Nightclub Promoter

Nightclub Promoter

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.

Did you party a lot as a nightclub promoter

Asked by Dmack almost 11 years ago

If by party you mean do drugs, it depends. It's hard to stay up that late without some chemical assitance but most promoters stop at Red Bull or Adderral. 

If you mean party...like go out. Yeah that's the job.

What are the chances of my 20 year old friend getting in with us if we are 23-26? With a real ID? We are a group of 6 females.

Asked by helpMePlease over 10 years ago

Depends on the bar and the city. And how attractive she is.

Does a south american white chick fall into the category "undesirable ethnicity"?

Asked by Julieta over 10 years ago

Do you look white? The bouncers are not going to give you a 23andMe DNA test. They'll take one look and decide. 

Obviously my name means I have something going for me. What if I have something uncontrollable going against me... say male pattern baldness? Could I still get lots of chicks at the club?

Asked by Dr. Derrick May almost 11 years ago

I wouldn't say it's your best bet. You should be focusing on places where the women are over 25 (when they are less looks focused) and where they might actually hear you when you say you're a surgeon. I suggest bars and restaurants. 

Also I'd consider shaving your head. The half moon bay look isn't good. 

Hello, do you need any connections to DJ in a club?

Asked by DJ over 11 years ago

It helps. The best DJ's have agents. Otherwise it's a bunch of networking and trying to get your music heard

I'm new to event promotio. What would be the best way to make profit at a small local bar that does not charge at door?

Asked by playtoy about 11 years ago

Small local bars don't usually use outside promoters

I am going to be 21 on may 15th an I'm looking for a good club hip hop in Hollywood. I am having a party bus an it will be about 20-25 of us. Also is there any clubs that has service entry discounts with this many people that I am bringing.

Asked by Desinae about 10 years ago

Happy Early Birthday! Sounds like it's going to be a sloppy night.

If you park your car anywhere in Hollywood on a typical night, you'll come back to your car covered in flyers for clubs, many of which will offer discounted entrance. Otherwise, find an awful promoter and he'll offer you the same.
