Who does the promotion for the event?

Both us and you! However WE do most of the hard work making it easy for YOU! We will provide a bespoke promotional video that has been reviewed and approved by Community Management; as well as a printed (and electronic version) poster that was created by Lounges management! The approved video can go on socials and the posters can be put up around your Lounge! Here is an example of the approved poster! We will send you a number of high quality A3 glossy prints of this... We will also create a Facebook event page and CO-HOST with you... sharing the event with all your followers! This is confirmed as allowed by Community Management.
Will the audience eat during the event?

Yes! We have helped Lounge venues break their BEST EVER FOOD AND DRINK SALES IN A DAY record! The show is incredibly social. Most of the audience are groups of ladies (95% of the audience is female) coming for a great time with friends and family! They eat and drink... sing and laugh and have fun! We are proud to say Lounges report high to exceptionally high food and drink sales when they host our show! Indeed we helped Tarko Lounge (Barnstaple) break their BEST EVER record for sales in a day on a Saturday in November 2024 when we ran the show.
Do we switch off advance bookings for the date of the show?

Yes! Once we agree a date for the show; you will switch off online bookings. We will then sell tickets and pass the online order information to you well in advance of the show! This allows you and your team to plan the optimum seating/table layout for the event! Most customers buy tickets in groups but we always ask the customers if they want to sit with another person/other people who bought tickets separately; meaning you can group people very easily and create the perfect seating/table layout.
Can we have walk-ins on the night?

Yes! At every show we will sell tickets to a maximum capacity determined by you; allowing for walk-ins. Usually Lounge venues need c. 5% capacity for walk-ins on the night.
What do you need on the night?

Not much! We will bring everything for the show... so your team can focus on serving customers and selling food and drink. We do need a large c. 6ft table for the prizes to be displayed on; and a small area that will act as a "base" for Stacey with her PA speaker system and mixer. This is usually near the prizes table but doesn't strictly have to be!
What does the show cost my Lounge?

Usually nothing! Costs are covered by ticket sales. This includes all the costs for live entertainment, stake for amazing prizes, and promotion costs. The only cost to you would be some nominal optional low-cost extra prizes that are usually given by the Lounge to make the show even more special. These usually include free drinks (x6) and free vouchers (x 4).
