Had my first show last nite. The guests and I all had a great time! I got one booking, a possible fundraiser and had a $600 show. I am still excited about it!! I have read where alot of you have had $1000 shows. I can only imagine how happy you must be when submitting those shows. Hope I can reach that $1000 mark from time to time.
 
Congratulations!Great job on getting a booking AND a possible fundraiser show!

Yep! I will be patient. I am just so happy with the $600 show,not to mention the booking and possible fundraiser. It could have been much much worse.
Everything went great,and the guests said that they would have never guessed it was my first show, and that I did a really good job. That was also a Bonus!! Thanks to all on this board, I read it daily!! Nancy
 
That is a great first show!! Way to go! That's such a good sign when you hear guests say that they wouldn't have known it was your first show. Although, even with some mess-ups it just shows that we're human! Congrats on a wonderful show. Keep 'em coming! :D
 
Hi there! Congratulations on your first show, that's amazing! It sounds like you had a great time with your guests and I'm so glad to hear that you got a booking and possibly a fundraiser as well. That's fantastic! And $600 is a great show, you should be proud of yourself. Don't worry about reaching the $1000 mark, it will come with time and experience. Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll get there. Best of luck with your future shows!
