| Office hours: Monday – Thursdays 12:00pm – 5:00pm Comedians please call and confirm on Mondays between12:00pm -5:00pm Always get to the show 30 minutes before show start time. If you are running late you must call the club so they know when to expect you. When you are late it makes the owner & other acts nervous not to mention it’s unprofessional.( you need to let us know if you DOUBLE UP so we can expect you late!) Welcome to North Shore Comedy Productions/ Management. The most important thing you can do as a comic is to update you avails with us at least once a month so we know where you are (you never know when a last minute gig comes in). Emergencies? North Shore Comedy’s main phone number is cell phone (978) 828- 5939 so we can attend to every call as it comes in (please make sure it’s an emergency). Photos & Bio: Please give us updated photos of yourself. We send out 2-3 to each of our clients to use. We do not book comics who have no info in our files so please send in photos promptly when asked. Getting Paid: Important…If you are being paid by NSC you will be paid within two to four weeks after the gig. Payment is sometimes different with each club and you will be told prior to the show when you call to confirm your dates. (Always carry ample road cash with you). Cancellation Policy: We hate this as much as you do but it happens. If you need to cancel a gig please let us know as soon as possible so we can fill your spot, Two weeks should be enough notice but we will go on a case by case basis. If the gig is canceled we will make every effort to notify you prior to the show. If the show is canceled day or night of gig it usually is standard for the club to pay ½ to all performers (we will do our best to see that you get your money). The only way the client doesn’t have to pay is if there is an uncontrolled condition such as snow, fire, flood ect.. Working Competitors Room – Same Town: This is not a problem with us as we are comics too and understand that we all need to make a living, however we do like to space out your visit to the town so the patrons don’t get sick of the same act. Bookings: We book from the avails you give to us. An on-line calendar is a great FREE tool to have If we have something for you we will call you as soon as possible. We may call ten or more comics so it is first come first serve. It has been my personal experience that the comics who have Cell phones get all the gigs. (You all should get a cell phone this is an age where you need one) one call for a gig could pay for the cell for the year. You will see how many calls you used to miss once you get a cell phone THEY WORK! Want More Work? If you know of any club or potential client who may want to do a comedy show please call the office for more info. Please give them one of our cards or our number and ALWAYS get thier info as well, say you refered them. We pay finders fee and it is best NOT to hand out your card since it is our accountthey saw you at. Comics Who Owe Us $$: Don’t put yourself in this category. If you pick up the check or commission please send it a.s.a.p If we don’t get it in two weeks we will dock you $25.00 off your check. We try to pay on time and if your late that makes us late to pay the other comics and I’m sure we all agree that the sooner we get paid the better ( if you pay us on time we notice, and will think of those comics first when it comes to giving out work). Referring Comics: Please have them send a bio + tape so we can view it along with a note saying you referred them. Comics who we don't know can NOT do guest spots in our rooms without permission. Please Tell Us: Please tell us of anything “unusual� happened at the show so we know. All matters are strictly confidential. We can’t fix a problem if we don’t know it exists. THANKS! Thank you for working for us and helping us to become one of New England’s largest and most respected comedy agencies.
