When working with an agency, you’ll be able to browse through a selection of all of the entertainers they have available. Rather than going it alone and attempting to navigate the wild west that is Google search on your own, you could opt to go through a college talent agency to find a college comedian. If you don’t have much experience with entertainment contracts, the process can be more than a little intimidating (not to mention time consuming). On top of this, you’ll be completely on your own when it comes to signing a contract with whichever college comedian you choose. That creates a lot of extra legwork on your end. In other words, you’ll need to reach out to each potential comedian individually to check on both their availability as well as their fee. For one thing, you won’t have any idea what their pricing structure is like from their website. There are a couple of significant disadvantages to trying to find a comedian this way. How popular are they? Do they have a ton of followers? Do people retweet their Twitter posts? What’s their demographic? Do college age students seem to like them, or do they appeal more to an older crowd? Once you’ve checked out a comedian’s act on their website, you’ll want to take a look at their social media presence, too. Going this route will give you the opportunity to browse through a ton of different comedians, all of whom will be at different stages in their career. Many comedians have fairly elaborate websites with plenty of video. If you’re not pressed for time as a campus activities board member, you could start by running searches for college comedians and scoping out individual entertainers. Here, we’ll look at three different ways to find and book a college comedian: via Google searches, a talent agency, and an online platform.

So, it’s important to get a real sense of what someone’s standup act is like before you sign a contract with them. There’s no question about it: we’ve all seen bad comedy, right? You don’t want to book someone for a student activities event who couldn’t get a single laugh at the local open mic night.
