FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) Q. What are the best entertainment ideas for a post-prom or graduation lock-in? A. The best post-prom and graduation lock-in entertainment combines interactive attractions, live entertainment, and hands-on activities that keep students engaged throughout the entire night. At G.L. Berg Entertainment, we help schools create memorable all-night experiences by blending crowd-favorite attractions such as comedy hypnotists, magicians, laser tag, inflatable games, photo booths, caricature artists, game shows, casino-style activities, and other high-energy experiences. Because students have diverse interests, the most successful lock-ins offer multiple entertainment zones that allow everyone to participate, compete, socialize, and create lasting memories. Our team has helped schools throughout the Midwest build customized entertainment packages designed specifically for post-proms, senior celebrations, and overnight lock-ins. Q. How far in advance should we book entertainment for a post-prom or senior graduation party? A. We recommend booking post-prom and graduation entertainment 8-12 months in advance to secure the best talent and attractions. The most popular hypnotists, magicians, inflatable attractions, and specialty entertainers often receive bookings well before spring graduation season arrives. Early planning gives your committee access to the widest selection, better scheduling flexibility, and more time to coordinate logistics. It also allows your school to begin promoting exciting attractions to students, helping increase participation and event attendance. You are welcome to reach out in the months leading up to your event, and we will do our best to support your request. Q. Why should our school use an entertainment agency instead of booking vendors directly? A. Using a professional entertainment agency simplifies planning and gives your school a single, trusted source for all event entertainment. Instead of contacting multiple performers and vendors individually, G.L. Berg Entertainment coordinates everything through one dedicated point of contact. We help save time for schools and parent volunteers by managing talent recommendations, contracting, scheduling, logistics, and communication. Our team thoroughly vets performers and activity providers, ensuring every attraction meets professional standards while delivering a seamless planning experience for busy volunteers, parent committees, and administrators. Q. What entertainment works best for keeping students engaged all night long? A. The most successful all-night events combine entertainment that is interactive, competitive, and continuously available. Students naturally cycle between activities throughout the evening, so we typically recommend a mix of headline entertainment and ongoing attractions. A comedy hypnosis show or magician helps create a shared experience for the entire group, while trivia competitions, inflatables, photo booths, digital caricatures, novelty artists, and social-sharing experiences keep students engaged during the hours before or after the main performance. This variety helps maintain energy levels and reduces downtime throughout the event. Q. Are your entertainers appropriate for high school students? A. Yes, all entertainment recommended for post-prom and graduation events are selected to be age-appropriate, school-friendly, and audience-tested. Schools trust G.L. Berg Entertainment because we understand the unique requirements of educational environments. Our performers regularly appear at high schools, colleges, festivals, fairs, and community events, and they know how to engage large student audiences without crossing lines that make administrators or parents uncomfortable. We prioritize clean humor, positive interaction, and professional conduct at every event. Q. Can you help us create a lock-in event that fits our budget? A. Yes, we specialize in building customized entertainment packages for schools with a wide range of budgets. Whether your committee is planning a modest overnight celebration or a large-scale senior event, we can recommend attractions that maximize participation and value. Our extensive network of performers and activity providers allows us to present multiple options at different price points. We help schools prioritize their entertainment investments while creating an exciting experience that students will remember long after graduation. Q. What are the most popular post-prom and graduation attractions right now? A. Comedy hypnosis shows, photo experiences, inflatable attractions, and interactive social activities are among the most requested lock-in experiences. Students consistently gravitate toward entertainment that creates memorable moments they can share with friends. Comedy hypnotists generate school-wide excitement, while photo booths, caricatures, and social-sharing experiences produce personalized keepsakes. Interactive games and attractions encourage participation and friendly competition, making them excellent additions to overnight events. G.L. Berg Entertainment continually monitors event trends to help schools choose attractions that resonate with today's students. Q. Can G.L. Berg Entertainment provide all of the entertainment for our lock-in event? A. Yes – G.L. Berg Entertainment can serve as a one-stop entertainment partner for your entire post-prom or graduation celebration. We can coordinate headline performers, interactive attractions, novelty experiences, games, activities, photo experiences, artists, and specialty entertainment through a single planning process. This streamlined approach reduces administrative work and helps ensure all entertainment components work together to create a cohesive event experience. Schools and parents appreciate having one experienced partner overseeing every aspect of entertainment rather than managing numerous separate vendors. Q. What makes G.L. Berg Entertainment different from other entertainment providers? A. G.L. Berg Entertainment combines decades of entertainment-industry expertise with one of the Midwest's most diverse networks of proven event talent and attractions. Our team works closely with schools to understand their goals, audience size, facility limitations, and budget requirements before recommending solutions. Unlike providers that offer only one attraction or performer, we curate complete event experiences. We focus on reliability, professionalism, audience engagement, and long-term relationships, helping schools create safe, fun, and memorable celebrations year after year. Q. How do we get started planning our school's post-prom or graduation lock-in? A. The easiest way to start planning is to contact our team with your event date, estimated attendance, venue details, and budget goals. From there, we develop customized entertainment recommendations based on your school's vision and objectives. Our team can suggest attraction combinations, identify crowd favorites, estimate space requirements, and build an entertainment package tailored specifically to your event. There is no pressure—just experienced guidance from professionals who have helped schools create successful post-prom and graduation celebrations for years.

