What's in a name? A discussion on originality VS using an established name for your own means...

Pro tip:

Google is your friend.

If you're starting a new production, troupe, festival, or show, please research the name you're considering before launching. A quick search can save everyone a great deal of confusion down the road.

Recently, I became aware of another production using the name "VaudeVillains" for their events. VaudeVillains has been the name of my production company and flagship show since the early 2000s, and has appeared at festivals, news outlets, in magazines, music videos, newspapers, conventions, expos, theaters, and special events for many years. It is quite visible.

Over the years, VaudeVillains has helped introduce and grow boylesque in the Southern United States, provided opportunities for countless performers, mentored emerging producers, and produced artists who have gone on to headline festivals and earn major titles and awards throughout the burlesque community.

The name was rooted in us centering our acts around old Vaudeville, often with a darker or Gothic edge as we mostly performed in horror events, metal/industrial rock shows, and cheeky themes intended to provoke our audiences with dark humor. It became our branding, and it suited us.

This isn't the first time I've encountered a show using the same name. A few years ago, a production overseas used the VaudeVillains name as well, and it created significant confusion among audiences, media outlets, radio hosts, and event organizers. I regularly received messages, emails, and phone calls from people believing they were contacting my production, only to discover they were looking for an entirely different show. Nobody benefits from that kind of confusion.

I have not reached out to the current producers as I do see much of a point, and I will not ask them to change it- this is just an example of what can happen and has happened when using an established event name, and this post is not intended as an attack. Rather, it's a reminder that names matter, and that a little research can go a long way toward respecting the work that others have spent years building. My co-producer and several cast members brought it all to my attention as I hadn't seen it at all, and had no awareness of this happening.

If you're creating something new, I encourage you to choose a name that is uniquely yours- something that reflects your vision, your brand, and your creative identity.

Our industry is filled with imaginative people, and there is plenty of room for fresh ideas without borrowing names that are already established. Frankly, even just being tagged in the wrong thing online because people are confused about who is who is annoying enough.

And if you ever need help brainstorming or researching a title for a new production, I'm always happy to lend a hand. I'd much rather help someone build a strong new brand than see them accidentally inherit years of confusion.

I think it's time to check-in on something major-

Pro-Tip:

Never compare yourself to another entertainer.

Their journey, their successes, their path- has nothing to do with you or your own journey. When you feel that nasty little pang of envy when you see someone else land a booking or a title you wanted, remember that the circumstances surrounding that may be gritty, grimy, and may have been a struggle that bankrupted them, caused them to lose friends and jobs, and may have come from a mountain of strife that never made it into a spotlight. Their accomplishments had a cost that we all, as artists, are very familiar with.

Focus on the successes and wonderful things your career has already brought you. Think on your own standing ovations, the praise given to you, the epic gigs you've landed, and the countless excellent times you've had.

You may be taking your own path for granted and forgetting that perhaps there is something about you that they envy as well. Look back on the epic showreels and photos you've accumulated, play with your costumes and spin around the room a few times in your fancy frills and finery. Please don't make someone else's victory about you.

We are all just out here trying to have fun, keep the razzle-dazzle alive, and earn a buck or two doing it.

Think on your blessings- and let others enjoy their own.

Cheer your friends on with genuine enthusiasm, speak kindly of them when people mention them to you- it makes you feel good, and makes others feel good too. It improves the public's opinion of you for being enthusiastic about your peers.

Having received several surprisingly backhanded comments and messages on my own recent festival announcements, I wanted to put some light into the world and encourage people to celebrate one another's successes instead of measuring your own worth against them.

There is room for all of us to shine.

A quick pro-tip to tribute bands, fan events, and people hosting meetups:

Hey just a quick pro-tip from a full time showrunner, roadie, event promoter and producer-

I see a lot of fan events, meetups, and tribute bands popping up and I almost never see location mentioned.

Ghost has an international following, and members of fan groups are all over the world.

Please take the time to make sure the city, state, province, and even country are listed clearly in your event and show marketing graphics as well as in your post captions so people know where these things are happening.

It shouldn't take a goat sacrifice or climbing to the top of a volcano to throw a ring in just to find out where your event is.

Granted "Uncle Touchy's Happy Farm on Main Street" or "Fan Con Extreme" may be an iconic and legendary place in whatever city you're located in, but outside of your own scope of awareness no one knows where the hell the event is. Be specific and give this information up front to avoid people being frustrated or asking you questions you could have avoided by making this information clear to begin with.

For the love of Satan, list the location.
