I ran one for a year. I hated doing it after a few months, but I paid off my PA system.
Host duties may or may not include:- Make flyers with date/time/place as well as create FB event and invites
- Show up early
- Set up PA system
- Set out sign up list
- Go by order of sign ups (you get there late you go on late)
- Be strict on the time limit (usually 10 minutes or so depending on participation)
- Have a few jokes ready for in between performers
- Thank each performer after their set/introduce the next one
- Smile
- Break down PA system
- Collect cash
You'll get a lot of people wanting you to play favorites, add extra time, etc. Don't do it.
I may have left out things... it's been a while, but thats the way I ran it anyway. Good luck.
