What a great aim for the director of the entire festival! "Hi, please come to our festival and lose all your money!"
Obviously people need to go in with their eyes open, but surely when even relatively successful newcomers (RAW Comedy Winner?) are going in expecting to lose a bunch of money then that should be a sign that there is something seriously wrong? The festival can only take place if comics attend, yet they're expecting many of the lower-rung comics to be essentially funding the festival?
Seems out of kilter to me. I'm sure someone will be along soon to point out it's because I'm a clueless idiot though so it's all good.
I seem to remember Kevin Whyte saying the standard Token commission is 20% because I seem to remember being surprised it was so high. Can't find the thread anymore though.
