The act
Your wedding reception could have a lively, comic edge with Ty Gray, an MC and comedian whose original material explores relationships, family, travel and everyday life. He guides audiences through an evening's proceedings, lifting the energy and introducing the people addressing your guests, an approach worth considering if you want humour around the formal moments. His comedy also draws on school, careers and partying, so the topics give you a useful starting point when considering the kind of humour you want for your guests. He has toured teacher related comedy shows for more than three years at festivals around the world, bringing that performance experience to his work in front of audiences.

Good to know
What to expect
Three separate jobs, and Ty Gray does all of them. The comedy is original material about travel, school, careers, relationships, partying and family, written rather than borrowed. As an MC he steers the night through its running order, lifts the energy between items and hands over cleanly to a keynote speaker or a raffle. And the trivia is built from scratch in consultation with whoever is organising, with questions about your own staff and on whatever topics you nominate. Which of the three you get depends entirely on what you're planning.
On the day
For comedy, lighting is the thing that gets overlooked. A comic needs the room to actually see him, so decent lighting matters more than any other piece of kit. He can bring a microphone and PA himself. For trivia, a projector or television screen makes the audio-visual rounds possible, though he'll work around it if the venue hasn't got one.
Performance options
Three formats. The line-up show brings four other comedians in to perform while Ty hosts, running one to two hours, which suits a pub night, a corporate social or a birthday for the right person. The tailor-made trivia night is a two hour build, put together with your event organiser for a sporting club, social club or workplace, with audio-visual rounds if the venue can handle them. And there's an hour-long comedy show drawn from teacher-related material he's toured to festivals for over three years, covering life in the classroom and out of it.
