Professional Entertainers

spend on average

 

1+ hours of prepping (email, consults, phone calls, etc.)

2+ hours of loading and unloading of equipment, sound checking, preparing their show and outfit.

7+ hours of everything else (driving, posting, ordering, preening, etc)

 

EACH SINGLE PERFORMANCE

Before ANY performance time

 

They also spend thousands of pounds on equipment, marketing, props and outfits. Not to forget the countless hours of practising and rehearsing of their skill.

 

They don’t get paid holidays or sick days. They don’t get bonuses for outstanding performances. They often don’t have pension plans and 20% – 40% of their profit goes straight into taxes.

 

Please, understand that they are business owners and they have a LOVE of entertaining but that LOVE won’t pay the bills.

 

RESPECT your ENTERTAINER
