#205: Mile High City to the Big Apple - Tickets and Shows

I recorded a podcast with several owners/operators/performers of small theaters from California to Florida. In this podcast we go into this area a bit deeper to not only talk about other shows and how to find a theater, but also how to sell tickets online. This is an interesting podcast that features two separate chats: one with William Rader, who moved from Oklahoma to Colorado to follow his dream, and the second is with an alliterative duo, Max Mayhem and Logan Lethal who had a dream and made it a reality by finding a venue in downtown Manhattan.

William Rader is up first talking about his mentalism show and why he moved from Oklahoma to Denver to develop his show. He discusses how he markets his "Mind Reading and Mystery Show" called "An Enchanted Evening", how he finds performing space, talking with the theater managers, networking, and how he puts people in the seats. He also goes into detail about how he has developed his new ticketing platform, "Well Attended dot com". This is an exciting opportunity for all of us to sell tickets online for our audiences.

00:32:52 - Max Mayhem and Logan Lethal are the two known as "Nightmare Brothers Circus" that host a cabaret show in "Times Scare" in New York City that's filled with sideshow activity and comedy. They have been influenced by Michael Finney and Dan Sperry, kind of an unlikely duo. They talk about their vision and how they found the venue where they perform and what's in their show. They have a very unique way of accepting tips after their show, too!
