Enjoyable gig today; roughly 25 (vetted) people in, the original shMOZle edit, and an appreciative audience who wanted to see something different, unique and that’s what they got. And although my energy wasn’t at the max I kept trying to up my game throughout to really pantomime my performance.
No feedback forms today, which ironically was good as audiences were happy to feedback at the door, with comments such as “best show I’ve ever seen”, “really amazing”, “so glad I came” (that was from a lovely lady - ooh err) and “excellent show, well done”. Had some real gigglers in the audience today, quiet ones, but by vetting them I seem to have found a core audience, or my niche.
One guy rightly pointed out that my flyer doesn’t sell the show properly, and I agree. Next year I won’t make that mistake, my new “sales patter” and feedback (email address) will be on the flyer too. Monetary-wise (not that that’s important) I’m back to making the same high levels as last year so the hard work is paying off. As is the learning curve.
More later.
