COMEDY SHOW

Introduction

The main focus was on the stage set up and the sound system. Bodwin et al (2011) illustrate that the term ‘staging’ originates from the performance of plays at the theater. It refers to bringing together all the elements of a theatrical production for its presentation on a stage. According to the Fender Musical Instruments Corporations (2009) your sound system is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is a vital part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention to detail. The sound was very clear and everyone seemed to hear and understand what the comedians were saying. Stilling (2002) illustrate that you have to notify the sound designer of how many headsets will be needed and where to be placed.

Stage setup

A stage at an event is rarely the same as the theatrical stage complete with the proscenium playful and auditorium. It can range from the back of a truck to a barge in a harbour. It is important to note that in event management, the term stage can also be applied to the general staging area not just to a purpose –built stage. Bodwin et al (2011). The built up stage was the one which was used at the comedy show and it was big enough for the performers to move freely without trapping the sound cables. The staging lights were also suitable for the event because everyone could see at the stage clearly.
