STAGING
A fantastically staged production that takes care of the venue. We use rubber foot staging that is adjustable in height so we ensure audiences get the best view of the show whilst ensuring minimal damage to surfaces. We recognise the importance of our surroundings-that's why we are considered by many to be the best!
ABILITY TO PERFORM ANYWHERE (Pretty Much!)
A bold statement but true! Because all of our shows have live music and song and all our lighting is battery operated. We don't need power so if you've got the perfect spot in your venue don't let a lack of power supply stop you from booking a show to perform there! We go where others simply can't!
INSURANCE
We can provide evidence of Public Liability Insurance upon request.
RISK ASSESSMENT
A detailed risk assessment of the performance to be used in conjunction with venue risk assessments.
ACCOMMODATION
We arrange and pay for all company accommodation and transport.
PRESS AND MARKETING
We provide you with all the show information, photos and press releases, as well as directly market via our social media channels on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We will also contact local and national press to support all shows.
WORRIED ABOUT THE WEATHER?
Don't be! We perform in all but dangerous conditions and haven't cancelled a show yet due to weather! We've delayed the start time to allow for heavy showers/storms to pass but have most definitely performed in the rain on many occasion! If venues are able to provide an alternative indoor space we are more than happy to move location too-because we have easy to erect and flexible staging for all our shows this isn't a problem for us at all! If a show has to be cancelled due to the weather we will happily reschedule the performance for another day. We just ask that if you have sold tickets you inform customers, (we'll take care of any sold by This is my Theatre/TIMT) and honour everyone’s tickets –hopefully we can even sell a few more before we return too!
Show Buyout
An alternative financial option to the Box Office Split is the Show Buyout. This allows a venue/host to buy a show outright and then keep all money raised through ticket sales.
We price these according to three metrics:
-
Peak or Off-Peak Date
-
Venue Capacity
-
Venue Location
Peak or Off-Peak Date
We separate our performance weeks into both Peak Dates and Off-Peak Dates due to venue demand.
Off-Peak Dates | Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays
Peak Dates | Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays
(Note: We do not tend to perform on Mondays, however this can be arranged if this is your preferred performance day, e.g. if it's a bank holiday etc)
For a performance set to take place on an Off-Peak Date (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) we are able to offer a reduced minimum buyout fee of £850 (+VAT) for Non-VAT Registered Venues and £1000 (+VAT) for VAT Registered Venues. For Performances on Peak Dates (Friday, Saturday or Sunday) our minimum buyout fees increase to £1250 (+VAT) and £1500 (+VAT) for Non-VAT Registered and VAT Registered Venues respectively.
A full table of of Buyout prices according to Peak vs Off-Peak Dates can be found below along with information regarding...
Venue Capacity
Alongside Peak vs Off-Peak Dates we also base the buyout price on the capacity of the venue/amount of tickets to be sold for the performance in order to keep things as fair as possible (as we work with spaces of all sizes, from 30-seater chapels to coastal forts capable of holding 300+.)
As a general rule, we cost this at a reduced ticket price of £10 per person (for example, a 120 capacity venue would be priced at £1200 +VAT) with a minimum Buyout fee of £1000, though for smaller venues of less than 100 we might be able to offer a discount.

Venue Location
Finally, as a Sussex-based company that tours nationally we have to factor in accommodation, fuel and our performers' time accordingly. We have included the additional fees based on the location of the venue in the table below:
Venue Location
Non-VAT Registered Venue
East & West Sussex, Kent, Surrey
Plus £50 (Incl. VAT)
Hampshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Berkshire & Buckinghamshire
Plus £100 (Incl. VAT)
Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset & Gloucestershire
Plus £200 (Incl. VAT)
Rest of the Country + Wales & Scotland
Plus £250 (Incl. VAT)
Example Booking
Let us say that you are running a Non-VAT Registered Venue in Essex which has a capacity of 130 and you would like to book one of shows on the Buyout principle to visit on a Wednesday.
Wednesday is an Off-Peak date for us and the buyout fee for a Non-Vat Registered Venue with a capacity of 130 on an Off-Peak date is £1090 (+VAT). As the venue is in Essex we would charge an additional fee of £100 (incl. VAT) giving a Total Buyout Fee of:
£1408
[£1090 + VAT =] £1308 + £100 =£1408
If you were to sell all tickets for the show at our recommended price of £15 General Admission and at a capacity of 130:
-
Total Ticket Sales | 130 x £15 = £1950
-
Minus Buyout Fee | £1950 - £1408 = £542
