How to Book Rob Reider for an Event

Updated

Rob Reider's site provides a Book Now link as the entry point for event bookings, alongside a Contact page and a News section. The site does not publish a booking form, phone number, email address, or pricing on the pages captured here, so the practical path is: use the Book Now link, and if it does not give you a direct channel, use the Contact page. Booking is aimed at events that want a mime show or workshop — the site describes both as offerings.

What you can book

The site lists two main offerings under Shows & Workshops:

  • Mime show — described as suitable for events, delivered either on stage or while strolling through the audience. The description includes mime, juggling, balloon animals, and improvisation, and frames the content as clean family entertainment.
  • Workshops — listed alongside shows as a separate offering, with the same stated emphasis on quality and family-appropriate material.

If your event is a festival, school, community gathering, or private party, the strolling format is the one the site explicitly mentions as an option, since it does not require a stage.

Steps to make a booking request

  1. Open the site and find the Book Now link. The homepage navigation includes Book Now, which is the intended starting point for booking.
  2. Follow it to the booking or contact channel. If Book Now leads to a form or instructions, use that. If it only points you onward, go to the Contact page next.
  3. Send the details the performer needs to quote and schedule. The site does not list required fields, so include the essentials yourself:
    • Event date and start/end time
    • Venue name, city, and whether it is indoor or outdoor
    • Whether you want a stage show, a strolling performance, or a workshop
    • Audience size and age range
    • Your budget range and who to contact for confirmation
  4. Wait for a reply before treating the date as held. Nothing on the captured pages indicates instant confirmation or online scheduling, so assume a response is required.
  5. Confirm logistics in writing — arrival time, performance length, space or stage needs, sound requirements, and payment terms.

What the site does not tell you

  • No published price. There are no pricing links or payment platforms listed, so cost has to come from the performer directly.
  • No published contact details in the captured content — no email, phone, or booking form fields are shown.
  • No stated lead time or availability calendar. The News section exists, but the captured pages do not show whether it lists upcoming dates.

Treat any assumption about rates, travel radius, or response time as unverified until you get a reply.

Checking credibility before you book

The site includes a Testimonials section. One quoted testimonial, attributed to Angela Caplan, describes the performance as polished and poised and notes the audience's laughter. The About section states that Rob Reider trained with Marcel Marceau, Thomas Leabhart, and Tony Montanaro, and describes his work as clean family entertainment intended to cross cultural barriers through humor. The site also links to an article about him in the Herald Palladium.

For an event planner, the useful checks are: does the testimonial match the tone you want, and does the training background fit the level of polish your audience expects? Both are stated on the site rather than independently verified here.

If you need a decision quickly

  • Book Now first — it is the site's own designated booking path.
  • Contact second — use it if Book Now does not produce a direct channel.
  • Include full event details in your first message so you can get a usable quote in one exchange rather than several.
  • Ask explicitly about price, travel, and set length, since none of these appear on the site.