Berg Entertainment actively facilitates block booking and co-routing opportunities to secure significant talent cost reductions for regional theater consortiums and adjacent venues.

In advance of the engagement, our artists provide curriculum-aligned study guides and educational materials to deepen student engagement before they enter the theater. We can provide documentation of educational content on request to support grant applications. Q: What is the typical fee range for acts on G.L. Berg's PAC roster? A: Performance fees vary widely depending on the act, production scale, and routing logistics. Many acts on our PAC roster are accessible for small-to-mid-sized venues in the $2,500–$15,000 range, while larger theatrical productions and nationally recognized acts may range higher. We are transparent about fees from the first conversation and will never recommend an act that doesn't fit your budget parameters. Contact us with your available date and budget range and we'll identify realistic options. Q: How far in advance should a performing arts center book entertainment for its season? A: For season programming, we recommend beginning conversations 9 to 18 months in advance, particularly for touring productions with limited routing availability. Single-date bookings can sometimes be arranged on shorter timelines of 60 to 90 days depending on the act. Reaching out early gives you the widest selection and the best opportunity to secure co-routing savings with nearby venues. Q: Can G.L. Berg Entertainment help a smaller performing arts center or community theater with a limited budget? A: Yes. Not every venue on our list is a 1,500-seat hall with a six-figure season budget. We regularly work with community theaters, smaller PACs, and presenter series with modest budgets. Our block-booking and co-routing programs are specifically designed to make quality touring entertainment financially accessible for smaller venues. Tell us your budget — we'll tell you honestly what's possible. Q: Does G.L. Berg Entertainment work with presenter networks or arts councils? A: Yes. G.L.

Berg Entertainment, and how long have they been booking fair and festival entertainment? A: G.L. Berg Entertainment is a Minneapolis-based talent and entertainment booking agency founded in 1989. With over 37 years in the industry, we specialize in connecting fairs, festivals, and special events with professional entertainers across the Midwest and beyond. Our Fairs & Festivals division has been a core part of our business since the very beginning. We are members of state and regional fair associations throughout the country including the International Association of Fairs & Expositions (IAFE), Rocky Mountain Association of Fairs (RMAF), Heartland Association of Fairs, Festivals and Events (HAFFE), Minnesota Federation of County Fairs, Wisconsin Association of Fairs, among several others. Q: What types of entertainment does G.L. Berg Entertainment book for fairs and festivals? A: We book a wide range of family-friendly entertainment including free-stage variety acts (including acts such as Kenny Ahern, Jerry Frasier, HypnoFX, Jared Sherlock, Duelly Noted dueling pianos), comedy performers, jugglers, magicians, circus performers, strolling acts (including The Bubbler), children's entertainers (including The Dollipops and The Bubbler), bands (including The Memories, Renegade, Coyote Wild, Uncle Muskrat, and others), tribute shows (including acts such as Tribute to the Troops, The Britins, , and country music acts. We also assist with grandstand entertainment, including nationally-recognized touring artists. Whether you need a full day of free-stage programming or a single headliner for your grandstand, we can help. Q: What states and regions does G.L. Berg Entertainment serve for fair and festival bookings? A: We primarily serve the Midwest, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri, Wyoming, Montana, and surrounding states. However, our roster of performers travel nationally and we have worked with major events including the Wisconsin State Fair, Minnesota State Fair, Iowa State Fair, North Dakota State Fair, South Dakota State Fair, Missouri State Fair, Colorado State Fair, Eastern Idaho State Fair, State Fair of Texas, Arizona State Fair, Utah State Fair, and Florida State Fair, among many others. Q: How does the entertainment booking process work with G.L. Berg, and is there a fee to get started? A: There is no fee or obligation to explore your options with us. Simply fill out our interest form or call us, and one of our talent consultants will reach out to learn about your event, your audience, and your budget. We then present you with curated entertainment options that