I do not do bringer shows. I do invite many hundreds of people both online, in person or over the phone those who know me and my comedy, and those who I meet or come across to my comedy shows. I am unable to guarantee you that any number of people will actually come to my shows I perform in, let alone 1 person besides me up on the stage. I do a lot to promote my next comedy shows I am going to be in soon. If you book me I expect the stage time promised to me in the agreement even if none of my invited guest show up to see me that night.  I perform only based on merit now and will no longer be performing under any restraints of a bringer show of having to bring lots of people to the club in order to be considered talented, funny, or on stage. Being that the more paying customers I bring to a show I do not get paid for at all or any comps for myself as the talent on the stage means that I get funnier to the club managers or owners based on how much money I bring them with amount head count of my invited guests who actually showed up and nothing to do with how my actual act or jokes do well on stage.   


If you are looking for comics to use for a bringer show do not bother contacting me about a show where I am required to bring a certain amount of people that night.  


I now perform based on the promoter and clubs trust that I am funny and good at stand up comedy in front of audiences.  


I want an agreement with you that the show I am booked for is not a bringer show and that I will get stage time even if none of my invited guests are able to show up that evening.  


I got screwed over really bad once before and do not want to repeat a bad exhausting experience again from a promoter who did not tell me the truth over the phone and in emails about the show being a bringer show, she had told me it was fine that I do not always have people who can show up, that she wanted to book me on her shows for my excellent comedy not how many paying customers I can bring to her show so she can get her cut of the nights final profit tally.  She did not give me the stage time she promised me and booked me for. Not going to happen again to me if I can help it!


I perform based on my talents and merit that you enjoy me and my comedy up on stage.  


Thank You
