Mais oui...

I have not, but Marcus Monroe the juggler (who is a member of this site) has.

"Street Performers" there are all hired entertainers, not buskers. We tried to 'crash" it several years ago and were closed in 10 minutes. If you want to work there - contact the production Co, but as long as I remember from the conversation with producers - it pays really bad, and you are not allowed to accept any tips.

Milwaukee

I've had a few PMs from performers about Milwaukee, and I'll repeat what I told them: Milwaukee is not receptive to buskers. That's the bad news. The good news is that Milwaukee hosts many summer festivals, including Summerfest, that hire hundreds of performers as strolling entertainers & stage acts... and you can keep all the tips you get.

interesting.

i was recently hired as an act (living statue) for this year's bastille day festival.

i'm working out a contract currently and, honestly, feel somewhat uncomfortable discussing money in depth before it is hammered out. but i can comfortably say that i'm being paid and i am allowed to collect tips.

i've never been to milwaukee (ever!) so feel free to email me with any thoughts about it!
