“I love festivals because they seem like more of an artsy, supportive attitude - which benefits a more theatrical performer sometimes with having theater and other non-club venues, as well as the audience being filled with other artists. It's nice to be with other comics, as usually at other road gigs, I'm solo for the most part.” WellsSometimesSeemsArtistAttitudeAudienceNiceBenefitsTheaterFilledClubsPerformersSoloSupportiveFestivalsGigsTheatricalVenues Author:Maria Bamford
“When you play a smaller, more intimate venue, you can have real conversations with your audience, take risks, and stay current. You can also change the set list, on how the day feels or how the audience reacts. When you do arena shows, every arena looks and feels the same. You can't see who is in the room.” FeelsLooksRealPlayShowsRoomsAudienceRiskConversationCurrentsListsIntimateArenaVenuesReal Conversation Author:Jason Mraz
“I want to try to apply my abilities sometimes to make families happy, so I have to make movies at a venue that are not gratuitously violent, that are not using bullets and bloodshed, but are using things like magic and fantasy and enchantment and the imagination. To me that's just all positive stuff. But I am eclectic and I still like to make movies for the midnight audience as well.” WantTryingWellsStillsSometimesStuffImaginationAbilityFantasyAudienceMagicViolentBulletsMidnightEnchantmentVenuesBloodshedEclectic Author:Nicolas Cage
“The hour on stage is rarely a drag. In fact, I can't really say that its ever a drag.

That's just the wrong venue".” Has BeensI CanFactsWaitingHoursChallengesAudienceStageStrangeCorporateNot SureDragOccasionalGigsSympatheticVenues Author:Joel Plaskett
“Sometimes you'll play, like, a large venue - maybe an outdoor venue or something - where it's so big that you can see all of the disinterested people.
