Promoter Representative

A promoter representative serves as a key liaison between the talent, venue, and promoter, ensuring the smooth execution of all technical and on-site requirements needed to make the show a success.   This individual is responsible for advancing the show's needs, coordinating everything from production elements, hiring of local vendors (sound, lights, video, catering, etc.) to local staffing.  In some instances, the promoter representative also settles the show. Typically, they are one of the first to arrive at the venue on show day and one of the last to leave. 

​

Dave Ockun has an extensive history in being a promoter representative, covering shows with some of the biggest and best names in music and comedy.   Below is a comprehensive, though not exhaustive, list of artists, bands, comedians, podcast shows and events that Dave has worked as a Promoter Representative
