This will be totally dependant on the type of professional performer you are, but a few of my Facebook friends are expressing deep concerns due to their jobs and earnings already being drastically affected by the corona-virus. These guys perform a lot in public shows, and at this rate they will ALL be cancelled, and a lot of earnings will be lost.
Have you noticed any impact yet? If you haven’t, how will you prepare? (If you can at all). If there is anything you can do to mitigate losses... do it. Seriously, the UK has gone from “everything is ok right now, schools will remain open and professional football matches will continue with fans” to “dozens of players might actually have the virus and we may need to cancel all football for months” in the space of 5 hours. I fear the loss of life will pale in comparison to the loss of financial security millions of us have right now. |

Had a trade show next week rescheduled, and four other private shows. Waiting for more unfortunately. Thankfully all are rescheduled so no big loss for now.

Yeah all of a sudden I'm grateful that I don't depend solely on performing for income.

Four cancellations so far, expecting more. One of them I am very sad about as it was in the South of France and the client was paying for a few days holiday after!
I'm prepared to write April off. Thankfully April is always a pretty quiet month. Looking more likely this is going to stretch into May and June which gets more worrying. I've always prepared for an emergency, thinking that I may get ill and need a few months off - never expecting everyone, everywhere to get ill! Therefore financially I can handle a three month holiday. My concern is how long it takes to pick up after. If it's anything like the last financial crash we could be talking years. |

Just recently back from Maryland where my good friend Michael Jons was doing a short run of his new show and it definitely affected attendance.
I'm performing tomorrow here in Miami, a psychic parlor event, so not that many people to start with, around 30, but still expecting very low attendance. Got other things booked which are completely up in the air at this point. This is serious business, we just need to get through it somehow. Stay safe, friends.

Not yet, but I think it might happen shortly. Things are closing up all around my city and I suspect the venue might get the same treatment in the next couple days.

I’ve had a couple of cancellations too. Fortunately I no longer rely on performing to put a roof over my head. I feel for the guys whose sole income is from performing, it’s likely to get worse before it gets better.

It’s impacting bad. :/ Multiple cancellations and some postponed with no confirm dates at the moment. Regular restaurant gigs cancelled as well.

The U.K. has predicted the peak to be in June... I hope you full timers can cover yourselves for that long.

Interestingly, I'm seeing a bit of a boom in requests for private events.

I have 4 restaurant gigs. No problems this past week. Haven't had management call me not to come in "YET" ?????
I guess I will find out this coming week. Yes, had some private shows moved to later dates. Let's hope and pray for the best.

One cancelled, but unexpectedly one new one. I think that's just a bit of fortune though, and who knows if it will still go ahead. I'm expecting it to be very quiet for a few months.
