As part of the Birmingham Comedy Festival (3-12 Oct 2014), the festival are running an ‘all-day’ event in Birmingham City Centre on Sunday 5 October at two venues. The venues hold around 60 each.
Hour long, ‘Edinburgh’ style slots will be available from lunchtime onwards in both venues.
To initially apply the festival requires:
- Details of the act and show being put forward.
- Roughly what time of day you’d like to perform. Slots are available from 1pm to 9:45pm.
- Whether there are technical requirements for the show.
- Whether you will sell tickets to your show OR run it as Free in, bucket donations on the way out. Either way you will keep 100% of the door/bucket money (less the on-line sales booking fee).
The festival will then get back to you with a time/venue. If you are allocated a slot – there is a £40 show registration fee. This covers:
- entry into the Birmingham Comedy Festival brochure, website and other marketing materials (as appropriate)
- free use of the venue for the allocated time
- a ‘show manager’ who will ensure the smooth running of the venue, do the door, sound cues etc.
- administration of on-line ticket sales, if you chose to sell tickets
