Contact Larry Weaver using the number or email above. <br />Larry Weaver Entertainment, LLC | 2501 Cherry Blossom Drive | Durham, NC 27703 <br />Personal Appearance Rider #33185 <br />Larry wants you to have the best performance possible. A successful performance requires 1) a quality sound system, <br />2) an audience seated closely together near the stage area, and 3) the elimination of all distractions. <br />Technical and Staging Requirements: <br />The Purchaser agrees to furnish and fulfill, at its sole cost and expense, the following requirements for the Performance, each of which <br />is determined to be a material and essential term of the Performance Contract: <br />o Sound: A complete, working sound system which shall include: <br />x 1 (one) hand-held microphone. If corded, please provide plenty of cord to move about freely. <br />x 1 (one) microphone stand (not attached to lecturn). <br />x Someone available who knows how to set up and operate the sound system. <br />o Stage: A clean, flat area to perform, approximately 8 ft by 8 ft. A raised platform is recommended for ease of audience viewing <br />if the audience exceeds 100 people, but a raised platform is not required. <br />x It is absolutely critical that the audience is seated near the Speaker. Any distance between the Speaker and <br />audience will reduce the quality of everyone’s experience. <br />x Position the first row of the audience no more than five feet from the edge of the stage area. Larry would like to be <br />able to “high-five” people in the front row. <br />x Place all tables or seating comfortably close together. Remember: laughter is contagious. <br />o Lighting: If possible, use lighting to illuminate the stage area. Or keep all house lights “up”. This will help the audience see the <br />Speaker’s facial expressions. <br />o Introduction: Have someone from your organization introduce the Speaker. <br />x If serving a meal, wait until people are finished eating before introducing the Speaker. <br />Optional: <br />o Video: [If available] Laptop, video projector, and projection screen appropriate to venue size. Speaker will provide PowerPoint <br />presentation on USB drive. This will be used if available, but is not required. Please do not incur additional expense. <br />Additional: <br />o Planned topic: Maintaining a Positive Attitude. It will be about half humor and half content – very comedic in nature. <br />o Purchaser may download and use flyers, photos, introduction and bio information from <br />www.trustedspeakers.com/proposal.asp?pro=33185 <br />o Speaker is happy to socialize with attendees following the performance, but may prefer quiet time prior to the performance in <br />order to prepare. He will remain nearby and easily accessible (adjoining room, foyer or backstage, for example). <br />o If you want the best possible audience reaction, promote the comedy show and the Speaker ahead of time. The entertainment <br />should not be a surprise. <br />Agreed by Purchaser: _________________________________________________ Date: _____________________ <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 2102FF3F-123F-4D5F-9A87-A78886048973 <br />2/13/2019
