What do you do when the hired entertainer is such a bomb or so inappropriate that you have to pull him from the stage? How can you avoid this happening to you?
At a recent sales meeting in Las Vegas this week, the comedian MC was pulled from the stage during the awards program for inappropriate speech and behavior. Not to mention that he was not prepared nor professionally fulfilling his duties. He couldn’t pronounce the company name correctly; he didn’t know anything about the company, its products or personnel and kept telling the audience that; he used swear words even though the client made that taboo, and despite repeated reminders on the teleprompter; the final straw was when he verbally abused an executive on stage, to the point that the executive returned verbal fire.
The microphones went dead, the stage lights went dark and a stage hand escorted the comedian from the stage. Music began to play and the overhead voice indicated that the awards show would resume shortly. What would you do at this point?
Check back next week to see what happened and who the comedian was, plus tips for hiring and prepping entertainers…….
