A fire eater is someone who professionally plays with fire, performing tricks that involve eating and breathing fire. They will often fill their show with additional fire tricks, like fire dancing and twirling flaming hula hoops or batons.
On average, a professional fire eater costs $300-$400. This exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the performance, the number of performers, and their skill level. Fire eating has an inherent degree of danger to it, so remember to ask your fire eater about liability insurance and fire safety requirements.
Usually, one fire eater provides ample entertainment for an event of any size. Keep in mind that fire eating is dangerous, so the more fire eaters and fire breathers you hire, the more space you’ll need to safely accommodate your performers. If you’d like multiple fire eaters at your event, book through a larger performance group or production company to ensure a choreographed, cohesive show.
Fire eaters are often booked for festivals, proms, beach parties, Hawaiian luaus, and other social events. They can also add a wow factor to corporate events and private parties, especially those with a circus theme. If you’re looking to bring lively excitement to a simple event, fire eating and fire breathing might be the perfect avenue.
Fire eaters are most commonly booked for a 30-minute performance. However, they are generally flexible and able to customize the length of their show based on your event.
Depending on what would suit the occasion best, your fire eater can perform once, a few times, or even continuously in the background of your event. Make sure to discuss your expectations ahead of time with your fire eater and allow them time to rest and hydrate throughout the event.
It can be good to plan for at least 12x12 feet of space for your fire eater to perform. This gives them room to move around and also allows your guests to be a safe distance away. For indoor events, the ceiling should be at least 16-18 feet tall, depending on the types of fire tricks the performer will do.
If you’re hiring multiple fire performers for a complete fire show, more space will be needed. It can be good to have a large stage area in that case. You should discuss all of these parameters with your fire performer before booking to make sure you’ll be able to accommodate their needs.
As long as you have enough space and the proper safety precautions are taken, you can book a fire performance for an indoor event. Your venue will need to have tall ceilings over the performance area as well as ample room for them to perform and remain at a safe distance from your guests.
Before you book a fire eater for an indoor performance, discuss with both the entertainer and the venue to be sure everyone is on board and knows what the limitations and requirements are. Some venues might require certain permits for hosting a fire show.
