I can't attest to this particular show, but have done others and have had to show proof of insurance. Thanksfully it is not too awfully expensive approx. $125 per year for $1 million insurance.
Can anyone speak to the Artist's Agreement that stipulates you must produce a certificate of insurance if asked? I don't carry insurance (know I should, but I don't right now) and couldn't produce one if asked. Do they actually ask for one?
