judge Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I have the opportunity to get Beardyman to perform at the Courthouse but he is very expensive for us as we can only sell 230 tickets, I would have to charge £20 per ticket to cover the costs, inc hotels and flights, judging by the prices that tickets cost at the villa, people have paid over £40 for bands etc, as we are a more intimate venue what are peoples thoughts if we were to charge £20 on the door, this is a big risk and we would make money on the bar, and hopefully cover the costs on the door if it was a success but if it did not sell out we would loose loads, I would love to put him on as he is an incredible performer and I think he will be too big for us soon, I am trying to book good acts and provide credible DJ's but it is a big risk, I would appreciate your thoughts and whether people would genuinely want to come to see him?

lethargy Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I suspect you may struggle - £20 is alot of money for someone that's not particularly well known. That said, it's nice to see someone bringing over interesting and different acts, so good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarbunny Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'd pay £20 to see him. Its not that expensive, and better than the few hundred to go away and see him across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hazard Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 yes. I would definitely pay 20 clams for the privilege. I love beatboxing and this guy takes it to another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 OH MY GOD!!! I and I can think of at least 5-10 other people would easily pay £20 to see Beardyman. Please just don't have it anywhere near the end2end mountainbike race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oogie boogie Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm sure He'd sell well. While you're feeling adventurous with the credit card, look into DJ Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierrot Lunaire Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Beatboxing is stupid. It holds my attention, impresses me even, for a couple of minutes and then just starts to get annoying. Although admittedly this beardy fellow is very good at it. £20 sounds fair enough for those who can stand a whole set of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/user/beardyman?blend=1&ob=4#p/c/029046020DFD077D/0/qciVXUHTN10 Pretty unique. Like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sausage Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Not heard of him before, watched the video links, loved it. Count me in if it happens. Will also pass on the word to get some more people interested. Think it would be a really good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatboxing is what has made him 'famous' (UK Champion several years running), but I would assume he won't be doing that for 2 hours! He's also a really good DJ with loads of random sampling etc. Hope it all comes together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judge Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Me, being the impetuous fool that I am have just made an offer to his management for Friday the 8th October as this was about the only date that he had left before the end of the year, as he primarily only does festivals now. So fingers crossed, as soon as I hear something I will put the word out and we should start putting bets now on how much grief I will take on the door when people have to hand over a twenty! place your bets.

Cliff Hazard Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 ace, I'll be there. Is there a discount for comedy beard wearers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
