| Practicalities
I always try to be as flexible as possible about the
arrangements for a performance but I have some basic practical needs.
I need somewhere to get changed which is private and
in the case of the Wild Man of the Woods with a supply of hot water for
dealing with make up. It is also useful if there is somewhere for me to
hide or retreat to between shows or for a break if I'm on walk about at
a public event. Also somewhere secure where my personal effects can be
stored.
Mr. Beetle can't really do walk about for very long
- I can wear the costume for about an hour but then I need to take that
helmet of for a bit!
I'm sorry but I don't do two different characters in
one day. You need to decide which one you want. I can however vary my
material during the day so that I don't do the same performance twice.
Cost
The basic fee is £175 per day, not including expenses
such as travel or accomodation. That covers three performances of up to
an hour - you decide the time and duration. I may charge more if you need
more than this.
I often offer reductions for bookings of more than one
day, depending upon the circumstances and I am not inflexible with respect
to price. If you have a budget to keep to just let me know - it's usually
better to do the gig than not to do it!
