Each type of entertainment or workshop has its own standard fee (plus travel where applicable). It is important to know what you have budgeted for entertainment, so that we can come up with a show to meet your budget and needs. Other things to consider are length of show, travel time, number of shows in a day, and the need for sound equipment, background music, backdrops, number of stage props, and size of audience.
