Client spotlight: Broadway star Lena Hall on her virtual concerts

Lena Hall is a Broadway star, Grammy-nominated singer and professional actor. But in 2020 she launched her Lena Hall Virtually Live shows and, in turn, she became a virtual event organiser, producer, technician, performer and, with a little help from Ticket Tailor, an expert at selling tickets for virtual concerts. A very 2020 career change if we may say so! Lena kindly gave us some of her time to tell us about the last year and how virtual events came to the rescue, for her, but also her eager community of Zoom fans!

Comedy at The Covid Arms: A chat with the guys who accidentally started one of this year’s most successful comedy clubs

Ever had one of those moments where a conversation with friends has been so side-splittingly hilarious that one of you’ve enthusiastically declared: ‘we should SO turn this into a podcast!’?

It’s a pretty common utterance among witty, like-minded buddies these days, but rarely does the ‘let’s put this in front of an audience’ sentiment come to anything other than a beer-fuelled pipe dream. Unless you’re friends Jake, Jess and Kiri, that is, who’s virtual hangout turned from a way to chill with mates when the pubs were closed, into a wildly successful comedy club in a matter of days.

Client spotlight: The Corn Exchange in Edinburgh

Every event organiser and venue is currently looking at their space and capabilities to assess what the future looks like and what changes are required to kickstart their businesses. We love this example of entrepreneurialism shown by the team at The Corn Exchange in Edinburgh.

Client spotlight: Tibbs Drive-In Theatre

These retro theatres are a classic part of American film culture and were a staple of post-war entertainment, with over 4,000 theatres in the US by the 1950’s. This tailed off down to as low as 317 theatres in 2019, but even before the pandemic hit business was starting to boom again as an appetite for a nostalgic night out was coming back into fashion. As the lockdown eases, the appeal of being able to stay in the safety of your own car whilst enjoying a night out is an obvious attraction.

We spoke to Marcella from Tibbs Drive-in Theatre who started using Ticket Tailor for ticketing their drive-in theatre just this year.

At Ticket Tailor we’ve seen a huge increase in the number of workshops, courses and classes taking place on our platform.

Who can blame him!

We hope you enjoy this interview, it’s a really interesting story of someone discovering a new passion and committing whole heartedly at turning it into a new life….
