I asked thios over in the Business ection but I will ask it here.

How do you crack the marekt of being a warm up or opening act?

I know there are some vents out there who have done it.

You would be dealing with adult audiences, most of whom could care less if you are there since they'd like to see the star(s). Are you sure that is a market you want to try and crack?

Hmmmm. Never thought of it that way...

Maybe not

As a magician, I tried being the front act for a band more than a decade ago...

Tom is so spot on...people don't care about your act

I wish I can try it again this time as a ventriloquist The audience may still feel the same but with the right kind of puppet and some really relavant jokes, it might just work

Like myself, you may want to treat opening act gigs as open mics...

A wonderful opportunity to try new materials!

I am a collector so for me there will never be enough!! Every figure has its own distinct personality and even though I don't do ventriloquism all of the figures speak volumes to me!!
