Booking Details - Read this before you email us
We do not do space rentals and we do not book events with outside promoters or bookers. The Secret Loft staff produces and runs every show. You're welcome to celebrate birthdays or special events with your friends at Secret Loft - send us an email and we can offer you a discount on bulk tickets to an upcoming dance party, comedy show, or other event.
If you're a performer who'd like to be booked at Secret Loft, send us links to your work (published work for poets, mixes/tracks for musicians/DJs, performance videos for circus/burlesque) at secretloftnyc@gmail.com and we'll be in touch when we have a spot for you on an upcoming bill. You should be at a level where you perform regularly at mid-size venues. We review all submissions. We get a lot of them, so you will only hear back once we have a spot for you. Coming to a Secret Loft show and being a part of our community makes it much more likely that you'll get booked. Pay rate varies depending the on the event. We make a point to be honest and fast with payouts.
