Lou Pearlman was involved with “98 Degrees” a bit…The “Back Street Boys”…”N Sync”…. “Brooke Hogan” …”Natural”….”O Town”
He ran numerous companies (many of which I worked for….and hosted the websites of) such as Trancontinental Records, Trancontinental Studios, Talent Rock, and many more….
Recently he was convicted af investment fraud, and many other things…..and the dollar figure was just a little under half a billion dollars….
….I brought it up because over the years I saw many things both good and bad with talent searches….talent agencies etc….so due diligence is certainly needed.
I have a buddy that does some stand up in NJ – Philadelphia – NY, and he has said that often comics really need to pay their dues doing open mike nights etc….and some states and geographic areas may have a circuit where you can do just that.
I would think if you did that, talk to the other comics that do that and maybe get some tips and/or refrrrals…
