There is no other way I know how to say this - Outlaw Cirkus really needs a talker
If you are unfamiliar with what that is, basically it is someone who MC's for a sideshow performance. They interact with the audience to build excitement and anticipation, and serve as a lecturer to describe the acts that are presented. A huge amount of stage presence is required -I have had the pleasure of watching some of the greatest talkers in the business and have high expectations. One must also dress the part, because I do not want to pay attention to someone who looks like they just walked in off the street.
This is an extremely critical role that has remained unfilled because I have been doing most shows by myself and require little more than my usual music track to accompany me. However, I do not want to continue on this route, as I feel that there is an element missing and the audience is not fully understanding what they are seeing.
One must be able to practice at least twice a week - obviously the more time you have the better. This a lifestyle that requires a professional attitude, and this person would also be included on the business end of things, so obviously it is a long-term position that requires dedication. Having the ability to travel is a plus, since I do get bookings out-of-town and would like to expand this range in the future.
