I perform on a part-time basis and had 15 Christmas shows this season. I was pretty happy with that number. Having said that, I'd be interested to hear how others did this season.
Thanks, Gerry |

Congrats Gerry.
I am up to 12 shows for December. It has been a fantastic month but this alongside with being a primary school teacher I am looking forward to some well earned rest over the next few weeks. |

I had 8 kid show/events/programs (post thanksgiving) and 6 adult functions. I kinda like the mix. I would have liked to have done more, but I'm not terribly disappointed with 8+6.

In December alone I had 33 bookings. Most were 2-hour shows.
1 was adult cabaret, 1 was close-up. About 10 birthday parties and the rest were all Christmas parties for schools and organisations. |

Still slow on the west coast, for me. I did twice as many shows ad last year and last year was the least ever.

SF Bay Area, I had a really great December with 19 bookings (corporate and private parties) especially the Dec. 18/19 weekend.
I received 3 last minute calls for shows and I had to try and give away! Two of the other working pros in my area, who I often refer, were already booked, so I don't know who ended up with the bookings. Now don't get me wrong, this year was nothing like Dot.com heydays but much better than last year. |

In 2008 I had open heart surgery in November, and did only one free Christmas party that year. In 2009 I was hit by a car while crossing the street in October, and I did no Christmas parties that year. In 2010 I have had no life threatening event so far, and I am glad to be back to making kids laugh again, so although I have had more financially rewarding years in the past this year it feels prety nice just to have my health back again. I have done more than 8, but less than 20 shows this year, and I have received several nice tips too.
I also gave away several good paying shows to magician friends.

I've had 29 bookings this year, although two were all day bookings so I've performed 35 times. Two were adult cabaret, two were birthday parties, six hospital visits. No close up gigs this year which is very unusual. I've had two shows postponed till January because of the snow. January is looking OK, which is good. It's going to be an interesting year in 2011.

Zero for me this year as I landed a great paying job and have not spent money on marketing at all. I have found it very relaxing thus far and have had the time to improve my performances. Sometimes it is good to be slow. Other times it sucks to be slow.

Thanks for the correction guys! Disaster averted *phew*.
In future, please only post number of WEEKDAY shows in the "How many WEEKDAY Christmas shows did you have in December?" Otherwise, it's far too confusing! |
