We have just taken over the bar on Camping Nauta and are looking for an Act Christmas Eve. Does anyone know of anyone who might be available and roughly how much they charge?
We are looking for someone to entertain all ages, this is our First Christmas and we want to start how we mean to go on.
Thank you for your help

It can be notoriously hard to get hold of acts on Xmas Eve, so I would try and get booking now. Charges range from double to triple the normal fees.

Why not try contacting an agent, such as Paul James Associates or Graham Paul.

You think that bars pay double or triple time for an act Christmas! must be what you want from Santa lol.
Put a disc in and sing for max an hour oh can i have 100e at least please rip off!
Get a late booking xmas eve hardly brill as most have a drink and sort the kids out dont get ripped on an act yet newbee.
Before everyone jumps on the band wagon believe nurses etc yes pay should be more but entertainers which most are not want more but the bars dont charge more for drinks in general.
Love to have a bad or alright voice and charge what they charge.

Rogue Tradersi think most entertainers stick to there normal schedual for normal money.i know the acts i have all year get paid the same every day they work.there are a few good guys acts who reward loyalty n vice versa.if you want an act for one time only expect to pay big bucks

True, if an act works in a bar regularly and gets paid however quiet the night is cannot expect extra when the bar makes money: Loyalty.

One offs are another thing.
