Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

Hollywood, CA

Male, 32

I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.

Varies widely depending on how much leverage you have. Like most things in life.

We have a club outside a military base and there is a big shortage of good looking women for our ladies contests that we run, any tips on were to find hot women to recruit for the club contests?

Maybe contests aren't your forte then. Cheap beer might be better alternative.

You stated that it's easier to grease up the promoters than the bouncers, but how do you differentiate between the promoters who can actually get you in and the ones who can't?

Asked by Seraphis over 11 years ago

Promoters will tell you if they can get you in up front and before any money is exchanged. If not, are you sure that's the promoter? Could be the valet.

Is clubs a good place to pickup girl as opposed to other places with girls and if so, how do you put your best foot forward?

Asked by sexymofo over 11 years ago

I could write a book as an answer to this. 

Overall I think if you have certain advantages, looks chief among them, clubs can be pretty decent places. 

Best foot forward...put a lot of effort into your appearance. This means being in really good shape, lots of thought into your clothes and style, and a cool haircut. Getting to know people in nightlife (promoters, etc). And most of all build thick skin. Finding love in a club is a numbers game. 

Should a promoter be held accountable for liabilty during the night of his event.

Asked by Alias over 11 years ago

Ha! No. The club isn't even really liable for most things and they have insurance (which costs a fortune) for the things they are liable for. If a promoter was held liable for the actions of 2000 drunk and potentially drugged-up bozos, no one would ever do the job.
