Discover What These Companies Already Know!

Most holiday parties peak at the buffet
People arrive, find the two coworkers they already know, eat, and start checking their phones around the time dessert comes out. The bar is open, the room is decorated, and somehow the whole thing still feels like a longer lunch.
That's not a catering problem. It's what happens when a hundred people are put in a room with nothing to point at together. The right entertainment gives them that — something that happens to the room, that people are still arguing about on Monday.
Two ways to run your company holiday party
Mingle Mind Reading
I work the room during cocktails — small groups of four to eight at a time, no stage, no introduction needed. It breaks up the cliques, because people pull their coworkers over to see the thing that just happened to them.
Best for · Cocktail hour
Typical length · 60–180 minutes
You need · Nothing
Comedy Mentalism Show
A seated set built around your people — the whole room at once, with your team on their feet as part of it. It gives the night a centerpiece, and it gives whoever is running the program a clean place to land.
Best for · After dinner
Typical length · 45–60 minutes
You need · A crowd ready for fun
Why most clients book both
A holiday party has two problems, and they show up at different points in the night. Arrival is the first — people trickle in, find the two coworkers they already know, and hold that spot until dinner. Mingling fixes that hour. The second is the stretch after dinner, when everyone's seated and fed and the night either goes somewhere or it goes to the parking lot. That's what the show is for.
But booking both isn't just more entertainment — it makes the show better. By the time I'm up front, a good chunk of the room has already had something happen to them personally, so they're not watching a stranger. And I can call back to what happened during cocktails: the guy from finance who wouldn't stop trying to stump me, the number your CFO was thinking of. That's what makes it visibly your party and not a set I do everywhere.
Cocktails plant it. Dinner spreads it. By the time I'm up front, nobody's watching a stranger do tricks — they're watching the guy who got them an hour ago. That's a completely different room to play to. If your night runs past two hours, book both.
Tom was great! He added so much fun to our holiday party and everyone really enjoyed having him perform. Our holiday party was a dinner with about 70 people. I asked Tom to join people at their tables rather than do a "show." He has such a wonderfully warm personality and was so well received by all. He's on my list for future events for sure! Tom is fun, has a quick wit, and overall is AWESOME!

The amazing Tom Kennedy performed at our holiday party, and he was absolutely astonishing! The experience was truly unbelievable...we’re still trying to figure out how any of it was possible. Tom was incredibly engaging and funny, keeping the energy high and entertaining the crowd in small groups throughout the night. What impressed us most was that he had a new trick or unique engagement for each group. Some were so mind-blowing that we asked him to repeat them for others because they were truly unbelievable! Every interaction was fascinating and left us in awe. If you’re looking for something unique, interactive, and mind-blowing for your event, I highly recommend Tom Kennedy!

Tom, The Other Mentalist performed at my company's holiday party last year. He was nice, fun, and outgoing. He walked around the hall, engaged with the company staff. He did a 30-minute show, that featured some amazing tricks. It was so so much fun! My staff enjoyed him and he was a wonderful part of the evening. Thank you, Tom Kennedy
