Private Buyout FAQs

Everything You Need to Know

What is the maximum capacity?

Halifax Live can accommodate up to 70-75 guests for a private buyout with comfortable seated arrangements. This capacity ensures everyone has excellent stage views and a premium event experience. For groups smaller than 40, we recommend our group booking packages rather than a full venue buyout.

Can we customize the show?

Absolutely! We work with you to select comedians that match your audience and event tone. Whether you need clean, corporate-friendly content for a workplace event or edgier material for a private celebration, we curate the lineup to fit your preferences. We can also incorporate custom messaging, shoutouts, and branded moments throughout the show.

Are private buyouts available on weekdays?

Yes! We offer flexible scheduling for private buyouts, including weekday evenings and select daytime options. Weekday availability is often ideal for corporate events, team offsites, and business-focused gatherings. Contact us to discuss your preferred date and we'll work to accommodate your schedule.

Can we bring signage or corporate branding?

Yes! We welcome corporate branding, signage, and event materials. You can place branded materials at the entrance, on tables, or near the stage. We'll work with you to integrate your branding seamlessly into the venue setup. For digital presentations or branded content on our screens, let us know in advance and we'll coordinate the technical setup.

Do you offer corporate invoicing?

Yes! We provide corporate invoicing for private venue buyouts. We can invoice your company directly, work with purchase orders, and provide all necessary receipts and documentation for expense reporting. Just provide your billing requirements when booking and we'll handle the administrative details.

Can we bring catering or order food?

We can discuss catering options for your private event. While we have a full bar on-site, we're flexible about external catering for larger events or specific dietary needs. Contact us to discuss your catering preferences and we'll work with you to create the right food and beverage experience for your guests.

How long is a private show?

A typical private comedy show runs 90-120 minutes, including multiple comedians and an MC. We can adjust the show length and format based on your event schedule. If you need time for presentations, awards, or networking before the show, we'll build that into your timeline. Our team works with you to create the perfect event flow.

Can we host awards or presentations before the show?

Absolutely! Our stage, lighting, and sound system are perfect for corporate presentations, awards ceremonies, or company announcements before the comedy show begins. Many corporate clients use the first 30-45 minutes for business content, then transition into entertainment. We provide microphones, stage access, and technical support for your presentations.

Are AV and microphones included?

Yes! Your private buyout includes full access to our professional stage, lighting rig, sound system, and microphones. Perfect for presentations, speeches, awards, or announcements. Our technical team will be on-site to assist with any AV needs and ensure everything runs smoothly. Just let us know what technical requirements you have and we'll accommodate them.