fit your needs. Once you select a performer, we handle all contracting and logistics to make the process as smooth as possible. Our fees are built into the total artist fee quoted to you. We are very customer-service oriented and try to respond to inquiries within one business day. Q: Can G.L. Berg Entertainment help with both free-stage entertainment and grandstand acts? A: Yes. Free-stage entertainment is a core specialty of ours — we represent dozens of professional variety performers, comedy acts, musicians, and specialty entertainers who are proven crowd-drawers for open-air fair stages. Depending on availability, we can also provide a self-contained stage that can be shared with other acts. For grandstand entertainment, we can assist in multiple roles: from negotiating and contracting with nationally-recognized touring artists, to providing on-site production assistance to ensure your grandstand event runs smoothly. This can include stage management coordination, sound and lighting vendor recommendations, coordination and consulting for security, hospitality, catering, and other services, and day-of artist liaison services. Q: How does G.L. Berg ensure that the entertainment is appropriate for a family fair audience? A: Family-friendly programming is a requirement, not an afterthought. Every entertainer in our fair and festival roster is vetted to deliver a positive, crowd-pleasing experience suitable for all ages. We look for performers who can engage children, parents, and grandparents alike — whether it's a physical comedian, an interactive juggler, a children's music show, or a classic rock tribute band. Our goal is entertainment that draws a crowd and keeps them smiling. We will never book an act for your fair’s free stage without first confirming that their material is appropriate for an all-ages audience. Q: Does G.L. Berg book strolling and street performers for fairs and festivals? A: Absolutely — strolling and street acts are one of our specialties. These performers create intimate, up-close entertainment experiences that happen just feet from the audience, drawing crowds throughout the fairgrounds rather than anchoring them to a single stage. From comic jugglers and magicians to circus performers and interactive characters, our strolling acts are ideal for filling programming gaps and enhancing the overall atmosphere of your event. Strolling/Street performers do not require a stage and have a minimal setup. Most strolling/street performers provide their own portable sound systems that travel with them on the fairgrounds. Q: What fairs and festivals has G.L. Berg Entertainment worked with? A: Over more than three decades, we have worked with hundreds of county fairs, state fairs, and city festivals across the country. On a national level, clients have included the Wisconsin State Fair, Minnesota State Fair, Iowa State Fair, North Dakota State Fair, South Dakota State Fair, Missouri State Fair, Colorado State Fair, Eastern Idaho State Fair, State Fair of Texas, Arizona State Fair, Utah State Fair, and Florida State Fair. We also regularly serve smaller county and regional fairs throughout the country including notable fairs as: Clay County Fair (Spencer, IA), Porter County Fair (Valparaiso, IN), Steele County Fair (Owatonna, MN), Alameda County Fair (Pleasanton, CA), Brown County Fair (Aberdeen, SD), Dunn County Fair (Menomonie, WI), and countless more! Cool fact: We’ve helped provide entertainment at the Minnesota State Fair for over 40 years – yes, prior to our company’s formation! We treat every client, large or small, with the same level of personal attention and service. Q: Why should a fair or festival use a booking agency like G.L. Berg instead of booking talent directly? A: Working with an experienced booking agency saves you time, reduces risk, and gives you access to a curated roster of proven performers you might never find on your own. We handle the negotiation, contracting, logistics, and follow-through so you can focus on running your event. We also know which acts are the right fit for fair audiences — not every talented performer translates well to an outdoor free stage. Our 35+ years of experience means fewer surprises and better outcomes for your event. Common issues when booking talent directly include performers who don’t communicate well, maybe aren’t properly insured, incomplete contracts that may not account for weather situations, or simply an act that looks great on video but has no practical experience working with a fair audience. But, you don’t have to worry about those situations when booking through G.L. Berg Entertainment. All of the artists & acts we represent are thoroughly vetted by our experienced staff.
