Nicholas you probably wouldn't actually.
I am NOT a fan of doing routines specially designed for certian parties. It makes little sense in my book. I have worked for mega companies from Kellogs to the Olympics and NEVER specialised a performance for any one of them. The reason is that when I am booked they see me at a comedy club or at another corporate show so they know exactly what they are paying for so there is no need for me to sell based on some pitch like specialised routines. The other thing is that to me the routines will be nowhere near as polished as the things you normally do. How can they be after only a few weeks as opposed to a few years? It is just not possible. I am hited because I am me period. So to change that makes no sense. I know this is against conventional wisdom! Heck Don Alan, one of my early mentors used to thrive on doing exactly the OPPOSITE of what I am saying. BUT when he did it it was with GREAT routines, NOT rehashed old jokes and crap. That is the difference in my mind. Pleas Nick, and all don't take offense to this and start with the angry words and endless PMs. I am only stating how it works for me and me alone. But if you do specialise routines, please make them worthwhile and not 100 year old jokes ok?

NIck, NOBODY said it raised my ire, it was only an opinion. That seems to make you upset when you don't agree. Like I said Don Alan did EXACTLY what you are talking about and he was one of the best paid corporate entertainers. The beauty of life is we can have differing opinions and still be sucessfull right>? isn't that the whole point of this forum?

The point of this forum is to keep on the topic which was to throw around a few ideas for an Adam and Eve themed event. IF that means people want to trade Adam and Eve jokes then fantastic.
If you want to have a discussion about why you don't like tailoring acts to suit your clients needs then I suggest you do so. |

Thanks Bill.
But Nick has a point. I was WAY off topic and to be serious as out of charector as it is for me I do apologise to anyone offended by that. Thank you for your understanding guys it will be the end of the problem.

You could do the 21st century undies but instead of the undies you produce a big fig leaf. Or two fig leaves.
By the way Nicholas have you done this Party yet? If you have, how did it go? And what did you end up doing? I wish you all the best!!! |

The gig was last night and all went very well. They had apples in bowls everywhere so I performed bill in apple with one of their apples. I made it look like an after thought, as if I WAS going to do something else but since they have apples here...
I also perform my seven deadly sins card trick, a recreation of adam and eve using two fig leaves, a silk and spring snake and a few of my traditional routines. Everyone seemed happy! |
