Senior Entertainment Agent E3 Artists

As we enter the month of June, there is no sign of the public obsession with Britain’s Got Talent receding and with the national tour set to begin shortly, it’s not likely to die down any time soon. Requests for acts from the show to appear at corporate events, private parties or organised functions are flooding in on a daily basis so this month’s guide offers some information on the most bookable Britain’s Got Talent acts.

The cost to hire a BGT act can fluctuate significantly according to a number of factors including the media exposure they continue to receive after the show and the demand for their time that this creates. As a general guideline it is possible to book some former BGT acts from as little as £500. However, the majority of acts that make it through to the finals have fee expectations of £2,000 or more. Some of the most successful acts, such as 2009 winners Diversity, can command over £10,000 for a performance. For a more accurate indication of booking fees you can contact one of our entertainment agents using our online form.

1. Hire Escala
Escala wowed the nation on BGT series one with their classical renditions of modern favourites and their stunning image. It’s possible to hire Escala for corporate events, however having recently had an album reach number 2 in the UK charts they are now one of the more costly acts to book.

2. Hire Diversity
This electric dance act pulled off the shock result of the competition this year by being crowned champions. Deserved winners on the night, Diversity are available for both corporate and private events.

3. Hire Flawless
Eventual winners Diversity claimed that they were inspired to create their dance troupe after seeing Flawless perform. A popular booking request, Flawless are available to bring inspiration to your next event.

4. Hire George Sampson
Winner of series two and the forerunner to the hugely successful BGT dance acts that followed. George is available to perform at professionally produced private and corporate events.

5. Hire Stavros Flatly
This father and son duo proved to be much more than just a one trick pony delivering exciting and hilarious performances at every stage of the competition.

6. Hire Signature
Favourites from Britain’s Got Talent, Signature have forged a hugely successful career as entertainers following their massive popularity on the show. Currently a very popular choice for a wide range of events.

7. Hire Gareth Oliver, Strike & Julian Smith
Gareth Oliver amazed the BGT crowd with his fantastic ventriloquist skills, narrowly missing out on a place in the grand final. Strike’s high impact martial arts skills were a crowd favourite on BGT series two and Julian Smith’s laid back saxophone stylings secured him a place in this year’s grand final.

8. Hire The Barwizards
The Barwizards jaw-dropping act kept audiences entertained, flipping, spinning, throwing, catching, shaking and pouring their way through to the BGT final.

9. Hire Bang On!
Bang on! is a unique live percussion act perfect for experiential events. For a competitive fee, Bang On! are the perfect booking for event planners looking to make a real impact.

10. Hire Tracey Lee Collins
Tracey Lee Collins is a sensational drag act with a unique voice who owes her creation in no small part to Simon Cowell’s matter of fact judging style.
