be hard to find. Hildegunn Andersen Marketing Manager Norwegian-British Chamber of Commerce

On behalf of the EEC Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy, I would like to express our gratitude for the Showwaiters' participation and performance. The reactions from all of the different nationalities have been very positive and it is amazing that your sense of humour can be so well understood across cultural boundaries. Ole Sondergaard, JRC Italy

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date. Weekends, especially in summer, can book up 12 months or more ahead, so the earlier you secure Comedy Waiters, the better. We can sometimes help at a few weeks' notice too, so it's always worth asking.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A £250 reservation fee secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the event. If you cancel more than three months before, you only lose the reservation fee. Charges then rise on a sliding scale, and the full amount is due within one month of the date. Your booking agreement sets out the exact terms.

What if the timings change after we book?

That's fine. Plans often change as the day gets closer. Just let the Hireaband team know, and we'll check the new timings with Comedy Waiters and update your booking. If you'd like to add more performance time or another act later on, we can arrange that too.

What should we expect if we've never booked an act through Hireaband before?

We'll guide you from your first enquiry to the day itself. You'll get a written booking agreement, a clear quote and a named contact. Hireaband is free to use, and with the Hireaband Price Promise you'll never pay more for an act than by booking anywhere else.

How much contact will we have with the act before the event?

We'll put you in touch with Comedy Waiters around three months before your date, so you can go through timings, music choices and any special requests together. Until then, the Hireaband team are on hand to answer any questions.

Can we see the act perform before booking?

Most performances are at private events, so it isn't always possible to see an act live. The videos, audio and client reviews on this page are the best way to get a feel for Comedy Waiters. If you'd like to know more, the Hireaband team are happy to talk it through with you.

How far will you travel?

Many of our acts perform across the UK. Any quote you receive already includes travel, so there are no surprise extras. For longer journeys an overnight stay may be needed, and we'll tell you before you book.

Are you insured?

If your venue asks for public liability insurance or electrical safety (PAT) certificates, let the Hireaband team know. We'll get the paperwork from Comedy Waiters and send it to your venue.

Will we need to provide anything on the day?

This depends on the act and how long they're with you. Some need a space to get ready, parking, or a meal if they're with you for several hours. We'll confirm Comedy Waiters's requirements with you before the day, so there are no surprises.

What happens if the performer is ill on the day?

It's very rare, but if it happens we'll find a suitable replacement. Hireaband is one of the UK's largest entertainment agencies, with hundreds of acts on our books, so we can usually cover your event even at short notice.
