Today I talk with CLUB 52 member and PATREON supporter Susan Sussman about setting up your first fundraiser show. Susan is a comedienne from Norfolk, VA who I met through the podcast. She followed through on some of the suggestions I made in THIS BLOG about setting up a show. Then we talked live about the event. And, next I followed up afterwards to see how it went.

Lot's of great info on this episode about setting a comedy show, whether it be your own show or a comedy fundraiser show.

We cover a lot of ground, including:

  • How many comics to have on the show
  • How long the comedy show should be
  • Where to set ticket prices
  • Stage, sound and lights set up
  • Expecting the unexpected at a fundraiser show
  • Marketing and advertising
  • Food and beverage
  • Structuring the line up of the show

and much, much more.
