This is it - the ultimate book full of the hottest contests being done at parties, bars, and nightclubs all over the world!

There are theme ideas such as "Dead Celebrity Seance", "La Noche Latina", and "The Sobriety Test Olympics". There are sports oriented games for groups like "The Shuffle Golf Masters' Tournament" and "The Slam Basketball Half-Court Shoot" for any sized room.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

It's wild, it's crazy, and it's often pretty darn racy at times. But it's absolutely the best compilation of adult party games we've ever seen. Most books use a lot of filler material (like bad illustrations), but this book is 100 solid pages of ideas and descriptions of fun stuff to do. Chuck Fresh has included several short stories about his experiences working in radio and at nightclubs all over the country that make this title truly fun reading.

From the Author

You've probably noticed that it's becoming much harder to keep people's attention. You have to be the focus of what people are talking about, or you're practically non-existent! And with the recent nightclub incidents in Chicago and Rhode Island, people may be a bit more hesitant to go out thanks to the overblown press coverage. More than ever, you need contests and promotions that will increase your attendance. MAKE SOME NOISE has over 200 great, attention getting things to do in any sized bar or club! We've covered some of the hottest new stuff in the world including:

-Bikini MADNESS (we've reinvented the old boring bikini contests for the 21st century)
-The All-Woman Kissing Contest
-Midget Wrestling
-Kamikaze Karaoke
-Shuffle Golf

And we've even included some lower-key stuff that can be done anywhere, well, almost anywhere, like:

-First _____ to the bartender or DJ wins a prize (over 50 wild suggestions that'll get folks going nuts!)
-License Plate Lotto
-Wrap the Rascal
-Reverse BJ
-Strip Trivia

MAKE SOME NOISE is "a must-have guide for nightclub and bar managers, DJ's, and even radio and promotions people who are looking for something fun and occasionally outrageous to do." And there's lower-key stuff in this book you could do on off-nights at smaller bars and clubs by a bartender alone. This amazing book includes something for almost any club or bar or party of any size.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two thumbs up; three if I had another!, February 18, 2003

Forget about bikini contests, banana eating contests and all that silly stuff everyone else has been doing the past 10 years. It's no wonder the club business is suffering - it's been incredibly BORING! "Make Some Noise" finally brings some new and sometimes pretty wild contests and promotions to light. I run a mid-sized bar in the Philadelphia suburbs, and this book has been a big part of helping build some really fun nights. We're about to try "Midget Wrestling", and my advance ticket sales have been better than any band I've had here in years. "Barbie Girl" was a total scream! And the local police got involved with "The Sobriety Olympics", which they thought was a great idea to teach people how too much alcohol can impair your judgment. We've even had people go out to their cars, remove their spare tires for a prize! Most of these ideas are sooo out of the box that they're just perfect for this industry. I can't say enough good things about the insight provided by Make Some Noise. Definitely recommended reading for anyone looking for fun stuff to do. Two thumbs up; three if I had another!

I run a large nightclub, and I'm always looking for new things to do to keep my club on the edge. This book has given me and my DJ's months of new things to do that everyone is talking about. The writer also gave me some great ideas about things to do in my room and with people that I never heard before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific resource!, November 30, 2001

This review is from: Make Some Noise - Over 101 Great Things to do at a Club, Bar or Party (Plastic Comb)

I picked up this book a few months ago for some party game ideas to use at my DJ events. I have to tell you I've had things spilled on it, the pages are ratty, the cover is now torn, but I make sure I've always got it with me because I've used this book countless times. Some of these contests are hilarious. I've generated many referral sales and picked up a few nights at a local nightclub as a result of the chaos that the things in this book have caused! Make Some Noise is an invaluable resource for DJs and bars. Also recommend How To Be A DJ by same author - even more awesome marketing tips!
