Running a room: What to tell performers in advance.
Take the guesswork out of performing and you'll have better shows.
Running a room? Here are some of the things performers wonder so send out an email before the show letting ‘em know:
Where is the venue?
What time is the show and what time should I be there?
Am I getting paid? How much?
What is expected of me?
What should I expect of the venue?
Do I get free drinks and food?
Do I get any comp tickets/guest list?
In what order do I appear in the show and how much time should I prepare?
I can curse, right?
Do you provide a recording of my set?
How can I help promote?
Inspired by this impressively detailed email Lincoln Lodge in Chicago used to send to performers the week of the show.
