Special Guest is an app that allows anyone to book entertainers such as comedians and magicians, and has proven useful for everyone stuck at home
, created by Wayans and a business partner, allows users to hire live entertainers — like comedians, magicians, DJs and artists — for events. Since its launch in 2017, the app has proven to be a great way for local entertainers to get exposure while offering its users a unique experience outside of a typical venue.
That's why Special Guest switched gears during the pandemic, allowing users to book entertainers for "virtual events" hosted through live video. "We are having a ton of DJs getting booked, comedians getting booked," Wayans says. "Standup comedy events are essentially more conversational because you're not doing comedy in front of that many strangers, it's maybe a household full of people or maybe one person that's a really big fan of yours. So it's more of a fun FaceTime conversation, essentially."
"It's not the actual experience physically, but it's the next best thing," Wayans continues. "You still get that energy, that magnetic energy that you have from hearing your favorite song or hearing your favorite joke from your favorite comedian — or an undiscovered comedian. There's a lot of niche acts out there that are on this app as well that are getting a lot of love.
