Why not do both shows? Look at hosting one at 1 and the other one at 5 or 6 (depending on travel time between shows). I've done this before and it works out great. Talk with your hosts before you make any decisions. Then look at moving the other host to a different day.If you have to resort to giving the show to someone else, make sure to get all details up front. Personally if she does the show, she should get the bookings. People might book with her because they like her. She might be willing to give you the parties but figure out how you want to handle that - will she have a copy of your calendar and book them for you, will you call them later, etc.

I did 2 shows this past Saturday. The first from 1-3 and the second from 7-9. If you can I would do them both. If you can't, then try to get one of them to reschedule. I agree that if you have someone else do your show she should get the bookings.

Thanks! I appreciate your responses! I am going to ask the first host to move hers up an hour so i can accomodate both! and if that doesn't work; I'll give it away and allow her the bookings as well.

Thanks!!!!

If the timing doesn't work out, just apologize for the schedule conflict and see if she'd be willing to pick another day. If not, then offer the show to someone else. But I'd never just hand over a show to someone if I could help it. It's your business and future bookings and new contacts are at stake!

Are you worried about being pushy if you ask the 2nd host to change dates? Does she want a July party and that's the only date that you have open? Ask yourself this before you just hand the party over.
