TIMINGS
Tomàs will aim to be at the venue flyering from around 18:00/18:15 so anyone who would like to join please do!
The previous show should finish around 19:00/19:05 for get in / set up / moving chairs to 3 sides / checking tech
Please be at Brewdog Lothian Road by 19:00
19:15 is the show start time! (55min duration - ends at 20:10)
After the show please stick around if you're able to, to help put chairs back / get your money (more on that below)

FLYERING

We will try and get flyers distributed to PBH venues that allow it - certainly they will be at Brewdog Lothian Road. Please always flyer with the wee blue book as well as the flyers! Anyone willing to help flyer at the venue before the show, or any time really, it would be much appreciated!

TECH 

There will definitely be a microphone and a PA system at the venue at the very least … we don’t really know how much more there will be.

If possible please send audio tracks and cue info via email so we can have them ready to go on QLab: thedaftduocomedy@gmail.com

AUDIENCE POSITION

The majority of performers liked the idea of performing in the round so we have hopefully chosen a compromise that will suit everyone. We have decided to try and have the audience on 3 sides - so a thrust staging style - which will still allow for a back wall (this may be against the see through make-shift wall depending on set up). 

MONEY

Each night the money will be split equally between the performers and the host (i.e. with 6 acts the money will be split 7 ways). It would be preferable to do a cash split on the night - so if acts can remain after the show and wait for takings to be totted up and distributed that would be ideal - otherwise we will request bank details via email and arrange transfer, please bear with us though as this option will take time to do the admin for.

PERFORMERS MERCH & SELF PROMOTION

If you have your own merch that you’d like to sell after the show, or if you have flyers for your show that you want to give out, please feel free to do so! Also please feel free to promote shows you are involved with during your performance slot.

THANK YOU

Thank you all for agreeing to perform - and an extra Thank You to those who have offerred to lend a helping hand - bring on Fringe 2024 - woop woop!!

Lots of love,
