ANOTHER TIP FOR CABARET PERFORMERS

: Giving a "trade" discount to your show? Be sure to make the person seating the room aware of this fact before the show - and explain exactly what the discount is and to whom it should be given (even if you have already explained this when you booked the room).

TIPS FOR CABARET PERFORMERS

Giving a "trade" discount to your show? Please be sure to tell those who might take advantage of the discount to alert the host when you are seated, and the staff person taking your order of this. It will save time and confusion at the end of the show when your get your bill. This is especially true if credit cards are involved. If they don't speak up at the start, they may not get the discount at the end.
