How To Get Booked More Often as a Comedian or Speaker
Get Listed With as Many Speakers Bureaus and Entertainment Booking Agencies as You Can

Even if you are exclusive with an agency, make sure you encourage cooperation between your agent and all other agents. If your agency will not work with other bureaus or agencies, you will miss out on many events and shows. Why leave money on the table? Representation with many other agencies gives you more marketing and publicity and feeds more leads to the agency or bureau with which you have an exclusive agreement. The more people you have selling you, the more likely you are to get booked. Make sure your exclusive agent cooperates with other agencies, or they will sell their clients comedians and speakers that want the bookings!
- Help Entertainment Booking Agencies and Speakers Bureaus Sell You and Your Talents
You need high quality photographs. You also need a well written biography that includes your accomplishments and accolades, and why you would be a great stand up comedian or guest speaker for various audiences. It is also good to have a high quality video of you performing some of your stand-up comedy routine or your keynote speech. Keep the videos brief and let the bureaus and agencies use them to sell you. See good examples of profiles and biographies for stand up comedians.
