Here are our top 50 amazing virtual entertainment ideas for your conference, corporate event, birthday party, celebration, awards ceremony or Christmas party.

In 2020 the world changed. Coronavirus that entertainers, performers, artists, cocktail makers, Emcees and stand up comedians were suddenly out of work. Together they quickly adapted to a new way of sharing their skills and craft – virtually. After a few months of hesitation virtual entertainment has become a mainstay for most parties, celebrations and corporate events. With the advent of online performances, people who weren’t in the entertainment or performance field now had a opportunity to share their talents with the world.

Not only is there performers, entertainers and hosts who have been working at live events for years, there has been a massive upsurge in people who now have an opportunity to share their skills with the world in terms of virtual entertainment. With so many incredible, fun and engaging virtual entertainment ideas out there, we decided to compile 50 of the best.

So without further ado, let’s get into the virtual entertainment acts you can hire and virtual experiences you can have:

 

1. Virtual Magic Show

If you are looking for something that will leave your guests laughing in amazement and offer a highly interactive experience where they will experience things they have never experienced before, then a virtual magic show is the perfect solution. Shows range in length from performer to performer. Some performers offer shows of just 20 minutes in length whilst others perform for 35-40 minutes. If you are looking for a longer show then some performers also perform for 1 hour. Show can be tailored to your corporate event or private party and are great fun.

You can search online for a Zoom Magician or Online Magic show. Prices vary from performer to performer and is often based on the length of the show. Many magicians who are offering Virtual Magic Shows are usually live performers so should have reviews to support their showreel.

 

 

2. Virtual Cooking Class

Who doesn’t love to eat? Many of us love to eat but not all of us are Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver in the kitchen although many of us aspire to have those skills. It’s no wonder that online cooking shows are so popular. Now is the perfect time to invite a professional chef into your home virtually. Similar to a professional magician, a professional chef has had to adapt to the current climate and are now offering virtual cooking classes. Pour a wine, buy the suggested ingredients and turn on the oven.

These events are really good fun and at the end you’ll be able to enjoy the spoils of your efforts in the form of a delicious meal. Virtual cooking classes give you the chance to get expert advice and guidance from a professional, who is usually confined to walls of their kitchen.

3. Online Baking Class

You will get posted out a couple of wine sample bottle (usually 3) and a wine expert or Sommelier will walk you through the tastes as flavors of each wine.  This is a really insightful experience and something we never seem to stop and take part in. It’s great fun and if you don’t follow the rules and spit the wine out, some of your colleagues or friends will soon get a little tipsy. The wine samples are often quite small so some organizers send out 3 or 5 sachets of wine to each person. This obviously increases the prices and the drunkenness’ too.

50. Zoom Improv / Open Mic

Last but by certainly no mean least is the Zoom improv or open mic night. Everyone gets 5 minutes to sing a song, tell some jokes, a story, doing some miming, recite some poetry or play a piece of music. This is a great way to learn more about your friends or colleagues as well as no doubt uncover an amazing skill that someone has. You may even find that a few of you have the same passion as someone else in your group and is a great way to bear a little bit of your soul to your friends or colleagues. That’s not to say it wouldn’t be nerve wracking, but it will certainly be fun!

This is a low budget option and all you need to do is send out a zoom invitation and then log in and deliver your piece. You could even make it into a gala show where people score one another or use the anonymous polling on Zoom to find a winner for the big finale.

So that is a fairly comprehensive collection of some of the most amazing virtual entertainment ideas that you can choose from to inject into your virtual meeting, Zoom meet up, virtual conference, online party or celebration. You may have some extra questions, so here are a few of the most commonly asked questions, answered.
