A themed night gives members a reason to buy a ticket rather than just drop in. It also helps a club attract new faces. Here are themes that work, with acts on our books to match.
Themes that sell
- Motown and soul night: Angelettes perform the music of The Supremes and Martha Reeves, with choreography and costume changes.
- Country night: Definitely Dolly, with rhinestones and a full party band option.
- Blues Brothers night: The Jailhouse Blues Brothers, who can double up with their ska show.
- Comedy night: Lee Lard's Peter Kay tribute, a one-hour comedy show.
- Wartime tea dance: Keep Calm and Carrie On for an afternoon event.
- Jersey Boys night: Big Men In Town, telling the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.
Planning a programme
Spread themes through the year, so members have something to look forward to. Put the biggest acts on the busiest nights, and try newer themes on quieter ones.
Selling tickets
- Use the act's name and theme in every poster and post.
- Sell tickets in advance, with a discount for members.
- Ask guests to dress up, and give a prize for the best costume.
- Add a themed food menu or drink.
Practical points
Clubs often have a stage, a PA and lighting. Tell us what you have, and we'll check whether the act needs to bring its own. Confirm the bar opening times and the finish time.
