Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

Xander

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.

You have to decorate the club according to the kind of party you going to have ? that matters at all?

Asked by Elgrande over 11 years ago

Nope

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

Asked by Alias almost 12 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.

do clubs ever get protested by feminist leagues, anti rape orgnizations, that kind of thing?

Asked by annie burns almost 12 years ago

Ha, I've never seen it but the idea of a bouncer flashing a light in the face of a short-haired Vassar alum screaming about rape culture makes me laugh. 

my bestfriend's sis is gorgeous half-brazilian girl & since she was 17 (i was 15) has led this lavish lifestyle of travel (miami, ny, vegas, maui), parties, having random hot girl friends & expensive clothes. their fam is NOT rich.. (tb-continued)..

Asked by marie from austin tx over 11 years ago

......i'm pretty sure this girl doesn't sleep around but she did become a bartender at 18 and does it sometimes. can you write out a how-to list for attractive girls that want to live the same lifestyle? i'm 20 and have a fake id."

You're kidding yourself if you don't think she sleeps around. That lifestyle only goes so far until you have to pay the piper.

There's no to-do list except maybe move to LA, NY or Miami. Look hot, got out a lot, if you are attractive enough, the rest comes to you. 

Stay in school kids

 

 

Lets just assume that I've some money to spend, how would I get the easiest way inside a club being what you call a undesirable ethnicity, badly dressed and all?

Asked by sexymofo almost 12 years ago

Buy nice clothes, try to bring girls if you can, grease the bouncer. If all else fails, buy botttle service. 

You mentioned that in the highest tiers, being a promoter gives up to 200k. Do you think, then, I should dump my prospects of being a commercial pilot and follow the promoter path instead?

Asked by MrPlaneDick over 11 years ago

Keep in mind you are taking career advise from someone whose career choice at one point was to be a nightclub promoter. So take with a grain of salt.

You need to be model good-looking to make that kind of money. And really, that's not enough. The guys that make that kind of money are usually a group of friends of famous/rich fathers. They are really good looking and grew up around party people so they have a huge network of hot girls and connections to attractive people. Ideally the went to high school in Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades or Malibu so they might have a friends who are low-level famous (think Brody Jenner). And they are really good looking so attractive women want to hang out with them. 

They're also usually huge douchebags

Does this sound like you? If not, don't quit your day job

The next time I'm on a plane I'm going to try not to think about my pilot considering slut-herding on the weekend as a career option.
